Venice's 'Contributo di Accesso'

Dear Guests, we would like to inform you about an important new regulation introduced by the City of Venice which may affect your upcoming visit. The 'Contributo di Accesso' (Access Contribution) is a new fee implemented by the city aimed at managing tourism and maintaining the urban infrastructure. This initiative is designed to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors alike by contributing to the upkeep of the city's unique environment.

What is the 'Contributo di Accesso'? The 'Contributo di Accesso' is a fee that applies to visitors who come to Venice for less than 24 hours. This measure targets day-trippers, helping to regulate the flow of tourists and ensuring that those who stay longer contribute differently to the city's maintenance.

How does it affect you? As valued guests staying at our hotel, you might be eligible for an exemption from this fee. Visitors who have proof of accommodation in Venice or its islands are not subject to this contribution. This is part of our commitment to ensuring that your stay is as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.

Learn More and Apply for an Exemption For detailed information on the 'Contributo di Accesso' and to apply for an exemption, please visit the official Venice Municipality page.

We look forward to welcoming you to Venice and ensuring your visit is memorable and enjoyable.
