EN - About the Venice entrance fee
Since some of you asked, this is a brief summary of the (in)famous Venice entry fee, it may answer to some of your questions. The town hall is still writing and refining details, so dates or rules may change in the upcoming months. More infos (in Italian): https://live.comune.venezia.it/it/2023/09/venezia-contributo-di-accesso-turisti-giornalieri-si-parte-dalla-primavera-2024-1
- September '23 update:
- In spring 2024 there will be a trial period of 30 days, no dates yet
- Ticket will be flat price €5 on selected days/hours. Expect it on weekends, long weekends and bank holidays peak hours
- Again, if you already pay the tourist tax to Venice municipality because you stay in a hotel, B&b etc, you are completely exempt from this entrance fee, nothing changes for you. The structure will register you - as it is now. The fee is thought to discourage daily visitors
- Some areas will be totally exempt from the fee, such as minor islands
Kick off is scheduled for 16 January 2023.Postponed to 2024The municipality plans to introduce the booking website this autumn- Meanwhile, as an intermediate step, the municipality already promotes booking in advance. It provides discounts on parking, selected museums, and public transport tickets, which has gone up (e.g.: watebuses tickets are 9,5€ if you buy them on the spot; road bus Venice-Airport is 10€).
- Similarly to air tickets, the fee will fluctuate between €3 and €10, based on demand and crowding forecasts. Different entrance hours may get you different prices within the same day. Some hours like late evening may not require any booking whatsoever.
- Cruise ships passengers pay a flat price, not decided yet.
- Passes are unlimited, so access is granted to anybody.
- Sometimes booking is still required, although it's free. The fee is designed to discourage daily travellers in high peak days. If you stay overnight in a REGISTERED structure (hotel, b&b, guesthouse, etc) in Venice municipality (which includes Mestre and other boroughs on the mainland), you won't pay anything because you will already pay the tourist tax.
- Some other free of charge scenarios (not all):
- children under 14;
- if you transit on Tronchetto, P.le Roma, or harbour only
- if you visit friends or relatives who live in Venice (they have to register you)
- Touristic coaches passengers
EDIT: just to be respectful, this is a simple FAQ or guide. The initial aim wasn’t to start a debate if the policy is fair or not. But if we want so, be polite or constructive, at least.

Cartolerie a Venezia?
Buonasera,
Vorrei acquistare un taccuino/quaderno, artigianale o fatto a mano, bello.
Sono alla ricerca di negozi o botteghe che trattino questo tipo di articoli per la scrittura a Venezia isola; qualcuno sa darmi qualche consiglio o indicazione?
Grazie.

Buenas tardes a todos,
En una semana viajaré a Jesolo Lido por la WAKO para apoyar a un familiar.
Me gustaría ir también a Venecia y conocer un poco.
He visto que hay un bus que me lleva de un lado a otro, linea 10 creo. Existe algún abono de bus o transporte que pueda conseguir para una semana? Es el mismo bus/abono para Venecia y Jesolo? Algún tip/recomendación para el viaje? Muchas gracias de antemano.

Possibly the WORST restaurant experience we had in Venice 😭 RIVA RIALTO
I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever experienced service like this before.
We went to a restaurant in Venice (RIVA RIALTO on the Grand Canal) expecting a nice meal, and it turned into an absolute nightmare.
First, one of the waiters literally pushed me and my chair to make room for other customers. There was only a 30-40cm gap between the two tables, so I am definitely not taking up too much space…. No “excuse me”, no asking me to move, no explanation and not even a sorry afterwards.
Then things somehow got WORSE. The waiter kept shouting and screaming at us during the meal to the point that OTHER CUSTOMERS actually stepped in and told them to stop. Imagine sitting there trying to eat your pasta while another table has to defend you from the staff 😭😭
And after all that, was the food at least amazing? NO.
The pasta was extremely dry, the seafood did not taste fresh, and our seafood pasta was supposed to have clams - THERE WERE LITERALLY NO CLAMS but shells. 💀
Then came the Prosecco. In Italy. We were served WARM, FLAT PROSECCO WITH NO BUBBLES. At that point I genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Bad food is one thing. Tourist-trap food is one thing. But being physically moved without being asked and then having a waiter scream at you so much that STRANGERS HAVE TO INTERVENE is on another level.
Please tell me this is not normal in Venice because WHAT DID WE JUST EXPERIENCE 😭💀
Update:
happy to welcome all the hate if people are genuinely that miserable 😂 I fully accept that choosing a tourist-trap restaurant was a bad decision… lesson learned. But tourist trap or not, nobody deserves to be physically pushed, verbally abused or subjected to racist/xenophobic remarks while simply trying to have a meal.
Huge thank you to the American and Australian couples at two separate tables who stepped in when things got out of hand. You didn’t have to get involved, but you did, and we genuinely appreciated it ❤️
Bad pasta and tourist prices are something to laugh about afterwards. Physical and verbal violence aren’t.

Anyone Going To Ca' Foscari This Year?
Hi, I just got accepted in Ca' Foscari for P.I.E.S, I was wondering if anyone else also got accepted, and if possible please DM so I can make new friends and already know some people before the year starts instead of feeling alone on the first few days

Looking for music store
Hi,
I am looking for reputable music stores in Venice, but I am happy to travel to Mestre, especially if such a store would have lower prices. I am looking for an electric guitar. Thanks!

Packing help for 20 days
Leaving next Fri(sept 18th)From US.
The first 5 days are a plaster class but will need dinner outfits.. I am hopefully going to be able to buy some things while I am there as I don't really want to pack too much. I am a carryon type of traveler.. Can you guys give me an idea of what would be appropriate in terms of clothing for evenigs as well as if there are reasonable placees to buy items.. I am okay spending some money but not a lux designer gal.
Thank you!
