A trip to Venice is on most bucket lists. Over 20 million visitors go to the UNESCO World Heritage Site each year. To offset the cost of maintaining the city, the municipal council has approved a tourist tax starting this May. Tourists will pay anywhere from three to 10 euros, depending on the time of year. Those exempt include citizens born in Venice, long-term residents living or studying in Venice, children under 6 years of age, and people visiting relatives.
