Great job, thank you. Going this summer.
You do not have an annoying voice. It was a pleasure to listen to. Thanks so much for the video. It was awesome!! Very helpful.
I was just in Venice a week ago. Stayed closer to the train station and I think it was perfect to avoid having to drag luggage super far.
Ooh nice to hear you had a good experience staying in that area!! Hope you had a great time in Venice. Super jealous you were just there haha
@@HappytoWander haha. It was my first time and I had such a nice visit! I love Venice!
Thank you. I am going in September and just booked my hotel by the train station 😊
I just booked a short stay in Venice before hopping on a cruise. I also chose to stay in Santa Croce to drop of luggage and be close to train.
Excellent video that provides a lot of useful information.
Another option for accommodation is a tourist apartment. We stayed in an old building with the apartment at ground/water level. The bonus was a small outdoor patio area fronting on to one of the smaller canals. It was once a loading dock for the building. Our best memories were sitting out and relaxing on this dock with a glass of wine and being within arms length of the occasional gondola passing by.
One final tip is to get the vaporetto pass. We used it to visit Murano and Burano as well as many trips up and down the Grand Canal.
There is a little update about gondolas: the price for the 30 minutes normal tour is now 90€ and the evening tour costs 110€
Ahhh thanks so much for all the great info in this video! We just found you & are now fans!! So excited to follow along on more adventures!
Thank you for such an informative video. My family and I have been to Venice a few times and we still love getting lost and finding ourselves in the Real Venice with the locals. It's such an amazing city.. Everyone should explore Venice at least once in their life.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I love how much you love Venice haha. I feel like I’m also long overdue for a revisit. Hope we both make it back there soon :)
Hi, where do you recommend to stay? Thanks
Such a wonderful and informative video!!! Probably the best one I’ve seen!!! 😊
Tremendous video. Clearly highly polished, informative, and recommended to anyone traveling to Venice. Great work
Excellent & informative! Thank you!
Thank you for the tips and advice!
Wow ! So useful n helpful ! Comprehensive ! Thank you ❤
Your videos are so informative. I really enjoy the practical tips you share. Planning a 3 week long 25th anniversary trip to Italy with Venice as a stop!😍🇮🇹😍
thank you ! really pleasant to listen to you.
Excellent video -- very helpful and practical guide. Thank you.
The best part of being in Venice is getting lost. Its amazing what you find.
Great video ! Thanks ❤
Great tips!
I'm going Friday morning really excited nice break for me and the Mrs.
Excellent Thanks.
I visited Venice two days right after Easter April 2023. Venice was raining all day. The Gondola guests wore raincoats, not much for the pretty picture. Rialto bridge had professional trickers to attract you in gambling. The entire Italy has free drinking fountains but in considering that all of these pipes were rusted very bad, I wondered the inner pipes could not be better shape. The smaller museums were closed because of the off season, BTW. In short, early April trip advantage was less traffic and fees but the wet weather and more closed places. Foods: Tapas is the must try and Steak restaurant was supper.
Hi Christina, thank you for sharing. I'm planning on going to Italy in November. This video is great and will help me plan the trip. I will also read the comments below to learn more. Thank you again!!
Awesome!!!
Nice to see that Ryanair's Venice flights land in Italy.
Very helpful guide. Think I'll go for four nights.
Very useful video.
Going to Venezia this Feb! I accidentally got a hostel in the Mestre area instead of one in actual Venezia. But if I can't change it, I'll make do with this advice. Thanks so much!!
Excellent
Hi Christina, your videos and tips are so helpful. Question, would you recommend buying water taxi ticket ahead at of time with get your guide site? or buy when you arrive at venice airport? Thanks.
Oh my goodness! I have a trip to Italy, will be in Venice for 2 days and from the looks of these pictures I'm getting claustrophobic. Too many people! I appreciate the tips and information you've shared in this video. Thanks!
I have yet to see Venice been to Italy it's my favorite country I need to go because it's sinking I hear makes me sad beautiful city great tips😊
I hope you get to see it soon!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good sunrise tour and after-hour tour company?
Does anyone know about the luggage size on water buses/trains/ buses? She said pack light but we’ll be there for 11 days in Italy in total!!
