Venice Entrance Fee

Please note that the City of Venice has introduced an access fee for day visitors on certain dates to manage tourism flows, including July 25, the day of the workshop. We recommend all participants not living in the municipality of Venice to check the official information on the booking portal Venezia Unica.
Visitors staying overnight in Venice are generally exempt from the fee, but still required to explicitly ask for an exemption. For full details and the list of exemptions, please refer to this page.

Public transport in Venice
