Florence's tourist tax
Every guest aged 12 or over pays Florence's imposta di soggiorno: €3.50 to €8 a night, depending on the type of accommodation and its stars, for up to 7 nights.
How the imposta di soggiorno works
Florence charges its imposta di soggiorno per person per night for up to 7 consecutive nights. Hotels pay by star rating, from €3.50 (1 star) to €8 (5 stars); B&Bs, holiday apartments and short lets pay €6, after a 50-cent rise on 1 February 2025. Children under 12 pay nothing.
Rates by type of stay
The more stars, the more you pay. Other kinds of accommodation have their own rates.
