Venice is reportedly preparing to enforce an entry fee for visitors in a bid to control over-tourism.

Italian newspaper La Stampa reports the entry fee will be between €3 and €10 depending on the season.

It’s part of a package of measures that are set to be imposed from summer 2022, which include requiring visitors to book in advance, pay a fee and enter the city via electronic turnstiles, the newspaper reports.

Residents and their relatives, children under six and people staying in local hotels will be exempt from the measures.
