The city council has announced that it will ban visitor groups bigger than 25 people – half the size of an average tourist bus – as well as the use of speakers and microphones from 1 June 2024.
As part of the new measures, not only will big groups be banned from the city centre, but they will also be barred from heading to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
According to councillor Elisabetta Pesce, curbing tourist numbers will promote “sustainable tourism while ensuring the city’s safety”.
