How much does a Venice entrance ticket reservation cost?
The amount of the contribution for 2026 is 10 euros per day. For those who pay the contribution within the fourth last day before the day of access, they will pay the reduced price of 5 euro per day. This contribution applies exclusively to the ancient city of Venice and not to the smaller islands such as Lido di Venezia, Murano, Burano and others. Those transiting through Piazzale Roma, Tronchetto or the Maritime Station without entering the ancient city is not obliged to pay the contribution.
These rates were confirmed by the municipal resolution of November 2025, which reiterates the two payment bands: €5 for those who pay within the fourth last day before access and €10 for those who pay in the four days prior to entering the city.
