Venice has introduced new rules around the size of tourist groups and the use of loudspeakers as part of its continued efforts to fight overtourism.
Venice has banned tourist groups larger than 25 people
On Saturday (1 June), authorities banned visitor groups larger than 25 people – half the size of an average tourist bus – from entering the city centre and the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello as well as from using loudspeakers and microphones.
The measures, which were first announced in January 2024, aim to improve tourism in the lagoon city, striking a better balance between the needs of residents and those of tourists.
