Amsterdam to be the city with the highest tourist tax in Europe in 2024

30-09-23

Cities and countries across Europe have introduced visitor fees in their fight against the return of mass tourism after the pandemic. The additional fees could add hundreds of dollars to the cost of a holiday.

Next year, Venice, Valencia and Iceland have suggested that visitors will have to pay to enter. Several destinations are also raising their fees, including Barcelona. However, the highest tourist tax for 2024 looks set to be in Amsterdam.

The Dutch city has been plagued by overwhelming visitor numbers and bad tourist behaviour, and residents of the city of canals are suffering. Now, local authorities have approved a series of measures that will help those who live in Amsterdam, and will mean that tourists will pay more to visit.

The Amsterdam city council has approved its budget for 2024, and one of the most significant changes for travellers wishing to visit the city is the tourist tax.
