Venice Will Implement Tourist Fees and Reservations to Visit Next Summer

In an effort to combat overtourism, the Italian city of Venice has implemented new policies that will go into effect next summer.

Tourists who wish to visit Venice will have to book a ticket in advance for a fee and enter the city through electronic turnstiles, CNBC reported via Italian newspaper La Stampa.

The entry fee will change according to the season. In high season, tourists can expect to pay as much as $12 (€10) and during less popular visiting times, the price could drop to about $3.50 (€3).

Visitors may have to book early, if they plan on visiting Venice during its most popular month as the city will implement strict daily tourist capacity limits.
