Venice Access Fee — Money for nothing

The “Venice Access Fee” introduced by the municipal administration will do absolutely nothing to resolve the real issues of the city.

https://historywalksvenice.com/venetian-story/venice-access-fee-money-for-nothing/

info,

Sestiere San Marco

The Sestiere San Marco is the central part of the city, bounded by the Grand Canal on three sides and a line from the Rialto to the Doge’s Palace on the last. It is one of the smallest of the sestieri, but probably the most important.
