Venice access fee checker — 2026 lookup

Enter a 2026 visit date, area and visitor category to check the access-fee route. The 2026 season has ended; this is a historical lookup, not a 2027 travel checker.

Check a 2026 visit and payment date. JavaScript is required; dates stay in your browser.

Last checked 2026-11-14. Rules change, sometimes at short notice. We list the date we last checked each official source; confirm with the official government source before you travel, buy or file. This is general information, not legal or immigration advice.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

The checker matches the date against the municipality’s 60 listed days from 3 April through 26 July 2026. It then checks ancient-city presence during the published 08:30–16:00 local-time window and the selected visitor route. Enter each visit day separately. There is no monetary rounding.

Ordinary day visitors aged 14 or older use the payment route. Children under 14 are exempt under regulation article 5(1)(f), corroborated by the official exemption guidance; this governs the threshold despite the conflicting wording in the municipal overview. Municipal accommodation guests use the overnight exemption route. Other exemptions need a category-specific check. Open the official payment and exemption portal; this tool cannot issue a QR code.

Resolution 254/2025, operative paragraph 1 (page 6) sets €5 through midnight at the end of the fourth day before entry, and €10 from the start of the third day before entry. Enter Venice-local calendar dates, not timestamps: four or more days ahead costs €5; three days ahead through the visit date costs €10. Payment dates after the visit are rejected.

Transit-only covers remaining exclusively within Ponte della Libertà, Piazzale Roma, Santa Lucia station and its direct connection to Piazzale Roma, Stazione Marittima, San Basilio and Isola Nova del Tronchetto. Check the official area guidance and boundaries link. No payment or exemption request is needed while remaining in those areas.

Eligible overnight guests may obtain a portal exemption QR code or complete and carry the official certification/substitute declaration. The 2026 guidance confirms this alternative. Confirm municipal location and eligible arrival-through-departure dates with the provider.

Worked examples

Day visitor on 3 April 2026

An adult in the ancient city during application hours falls on a listed date: €5 per person if paid on 30 March, or €10 if paid on 31 March.

Overnight guest on 26 July 2026

A qualifying guest staying within Venice municipality follows the exemption route: €0 access fee, with either a portal exemption QR code or the official certification/substitute declaration. Accommodation tourist tax is separate.

Visit on 27 July 2026

The day after the final listed date has €0 access fee under the 2026 calendar, with no access-fee exemption request for that visit.

Frequently asked questions

Is every day in the season chargeable?
No. The 2026 list contains 60 specific dates, with gaps. The checker uses the explicit list, not a continuous April-to-July range.
Does arriving before 08:30 avoid the fee?
An earlier arrival is not enough if you remain in the ancient city during application hours. Answer the presence question for the whole visit.
Does a hotel booking remove the registration step?
Qualifying guests can obtain a portal exemption QR code or carry the official certification/substitute declaration. Online registration is not mandatory when using the declaration alternative. Confirm municipal location and the dates covered with the provider.
Are the minor islands included?
The 2026 experiment excludes the minor lagoon islands. If your trip also enters the ancient city during application hours, select the ancient-city option.
Can this check a 2027 visit?
No. Other years return “Outside verified year,” not a zero-fee conclusion. The live portal now displays 2027 information; consult it for the applicable rules.
