Milan or Milano is one of the most beautiful and elegant cities in Italy. It won't have that centuries-old beauty of Florence or the aquatic charm of Venice, but we certainly can't miss it on a visit to Italy. Are you going on vacation to Italy? Then write this information in your memory:
Since September last year Milan has been charging a tourist tax. With him he got in tune with many cities in Europe that implemented similar taxes in recent years. The income that this tourism has been generating since then is used to finance tourism, its improvements and promotion. In addition, part of the money also went to the restoration of the cultural heritage and the historical atmosphere of Milan. Since last year all tourists who stay in hotels have to pay one more tax.
The value of this tax is not fixed but proportional to the type of room chosen, the hotel or type of accommodation. The accommodation in Milan They have been categorized with stars and thus each one has a tax that goes hand in hand with its number of stars: one star adds 1 euro, two stars two euros and so on. The tax is applied per person per day of stay. If you stay in a tourist rental apartment then it is charged for a maximum of 14 consecutive days.
Are there exceptions to the rule? Yes, those under 18 years old do not pay it, those under 30 years old who stay in youth hostels either, nor university students under 26 years old who stay in university housing or people who are in Milan for medical treatments. Finally, in low season the tax is reduced by 50%.
