A popular city in Italy will soon start charging tourists an extra fee for visiting.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) warned that holidaymakers who visit Venice or its surrounding islands for less than two nights will be subject to a charge from summer 2023. A sought-after destination steeped in history and romance, the city is made up of 118 small islands.
It's a hit with tourists who want to sample the local cuisine, explore the area's stunning sights and canals from a gondola or for couples looking for a romantic getaway. But from next summer, doing so will get slightly more expensive.
