Book a Covid-19 antigen test through the pharmacies.
At many pharmacies in the city of Venice, it is possible to book an antigen test at the test center at the San Tomà civic center.
You must go in person to the pharmacy with ID, your Italian/European health card (if you have one), and/or your Italian Tax code (if you have one).
The availability of a test will depend on the demand, but it is usually available within 24-48 hours. If you need an antigen test for travel this is a good option as it can be booked in advance.
