After dipping their toes in the waters of tourist management, Venice's officials are now diving in headfirst with entry fees on 54 days next year. Want to do a quick Instagram tour of St. Mark's Square? That'll be €5, grazie mille.
Venetians may hike their new entry fee to €10 and expand how often it applies. The goal is to draw a bigger share of travelers who are respectful and want to explore Venice beyond the beaten path.
