Aperol Spritz in Venice costs EUR 3.5–5 where residents buy it, and EUR 12–25 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 400% more at the top end, or about EUR 21.5 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in September 2026.
The gap here is a location gap, not a quality gap. Kitchens in Venice buy from the same suppliers; what changes is whether you are sitting somewhere with foot traffic worth paying for.
Treat EUR 5 as the ceiling for a fair price in Venice, with EUR 4 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at EUR 25 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
None of this is unique to Venice — it is how pricing works across most of Italy — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
