Every Italian city sets its own tourist tax (imposta di soggiorno). In Milan the amount changed on 1 January 2026: here’s what you pay and who doesn’t.
How much in 2026
For short-term rentals and holiday homes, like our apartment, the tax is:
€9.50 per person per night
It was raised by the City Council with resolution no. 1418 of 2025 (previously €6.30) and confirmed after the rate revision in force from 1 April 2026. For hotels the amount depends on the star rating.
The main rules
- Maximum 14 nights: you pay for the first 14 consecutive nights, then no more.
- Under-18s: exempt.
- Paid at the accommodation: the host collects it and pays it to the city.
Who is exempt
The City of Milan’s regulations provide several exemptions. The main ones for travellers:
- under-18s;
- relatives or companions assisting a person admitted to a healthcare facility in the Province of Milan, for the length of the admission;
- patients receiving post-discharge care at local facilities, and their companion;
- people with disabilities and their companion;
- residents of the City of Milan.
Health-related exemptions require a self-declaration under DPR 445/2000, which we’ll ask you for before arrival. If you’re coming to Milan for a hospital stay, see also our guides for Galeazzi Hospital and Columbus Clinic.
