So sorry! My next videos will be about all the places to avoid such as Torino, Trieste, and Ravenna.

Il turismo porta ricchezza e sviluppo, e non mi pare che Torino soffra (o soffrirà mai) del sovraturismo di Venezia, quindi ben venga la promozione della città.

@@Podzzy Sono pienamente d'accordo, però tieni conto che il suo commento era ironico.

@@HiddenItalyTravel Non so, non ne sarei così convinto.

Può darsi che io abbia torto.

That is quite a compliment! Thanks so much for the support!

@@HiddenItalyTravel I've already forwarded it to several friends who are travelling to Italy this fall -- Particularly the part about using the PosteItaliane Post Mart ATM at Post Offices. I never knew those machines DIDN'T CHARGE THE CUSTOMER A FEE. I shall NOW start looking for them as I travel through Europe. Again: MANY THANKS.

Thank you so much for watching and moreso for the reply. This was truly inspiring to read. I am so happy the trip was everything you wanted it to be. Also, thanks for the tip about Suso. It's now on my list!

I'm sl glad you found it helpful!

Thank you so much for watching! You can reach me at sal@venicerevealed.com. Stay tuned for more videos before your trip as I have some planned in the Veneto. Cheers, Sal.

@@HiddenItalyTravel Thank you!! Looking forward to watching your videos.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean you would take the Alilaguna vaporetto to the main island and then the water taxi from there to your hotel because the vaporetto doesn't get you close enough? I need more information to properly answer, but in general, it costs roughly 60 to 80 euro for a water taxi when you travel within Venice itself on a water taxi.

@@HiddenItalyTravel Yes you are correct. Thank you that explains it that it would be 60 to 80 euros to get from where the valpretto lets off to where we may be staying

That's a rough number. It depends on where your hotel is. Is your hotel in the lagoon or on the island itself?

@@HiddenItalyTravel on the island

Have fun!

Thanks for subscribing! My favorite town in the area of Venice is Bassano del Grappa. It's very charming with an old wooden covered bridge where people congregate and drink a local cocktail called the Mezzo e Mezzo. There is a free grappa museum which is interesting plus a few other museums to check out. The food is good, it's inexpensive, there are few tourists there, and it's easily reached by train from Venice. Hope that helps! Cheers.

Treviso.. Bassano del Grappa...

Hi Edmund and Kris. September weather is great because it's still quite warm without being scorching. The evenings are cool, too. THanks for your support!

I just looked it up and it looks lovely. It's one of the Borghi Più Belli d'Italia so with that rating you know it's going to be charming. Thanks for watching!

I had to look up Farindola because I had never heard of it, and it looks amazing as does the areas surrounding it. You will love it. And, if you look up some people you may be related to, you will be greeted with open arms. Enjoy your trip!

@@HiddenItalyTravel yeah it's a little teeny town in the mountains east of Rome. We've done some pretty good genealogy and might be able to come across some relatives.

I'm so glad you found it helpful! Reach out anytime if you ever have questions.

December is a good time to visit Venice

I'm so glad you found it helpful! Have a good time and come back and comment on how you liked Turin after your trip. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you

We will definitely be going back and will take your recommendation. Thanks for commenting!

You have to work that out with the driver.

I'm so glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your trip to Venice and thanks for watching!

@@HiddenItalyTravel What’s the best way to get back to Santa Lucia station from Murano? 🤩

@@rollie206 You could take the vaporetto number 3 that goes right to the train station. You can pick it up at a number of stops on Murano, but the stop that takes the least amount of time is the Murano Colonna since that's the jumping off point from the island that goes right to the train station.

@@HiddenItalyTravel I will make a note of that 😀 Thanks!

Zuppa inglese is truly thye most underrated Italian dessert. You've inspired me to make a trip to Emilia Romagna to find the best one there! Thanks for the comment!

@@HiddenItalyTravel Looking forward to that, funnily I had my best Zuppa Inglese in Milano, a dream, I always like it when the waiter appears with a trolly stacked with desserts, then you have to chose..what a treat.

Basically because locals are complaining about tourists taking joyrides on them. Many need them to get to work and end up waiting in line to take one. Also, as fun as the experience is, it isn't the same as taking a gondola ride through the quiet and romantic canals. However, maybe some people will read this and decide to see what the traghetto is all about. Anyway, thanks for watching and the comment!

@@HiddenItalyTravel Interesting insight. Venice seems to be struggling with the tourism monster, one they can't live with or without. Maybe they need locals only crossings similar to the Vapporetto access lanes. The city access certainly needs to more than 5 Euros if it's going to have any impact on reducing the day visitor numbers. We have 5 days there next week!

@@cakebabyman5090 Yes, it's one of those can't live with them can't live without them scenarios. It's still a great city to visit. Make sure you circle back and let me know how your trip went. 5 days is more than most people spend there so I'm curious to hear about your experience.

@@cakebabyman5090 ... lol All these talking about "reducing visitors" ... to end on... I am going there next week for 5 days ! hahaha well have a great time bothering the locals! Its is funny to me people who agrees on reducing visitor to Venice... except themselves! lol

I think a shortl crossing in a Traghetto is probably the best local experience one could have since... this is how the locals do it. by those standards looks like overpriced gondola rides may fall into "tourist traps" category. Thank you for asking the question cakebabyman!
