Starting from today, daily visitors will have to pay an entrance fee of 5 € to visit the charming Venice. This charge will be in place on peak weekends and other holidays, amounting to 29 days in total until the end of July.

The tourist tax can be purchased on an online payment platform, that is active since January. Even though it’s better to pay through the website, the payment can be also made at designated entrance points to the city. Are tourists aware of it? Do local people know about it?
Do they agree with it? Are they against it? We wandered downtown and around Trieste Airport to find out.

I define myself as an unconventional expat: I lived in Budapest for five years and I recently moved back to Trieste. Today I look at my homeland with different eyes, I love to (re)discover places of my childhood or to find new spots around the region. Living abroad and traveling around made me an open-minded and tolerant person and my studies in foreign languages and journalism gave me the right amount of creativity and curiosity to never stop exploring.
