TravelCapybara manually reviewed the linked municipal, tax-authority and official tourism sources on 12 September 2026. Each row shows its own review date and links directly to the responsible authority. Additional tariff schedules, legislation and guest guidance are listed below. Rates stay in their original currency; no exchange-rate conversion or cross-currency ranking is applied.
This is an independent editorial comparison, not a government service or an automatic tax feed. We prioritize published tax-authority tariffs and municipal rules over older tourism summaries or draft proposals. Announced future rates are distinguished from rates currently in force. Each destination has one row; separate fee schemes retain their own rates, statuses and sources within it. Ranges summarize published categories. They do not include every exemption, booking exception or other charge on a hotel bill. Confirm the applicable amount with your accommodation or the authority for your dates.
