Venice is struggling with the impacts of “overtourism” – when the number of visitors to an area worsens the experience of being there for locals or other tourists.
There were around 50,000 people living in the historic city centre in 2023 when there were around 4.9 million tourist arrivals, according to the data gathering website Statista.
There will be fines ranging from €25 to €500 euros (£21 to £421) for those who do not comply with the new measures.
