Venice day-trippers will have to make reservations and pay fee

Rules designed to better manage visitors - who often far outnumber residents - will come into force in January

Venice will oblige day-trippers to make reservations and pay a fee to visit the historic lagoon city, in an attempt to better manage visitors who often far outnumber residents in the historic centre.

Venice officials on Friday unveiled new rules for day-trippers, which will be in effect from 16 January 2023.
