How it is collected

Hotels and short-term rental platforms add the tax to the bill or collect it at check-in. Cruise fees are charged through the cruise line. Day-visitor fees, like Venice's, need an online registration and a QR code.

Rates change at the start of a calendar year or season. Check the city's official tourism site when you book, especially for 2027 stays.
