In an effort to address the challenges posed by over-tourism, the city of Venice has initiated a pilot program to impose a 5-euro entry fee on day-trippers. The aim is to regulate visitor numbers on peak days and create a more sustainable living environment for the city's residents.
Upon arrival at Venice's main train station, visitors were greeted with clear signage outlining the 29 dates of the test phase and new designated entrances for different groups of people. Stewards were available to assist individuals in downloading the necessary QR code to pay the fee.
