Rome to Increase Tourist Tax in Holy Year to Ease Coach Congestion | Telegraph.co.uk

Rome is becoming an “expensive and unpredictable” holiday destination, critics of a plan to raise tourist taxes in the city have argued. The city is again considering raising taxes for visitors during its jubilee year in 2016. Each coach load of tourists will this December be charged a daily rate of €1,000 to enter the city centre to see sights such as the Vatican, a 500 per cent rise on the current price of a coach permit (€200).
