Info on Venice Entry Fee

There's some very interesting info there.

The first designated taxable period is April 25 - May 5. At this time there are no taxable days after mid-July. I'd have guessed late July and August would be quite busy in Venice, but maybe a lot of Europeans head to beaches then, rather than to Venice. The city wasn't crazy-awful the second half of September 2022.

Everyone in Venice (not including the islands) between 0830 and 1600 on the designated days must have a barcode obtained from the cda.ve.it website. That includes people staying in Venetian hotels, who are one of the categories not being charged. I guess that means there will be inspectors wandering around, asking to see people's barcodes. This seems awkward for folks not traveling with smartphones.

Thank you. This is helpful information for my trip to Venice in May.
