Tourists are paying City Tax in europe
When traveling across Europe, many visitors are surprised to find an extra charge added to their accommodation bill — the city tax, also known as a tourist tax or tassa di soggiorno in Italy. This fee isn’t a scam or a hidden charge from your host; it’s a local government tax applied to travelers for each night they stay in a hotel, hostel, or short-term rental. The purpose is to help fund tourism infrastructure, public services, and the preservation of cultural landmarks that millions of visitors enjoy each year. The amount varies widely depending on the country and city — from as little as €1 in smaller towns to €6 or more per person per night in major destinations like Rome or Paris.
Unlike traditional taxes that are usually included in room rates, city taxes are often collected separately on-site by your host or hotel, sometimes in cash. Whether you’re staying in an Airbnb in Florence or a hotel in Amsterdam, the host is legally required to collect and remit the fee to local authorities. While the extra cost might feel inconvenient, it’s a small contribution that helps keep Europe’s most beloved cities clean, safe, and welcoming for future travelers. So next time you’re asked to pay a city tax, know that it’s part of supporting the very places that make your trip memorable.
