This year hotels, hostels and vacation rentals will be 30% more expensive than last year. Needless to say, the reasons are inflation and the energy crisis, state representatives of the industry.
The tourist tax will also weigh on the final invoice. The example of Florence is symbolic. If we wanted to stay one night to admire Michelangelo’s David statue in the Uffizi along with the other beauties of the city, we would have to pay a city tax of 8 euros per day. 5 before you pay. How about a little? Let’s do a quick count. For a family of 4, one must pay a good tourist tax of 224 euros for a week in Florence.
To this, of course, must be added other out-of-pocket expenses and 25 euros per person for entry to the Uffizi. Okay, no art city: let’s run away, it might say, but we’ll have to deal not with airfare going up 10%, but with more expensive ferries, imposing a landing tax on the islands.
then came the beach the blow too bounty: sunbeds and umbrellas will cost up to 20% after the 25% increase by the government for bathroom facilities. A family without much travel this year will have to factor in an extra 500 euros for a summer vacation.
For a week in July in an all-inclusive village, we go from a thousand euros last year to 1,500 in 2023. Those who choose the red dot week on 15 August will instead have to pay at least 4,000 euros for accommodation alone. We can clearly say that traveling for families is a luxury. But watch out for offers to organize your trip in advance. You can still save a few euros.
