Misinformation does not travel in Venice

To ensure that safe information is disseminated and available to all, we have created a page dedicated to debunking the main myths circulating on the net. 

Myth

Venice closes to the public.

Truth

Venice does not close its doors to tourists, it has always welcomed everyone. The Municipality of Venice has adopted a safe and balanced method of access distribution, designed for the well-being of the city and its citizens. 

Myth

Access to Venice will be through turnstiles.

Truth

In Venice, it will always be possible to stroll freely through the city's calli. Verification checks will be carried out without the aid of turnstiles but by the staff in charge. 

Myth

Checks will only be carried out on exempt and excluded persons. 

Truth

Booking checks will be carried out by the appointed communication authorities. Both exempt persons and those subject to payment of the CdA (Access Fee) may be required to show the booking code in case of control.
