From April 25, a famous city with an enviable history introduces an entrance fee of 5 euros. There are also tourists who will avoid paying the tax.
The world’s most romantic tourist destination has an entrance fee
Rightly considered the most romantic tourist destination, the Italian city of Venice is trying to reduce congestion by imposing an entrance fee.
Starting from April 25, the entrance fee for tourists on weekends will be 5 euros, with the main aim of reducing congestion in the city. This measure will be in effect until mid-July.
The fee must be paid by all visitors over the age of 14 who enter the city between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM using any means of transport (train, ferry, etc.) on the specified days. Also, access to the historic area of the lagoon city will be subject to a fee on certain weekends until mid-July.
The period in which the fee is applied is between April 25 and July 14, on the days of April 25-30, 1-5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 May, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 , June 29, 30 and July 6, 7, 13 and 14. Exceptions are children under 14, people born in Venice and the Veneto region, holders of the European Disability Card and their companions, as well as tourists staying in hotels in Venice.
Venice City Hall aims to discourage hit and run tourism on days with the highest flow of visitors. Failure to comply with the rules attracts fines between 50 and 300 euros.
A resort town in Tuscany has become highly sought after
Regarding tourism in Italy, it must be said that not only Venice, Rome, or Florence are the most popular destinations in “Cizma”.
There are many places, which we may not know about, that are worth visiting.
Punta Ala is a resort town located in Tuscany. It is located between Castiglione della Pescaya and Follonica. This resort enjoys great popularity worldwide, but most who come here are visitors from Milan and Italians who cannot afford vacations in more expensive places, according to Explore.com.
Here you’ll find a gorgeous pine forest that borders Punta Ala’s incredible beaches, as well as a 16th-century castle.
In addition, you can admire the famous harbor where impressive boats and yachts dock. Here’s everything you need to know before visiting Punta Ala.
The pine forest and the beaches
Punta Ala has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Pine trees perfume the air, adding a special charm to the small town. You can visit the beach, north of Punta Hidalgo, where the sand is very fine and the water crystal clear.
Private beach clubs, stylish cafes, restaurants and beach umbrellas line the shore.
Despite the natural beauty, the day begins for many not on the beach, but at La Pasticceria Siciliana – a famous patisserie on the ground floor of a drab 1960s apartment block.
The espresso here has no equal, and the pastries – cannoli filled with ricotta – are what attract tourists who come here year after year.
