Visitors to Amsterdam in the Netherlands will be charged Europe’s highest tourist tax from 2024 as the picturesque Dutch city is set to increase the levy on overnight stays from 7% to 12.5% in its ongoing fight against overtourism.

The tourist tax “will be further increased to fund the extra spending so that visitors make a bigger contribution to the city”, the City of Amsterdam said.
