Tourist tax

Milan, like many other cities in Italy and throughout the world, has established a Tourist Tax for tourists and visitors.

The amount ranges from €. 2,00 to €. 5,00 per night, according to the type, class and number of stars of the establishment.

The establishment must issue a separate receipt, or indicate the amount paid for the Tourist Tax within the invoice.

The staff are bound to provide all necessary information on exemptions from payment of the tax.

In 2015 the 50% reduction of the tax for visitors staying during August will not be applied.

Revenues from the Tourist Tax will finance actions for the preservation of the city’s artistic heritage and for the improvement of services for all tourists.
