Already on home stands “Venice open city. Venice is not a museum. You don’t have to pay to enter a city. Become a friend of a Venetian and visit the city without paying any tickets!“
A very simple page in which he can “donate“Or“receive“A code. But what is it?
Nothing but a sort of boycott which uses one of the flaws of the new regulation, in particular the possibility granted to the inhabitants to invite an unlimited number of acquaintances, a word with a rather elusive definition.
Back in force on Easter days, the ticket will be in force for 54 days in 2025 and they will pay if you have registered close to the visit, 5 euros if you have booked at least 4 days before.
But do everyone have to pay for it? Not exactly. Among the exempt people are obviously the residents, but also those who sleep in Venice in the hotel or in B&B and therefore pay the tourist tax, the relatives of the residents up to the third degree, those who work in the city, people with disabilities, the people called by the judicial offices, those who have to undergo exams or medical visits and all the people residing in Veneto.
All exempt people must register on the platform and download the QR code (the only exception are the inhabitants and residents in Veneto, to whom the identity card is enough) and the “acquaintances” fall into one of the many exemptions.
And it would be the foul here. On the Nocda web page, where Nocda It is no coincidence that it is for “No to the access contribution“, The codes would allow you to circumvent the regulation. To date, the codes loaded and donated on the site by people who live in Venice were over 160: everyone can download a QR code from the platform made online by the Municipality to manage payments and exemptions (the QR code must be shown in case of checks). Each code can be used by maximum of 10 people, so in total more than 1,600 invitations were available. Donati are not associated with the people who receive them to respect privacy.
Et voilà.
