No CdA Venezia non Γ¨ un museo! Venezia non Γ¨ a pagamento!

Nocda.com is the website where you can download your entrance code for Venice for free. If you are a day tripper, the city council of Venice established a fee against which many residents decide to rebel. Venice is not a museum and a fee won’t be a solution against over tourism
