The biggest reason to visit Turin- JUVENTUS !!!
I'm sure your channel will grow quickly. you're doing a great job. Good luck
Thanks so much for the support!
Very good ! Thank you ! Excellent !
Important tip is not to get rides from Venice's main square - gondoliers jack up the prices as they wish. Min we were offered was 120, then we got a 90 euro one, literally steps away from St. Marco.
Thank you so much for your videos! I've only watched two so far, but they both provide a ton of useful information, and the video quality is almost like that of travel channels. It's very enjoyable to see all those beautiful places and to listen to your narration, you can tell it's done by a professional.
Wow that is such a huge compliment! I'm so glad that you found the channel helpful.
I agree great work - very well done.
Don’t go. Venice is a huge tourist trap. Many of the things that made it charming are gone.
While there's no doubt that everything is geared toward tourists and there are many places that overcharge and underdeliver, I would never tell somebody not to go. Venice is unique and worth seeing. Plus, there are a lot of things to do there that may not be obvious if you didn't know about them. I plan to do many more Venice videos on how to beat the crowds and offbeat things to do. Thanks for sharing your opinion, but I respectfully disagree.
the mole antonelliana is also the tallest building in the world built without the use of reinforced concrete
there is also a second city connection network, the metropolitan railway system (SFM) which intersects with the metro... with 11 stops in the city and 62 stops outside the city... it is possible to take the train to reach the airport or the Venaria Royal Palace
Great tips, thank you!
Great Video. That helps a lot 😊 … I need to get from airport to Lido. The water bus blue line sounds for me the best option with fair price.
Great video! Clear, simple, and lots of good tips! Thank you!
Straightforward, great advice. Excellent video. Thank you!
I'm so happy you foung it helpful. Thanks for reaching out!
Thank you, this is very helpful!
I'm happy that it helped!
I go to Torino often since I’m a season ticket holder for Juventus. Definitely an underrated city and prefer to keep it that way. I’m buying property there soon since I’ll be retired soon so hopefully it don’t become trendy yet since houses are still cheap there.
Enjoy your retirement in that incredible city!
I’m going to Venice next week how can I book the water taxi ahead of time
You can go through this link here gyg.me/ALCDmjqP
Can you please NOT do videos like this? Please don't contribute to ruining this beautiful city with an over abundance of tourists. Let the tourists have Rome, Venice , Florence and Positano. Leave Torino alone.
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.
thanks so much for such a detailed video. I've been searching for weeks on a "how to" Venice video and THIS ONE IS THE BEST.
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.
Returned today at 5am from the trip to Turin. I have so much on my mind, I feel I can write an entire book about how magnificent this city is. The food, people, museums, all of Italy's culture is packed in one city. It was my first flight ever, and it was truly impactful to see giant mountains from above. The first shock when I landed there, was the heat, it was one of the hottest week of my life. I was used to 24-28C, but 38c was really far beyond that. Next thing was the food, spent so much money just to try new things, and it was really worth it, mostly bought from Mercato and In's. My favorite thing was Prosciutto pizza from 110 &Pizza, I work at restaurant and make pizzas too, for 10 months now, but pizzas there were the real deal, truly a thing you can call PIZZA. Also went to Cinema and Egypt museums. Egypt museum was a bit terrifying when I saw so many mummies, but experience was amazing, so many exhibits from so many different places. Cinema museum was my favorite, as a film and cinema enthusiast there were so many cool things to see and experience. Also I and my brother decided to travel to Susa (about one hour by train from Turin), one of the best decisions ever. The mountains were so amazing there. You could even see snow and clouds on top of the mountains which are between France and Italy, such an amazing sight to see. Also in Susa there is Roman Amphitheater, Arch of Augustus, (which was cool to see because my name is Augustus) and Park of Augustus, it was so peaceful there, perfect stop to take a break. I am really glad my first flight was to Turin, I will never forget this city.
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!
Another excellent and helpful video.
Clear, concise and calm. Just what we needed. Thanks
I'm sl glad you found it helpful!
Hi Sal, I came upon your recent video and loved it so I subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of them. I've been trying to narrow down the region Im going to be living in within a year and this helped me greatly. Also I couldn't find your email address. I clicked on submit but nothing happened. Coming into Italy in October and the Veneto region, small villages of course will be my top pick. Thank you! Linda
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.
Thanks for your information
Can you take a water taxi from where the val paretto leaves off to get to a hotel or Airbnb? What's an average cost for that
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
Thank you for the information, we are currently in Venice for few days and will definitely check it out.
Have fun!
Hi Sal I am subscribed to your channel. Any suggestions for one day trip from Venice other than murano, burano, padova, bologna and Verona?
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...
So good ! Thanks
Hi Sal, we are one of your subscribers. We are going to Venice this coming September, Just want ask what’s the weather and temperature during that month? Thanks - Edmon and Kris
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!
Very true stayed in Bugnara a small village in Abruzzo just outside Sulmona in June, fantastic holiday and food to die for at a very good prices 2euro a beer, 1euro a espresso, Sulmona market local produce was a real eye opener and very inexpensive, Pancetta rolls fantastic Trains in Italy are very clean and cheap way to travel
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!
My great grandparents immigrated from Farindola so that will be my first trip to italy. Not to mention I really don't like being a tourist and huge crowds like that, I believe it takes away from the experience.
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.
Great information! Looking forward for more videos!
Torino è bellissima
Really helpful video. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Reach out anytime if you ever have questions.
plan to visiot Venice in December...
December is a good time to visit Venice
Thank you! Great tips!
Agree on the ATM's...Euronet is terrible everywhere :(
Thank you so much for the video, it's perfect. Was looking what to do in Turin, because next week I and my brother will travel there for about a week.
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
I lived in Turin and I absolutely agree with everything you said. On top of the cultural and historical aspect, is remarkable the night life with a number of clubs, discos and bars where you can experience the "apericena" (the best expression of aperitif and dinner together). Have a look at the Reggia di Venaria just a few minutes outside the city. It deserves a visit!
We will definitely be going back and will take your recommendation. Thanks for commenting!
Also the hunting lodge at Stupinigi -and what a hunting lodge -more like Buckingham Palace!
Thank you for this video. Great information and presentation.
Can you tell me, do the shared taxis still drop you at your hotel if it is on a canal?
You have to work that out with the driver.
Great video with comprehensive, easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
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!
Very interesting El Beccherie - wow impressive, so you see that the other Tiramisu are just copies to find a way around the original, which seemingly has some secrets and not such easy to copy. Unfortunately Tiramisu or Panna cotta you find everywhere pushing other worthwhile Italians dolce into oblivion, like Zuppa Inglese.
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.
Grazie mille!..from Dickinson, N.D.
Why didn't you include the Traghetto as a cheap alternative?
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!
