Everything Tourists Need to Know About Venice
If you’re thinking of visiting Italy’s 11th largest city on your next holiday, then here’s everything you need to know about the beautiful city.
Tip 1
“Touristy areas of Venice, such as San Marco and Rialto get very busy, especially in the height of the summer,” says Giuseppina Rabito, a travel expert from reviewbox.it, “so if these sights are high up on your to do list, make sure you visit them on times when they are less busy. For example, early mornings or late evenings.”
Our suggestion is to use the City of Venice’s tourist tool to predict how busy the city will be on the days you are planning to visit the main tourist attractions.
Tip 2
Speaking of business, find local eateries and restaurants which are off the beaten track. There’s a vast selection of places to eat impeccable Italian food in Venice, however the ones in the main touristy areas can sometimes get quite busy.
You’ll also save a lot of money if you choose places to eat which are out of the way. The food is still delicious and you get a little bit of a quieter and more relaxed experience.
Tip 3
Be wary of pickpockets and thieves. As with all major tourist cities, Venice is subject to pickpocketing. Make sure you’re always aware of your surroundings.
There are many ways in which you can ensure your safety and the safety of your possessions while you’re exploring the city. A good way to stay safe is to keep your possessions on your person at all times, don’t leave your bag unattended. Another good way to keep safe is to securely put away your money and valuables. And remember to leave your passport, and any money you don’t need during the day in the safe at your hotel.