@barrylenihan8032 what is the tourist apartment you stayed at? We’re going in July and are trying to find something like you described.
You forgot the most important thing: to ALWAYS walk on the right side. ALWAYS. People actually live, word and study there, and having tourists ruin your day by not letting you pass really sucks
OMG Even Americans in the USA walk down the street or an aisle in the supermarket on the left. So annoying!!! We aren’t in London, stay to the right!! 😅
FYI American schools work on that . 😊
a very informative video - I'm traveling to Venice alone later this year. Its gonna be tricky if google maps doesn't work well there
Hotel will provide the map. No worry!
wow!
Pigeons are not gross at all. They are in general a very healthy bird, not to mention one of the smartest birds that has successfully colonised pretty much everywhere on earth other than the poles.
Dear Happy to Wander, Thanks for your blogs on several places in Europe that I have watched in the last few weeks. I would like to ask for a favor but in the nicer way than the others posts that your speech was too fast. I felt the same way that I had hard time to catch up with you. I liked to watch more of your materials. I learned through the presentation program and customer service program that there will be a delay from the senders to the receivers especially via sound that the general public shall be able to receive the messages as intended. Would you mind to slower your speech a bit. I heard that we could program the video slower too. Thanks
The pigeons will thank you. Anyways incredibly informative video. Highly appreciate it.
Do you tip at restaurants?
No tipping in Italy in general
Water taxi now in 2024, I think it is 130 Euros. Do not remember, is that price per person, or for the full taxi itself ? For example 130.00 E for two people ? Been to Venice several times, but have used always the Alilaguna. I am returning this April. Compliments. Great video, well done
How did u like using the Alilaguna? Going in September. Water taxi from Marco Aiirport.
@@joesacco2004 The Alilaguna was find one more time. I looked at the water taxi but those are expensive and I had only three stops to my destination. It was OK, then. I will be returning to the airport as well with the same service.
Why is these countries appreciated even when they flood, are the same crazy crowded places however most Asian destinations are frowned upon when they actually have generous people.
Because these places are ACTUALLY beautiful
@@TurdBoi-tf5lf I think entire world is beautiful. Diff mis made by humans.
I live in Venice and the daily fee will never happen. They've been talking about it for years. There's no real way to enforce it.
Странная вещь произошла со мной в Венеции. Однажды ночью, когда я разговаривал с молодой женщиной у большого канала, из воды вырвалось голубое пламя, и из воды мне ухмыльнулось что-то вроде головы мертвеца. Меня это очень удивило, но дама сказала, что в Венеции это нормально. Вдруг из церкви Святого Марка прибежала большая собака с черепаховым панцирем на спине, и из ее пасти вышло синее пламя, дым и такая вонь, что проститутке лучше было попрощаться и пойти домой. Я был немного в ужасе, но все же некоторое время наблюдал за собакой, когда ее рог ударил меня в шею, потому что на самом деле это был бык, который пах просто черепахой. Было уже утро, когда полиция нашла меня с кровоточащей шеей. От меня ужасно пахло, как от черепахи, приготовленной с яйцами. Меня отвезли на станцию карабинеров, и там накормили черепашьим мясом, которое быстро приготовила добрая старушка, знающая свое дело в таких случаях. Полиция ничего не знала о собаке, но загадочный череп у воды является им почти каждую ночь. Старик пришел покормить ее, давая ей крошки, как птицам.
Nice video, and good to see all the tourist locations you visited. Shame about the grilled fish, the best Italian food is always very simple but that wasnt a good example. If you're producing these guidance videos for others to follow please can you pronounce the words in the correct language (this isnt Spain.) Thank you.
I didn't know the canal was that gross! LMAO i wonder if those idiots who decided to go surfing in it knew about this! 😂😂😂
That part of the video has not been true for a long time. Nowadays all buildings must have their own sewage system and they don't discharge grey waters in the canals anymore. It's still not a good idea to swim in the canals, but mostly because of the pollution generated by traffic.
To be honest with you” doesn’t have to be said.
I would subscribe, but you talk way too fast for me to understand.
There's captions and a setting to slow up video speed. It helps.
I am enjoying your video but I am curious why you keep saying "To be honest"? Aren't you being honest about everything you are saying?
Its just a saying mijo, calm down
