Venice to charge day trip visitors …

YUP — starting next year, Venice will begin charging day trip visitors a fee — with “hefty fines” if you get caught by authorities without showing you paid. Folks staying in hotels will have the cost added into their lodging bills — logistic details are still being worked out with some discounts if you visit on slower days. Look for other popular European destinations to watch carefully as “day tripper” fees may show up in other cities???
