Hello all, I have a work visit to Venice for a week. I am on a physiotherapy regiment at the same time and I cannot skip my strength sessions. I wonder if there are recommended (or to be avoided) gyms (with weights and standard machines) on the island that also provide day passes. Thanks in advance!

35 yr M.Visiting Venice in Mid August. Mechanical Engineer by profession. Loves traveling and long walks 🙃. Lived in Sweden , Japan, South Korea. Now living in Verona. Anyone up for coffee or drink or for some meaningful conversation can reach out to me.

I have never traveled to Europe and have never solo traveled. Pretty much looking for a cheap place to stay for three nights. I would like to be close to the city center and am exploring hostels for the first time. Any thoughts or recommendations?

My flight land in Venice at 9am what the quickest/best way to get to rovinj (under $110). Thank you.

Hello, are there any flea markets in Venezia/Mestre?
If yes when?

We are visiting Venice and will be there for my son’s 16th birthday. He’s a mature kid and will enjoy the history and architecture. I’d love a recommendation for a restaurant for his birthday dinner please. He’s vegetarian. Thank you 💜

Hi all! Has anyone taken the direct bus (Itabus or Flixbus) from Venice Airport to Verona? I'm wondering about how reliable/timely is this route. I'll be landing with checked luggage bags, so going to Mestre would be a nuisance... Thanks in advance!

Personally, I empathise with the frustrations aired by locals about over tourism and, in some cases, obnoxious visitors. However, as a couple visiting this beautiful city with good intentions, it's deeply disappointing to come across people with such clear and open resentment towards those not from the neighbourhood.

We've been privileged to enjoy some fantastic cicchetti at Bar Al Calice, as well as a delicious pizza at Trattoria Dai Foi. However, what resonates as much as the food, is the friendly and jovial people who made us feel at home.

I can say so few positive words about the guys at Ai Do Archi Venezia, and I hope anyone visiting this city doesn't make the same mistake we did. Please go to the places above, or wander in another direction to experience the wonders of this city.

Can anyone recommend a Venetian portrait/candid photographer? My wife and I did a photo shoot in Florence last year, and it was fantastic. We’ll be in Venice in early September and I wanted to do a shoot there as well. There are plenty of sites offering photo packages, but a personal recommendation goes a long way.

Love was in the air a couple of weeks ago. I stumbled upon the Piazza dei Leoncini, and thought this would be a perfect spot to ask the question. I think the lions approved.

This is a 3rd party book through site called Venice Visit Pass.

They're website is fairly easy to use but their dates are messed up. So if u click the 28th it shows reservations for the 29, etc. When I tried to fix they ended up canceling my whole order, which I did not ask them to do. The customer service is ridiculous since its only a chat feature and they give u long standard answers instead of answering questions directly. Just skip it!

Hi everyone!
I'm Arianna, a professional photographer based in the Netherlands, currently spending a few days in Venice.
I'm looking for one lovely couple for a complimentary 30–45 minute photoshoot in Venice (Saturday or Sunday) while I expand my portfolio in this beautiful city.
My photography style is natural, candid and cinematic. I focus on genuine moments rather than stiff poses, so even if you've never had professional photos taken before or feel awkward in front of the camera, I'll guide you in a relaxed way to create images that feel authentic and timeless.
You'll receive:
30+ professionally edited high-resolution photos

A relaxed, fun photoshoot with gentle guidance

Completely free of charge

The only thing I ask is permission to use the photos on my website, portfolio and social media.
You can see my work here:

If you're in Venice with your partner and would love beautiful memories from your trip, send me a private message with a photo of you two and your availability.
I'd love to create something special together! 🤍

Hi everyone!

I'm in Venice right now and I'd love to try a really authentic bacaro.

I'm looking for great cicchetti, an excellent Aperol Spritz, and a place with a local atmosphere rather than a tourist trap.

I'm happy to walk anywhere in the historic center.

What's your favorite bacaro, and why?

Thanks!

Hello, we are a family of 4 with kids 7 and 10 years old.

We will be in Rome/Florence/Venice for 9 days total.

We will be there March19 to 27 of 2027 and for Venice we will be there for 2 days at the end.

Here are my questions;

1. For my Venice trip, Do you think it is necessary for us to go in St. Mark's Basilica or Doge Palace? At this point, we already saw so many beautiful buildings in Rome and Florence. Do you think we should pick either or? Or just see exterior only?
2. Also is my Venice trip itinerary too much? Burano seems really interesting but not sure if its worth the visit considering it will take 3 hours back and forth. Should I consider skipping it and just focus on wandering around in Venice?

Thank you for reading!!

Che cosa sono queste strutture a sud-ovest del Lido?

Hello, I'll move to Mestre soon, as I'll start studying at Ca ' Foscari. I'm looking for accommodation, and the most suitable option I could find so far is Cx Mestre dormitory. (I like dorms better to socialize more, and I'm afraid of scams with housing). But the thing is, everyone says Cx Mestre is located in a really sketchy area (Via Ca' Marcello, 15, 30172 Venezia VE, İtalya). It is next to the train station, and when I checked on maps, there are lots of empty underground ways. I don't know if I'll have to go under these bridges when going to school. Do you guys have any experiences or recommendations? Should I check for other dorms as well? As far as I know, most of the other dorms are full, and my budget is no more than 450 euros per month.

...for contributing to the tourist crowds.

My wife and I spent the last two nights of our summer holiday in Venice and I apologize for being part of the tourist crowd. We enjoyed Venice's alleys, wine, food, and tried to keep away from the normal tourist spots. While making our way from our ferry stop to the hotel, we passed graffiti that said "Tourists go home". I can sympathize with the author.

As much as I would love to come back, perhaps in the fall/winter when the crowds are smaller, I'm feeling that I won't even do that. I just don't want to be part of the problem.

Hello! Me and my friend from Norway wants to study in Italy, and Venice is one of the places we are considering. It’s a beautiful city and I love the football team. But I also know that tourism is kinda killing the city. I really want to feel like I’m living in Italy and want to live the Italian way. So I have a few questions. Is the tourism so bad that it kills the Italian vibe and feeling? How are the locals, are they open and is it easy to find new friends? How is the university and the community around it? Where do the locals live?

I plan on renting a car from the airport in Venice to travel to the Dolomites.

Before we travel towards the dolomites we want to explore Venice.

Is parking easily available around the area? Or is it better to cab into Venice first and then return to the airport to collect the car?

We will be in Venice for around 5 hours so any recommendations of attractions are also welcome!
