Massimo Cacciari, former mayor of Venice, is urging tourists to reject the newly introduced €5 entrance fee to the city, calling it “absurd.”
Cacciari believes that day-trippers to Venice are already overcharged for services like restaurants and public transport, and should not be required to pay an additional fee to enter the city.
The former mayor’s stance suggests that tourists should resist the entrance fee as a protest against what he perceives as excessive charges targeting visitors in Venice.
