EUR 3–12 per person per night by accommodation category, charged for every night of a hotel stay. Hotels run EUR 3 (1-star), 4 (2-star), 7 (3-star), 10 (4-star) and 12 (5-star); campsites and youth hostels are EUR 3, and a B&B, inn, guesthouse, holiday apartment or short let is a flat EUR 9.50 — which makes a cheap short let dearer per night than a 3-star hotel. Unlike Rome and Venice there is NO night cap in a hotel: the 14-night cut-off applies only to residences, holiday homes and holiday apartments, and the count restarts if the stay is broken. Under-18s pay nothing, as do under-30s in youth hostels, students up to 26 enrolled at a Milanese university, and disabled travellers with their companions. These rates replaced a different 2026 set on 1 April — the 1 January table charged more for 1 to 3-star hotels (EUR 4, 5 and 7.40) and less for 5-star (EUR 10) — so a quote from early 2026 will not match.
Travellers under 18 are not charged.

EUR 0.10–5 per person per night, capped at 5 consecutive nights. A hotel in the historic centre in high season runs EUR 1 (1-star) to EUR 5 (5-star); campsites start at EUR 0.10. The Lido and lagoon islands pay 20% less (10% less for 5-star hotels) and the mainland 30% less, and low season — 1 to 31 January — is 30% below the base. Children under 10 are exempt, as are Venice residents, patients in local rehabilitation care and one companion each. A 50% reduced tariff also exists, but the published brochure does not say who qualifies for it, so we do not apply it. Venice's separate day-tripper access fee is a different charge that does not apply to guests staying overnight.
Travellers under 10 are not charged.

EUR 3.50–8 per person per night by accommodation class, capped at 7 consecutive nights: EUR 3.50 for 1-star hotels and campsites, EUR 6 for 3-star, EUR 7 for 4-star and historic residences, EUR 8 for 5-star, EUR 6 for B&Bs and short-term rentals, EUR 4 for youth hostels. Children under 12 are exempt, and school groups and under-16 sports groups pay half. Raised on 1 February 2025 — a 5-star stay costs EUR 2.50 per person per night more than the figure previously held here.
Travellers under 12 are not charged.

Venice, Amsterdam, and Barcelona are using tourist taxes to manage visitor numbers and fund infrastructure repair. Amsterdam charges 12.5% of the room price — the steepest rate in Europe, and a share rather than a flat fee, so it climbs with the price of your hotel. Barcelona hit 40 million visitors/year with a population of 1.6 million.
Bhutan's Sustainable Development Fee ($100–200/day) funds forest conservation and free healthcare/education for citizens. Rwanda's $1,500 gorilla permit directly funds mountain gorilla protection — the population has grown from 620 to 1,000+ since 2004. Higher prices = better conservation outcomes.
The UK's ETA (2024) and New Zealand's NZeTA join the US ESTA in creating pre-arrival fee systems for visa-waiver nationalities. The EU's ETIAS launches in 2025 — €7 for 3 years, covering 30 Schengen countries. These are not visas, but they cost money and must be arranged in advance.
Add 10–15% to your accommodation budget for tourist taxes in European cities. For adventure travel (gorilla trekking, Galápagos, Machu Picchu), the permit/entry fees can equal or exceed your flights. Always research before booking — some permits (Inca Trail, gorilla trekking) sell out months in advance.
