EN - About the Venice entrance fee

55 Upvotes

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 2024
  • The 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.

No mosque In Venezia

178 Upvotes

Sono iraniano e vivo in Italia, e proprio per questo sento di avere il diritto di esprimere apertamente la mia opinione: non voglio una nuova moschea a Venezia.
Venezia non è una città qualsiasi. È una città storica, unica al mondo, con un patrimonio culturale che appartiene alla sua storia europea e mediterranea. Non credo che ogni richiesta di costruire nuovi luoghi di culto debba essere automaticamente accettata, soprattutto quando riguarda una trasformazione culturale e urbanistica così importante.
Conosco personalmente la realtà dell’Iran e so quanto può diventare pericoloso il potere quando la religione viene trasformata in uno strumento politico. Non voglio vedere gli stessi meccanismi di estremismo religioso e di islamismo politico radicarsi in Italia o in Europa.
E c’è anche una questione molto personale. Io sono stato cresciuto come musulmano senza averlo mai scelto. Quando ero ancora nella culla, mi sono state recitate preghiere nell’orecchio e sono stato considerato musulmano prima ancora di poter capire cosa significasse. Non è stata una mia scelta.
Oggi sono iraniano, ma non mi considero più musulmano. La mia esperienza mi ha portato a mettere in discussione la religione con cui sono stato cresciuto e a scegliere autonomamente ciò in cui credere.
Non odio le persone musulmane e non sostengo discriminazioni contro nessuno. Ma credo di avere tutto il diritto di oppormi all’espansione dell’islamismo politico e di chiedere che Venezia rimanga fedele alla propria identità storica e culturale.
No Mosque in Venice.

Cercare una stanza in affitto a Venezia Isola: consigli?

1 Upvotes

Ciao. Per motivi di lavoro mi trasferirò tra qualche giorno in questa bellissima città. La sede è a Isola, precisamente a Cannaregio: non conosco bene Venezia, l'ho visitata da turista molto tempo fa, ma nella mappa vedo che ha la stazione vicina. Mi consigliate di cercare direttamente lì? Dovrei considerare altre zone che forse hanno canoni d'affitto un po' più bassi (ho letto cifre molto alte in quella zona)? Ringrazio chiunque sarà così gentile da darmi una mano!

Hey all, was just wondering if anyone has had experience with buying a student ticket online, do they verify age and enrollment or do you just present a student card?

Asking as a 27 year old, Non-EU student on a budget :(

Venice Film Festival

Hello there,

a friend of mine is a filmmaker that was accepted in Venice Film Festival and I was given an invitation. I am going to visit Venice for 4-5 days. Feel free to provide suggestions.

I also would like to ask, if there's obligatory dressing code, and if there are any events (dinner, parties, etc) during the film festival and how learn about them and to get in there.

Thanks in advance

Quali soprannomi avete sentito per luoghi a Venezia/Mestre e dintorni?

0 Upvotes

Lo chiedo nell’ambito di uno studio linguistico su questo tema!
Gli esempi potrebbero essere cose come Gnecca, Mestrezia o Doli (non importa quanto siano comuni)…

Inclusi soprannomi per scuole, parchi o altre istituzioni/elementi geografici

Venice film festival apartment

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

We were about to visit Venice with my wife during the film festival but we can’t go there. I have already booked an apartment near biennale from 5th to 6th September without the cancellation option.

I have booked the stay for 2 people for 191 euros. If anyone of you it’s interested I could re-sell the reservation cheaper.

The apartment: https://www.booking.com/hotel/it/brand-new-modern-biennale-giardini-apartment-up-to-4.en-gb.html?aid=898224&app\\_hotel\\_id=7141281&checkin=2026-08-29&checkout=2026-08-30&from\\_sn=ios&group\\_adults=2&group\\_children=0&label=hotel\\_details-ohn7Mu%401788010274&no\\_rooms=1&req\\_adults=2&req\\_children=0&room1=A%2CA%2C&chal\\_t=1788010287921&force\\_referer=
