Tourists have been issued with a warning as Venice officials have announced plans that they are to introduce an entry fee for holidaymakers.
The move comes after a successful trial last month and according to officials, Venice authorities have said the official date from which visitors will have to book is January 16 of next year.
The new tax will not affect those already staying in the city as this fee will be covered by their accommodation. However it will affect those looking to visit the city for a day trip.
