A measure to limit day tourism on peak days began for the second year on Friday, charging day trippers five euros (or 10 for the spontaneous traveler).

Venice is reinstating a tourist entry fee Friday after experimenting last year with charging people to enter the city during busy times to reduce congestion.

Visitors to the Italian city of Venice are now required to pay an entry fee of up to €10 ($11.37) to visit the city for a day, double the amount that was charged when the scheme was launched last year.
