MY TIPS; 1) find an airbnb in the Cannaregio, away from most tourists. Don't stay on mainland, it would be waste not to enjoy Venice in the early mornings or late at night, when most tourists have left. 2) Get a day pass for the use of the water boat and... A) from the F.te Nove "C" stop up north visit for (half) daytrips Burano, Murano, and Torcello. Leave early morning to avoid groups. B) about these three famous destinations, if you want to find decent food, I recommend to find it on your first island stop: Burano. Farther than that it becomes too expensive and average food is served. C) visit the Giudecca and enjoy the view/walk. D) visit the Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore and enjoy the view of St Marco square from tower (small fee) 3) visit the Castello area if you don't like crowds. Basically avoid the center. The best restaurant I found from my trip is called 6342 a le Tole. Trust me on that one. 4) don't bring big luggage otherwise you'll have to use a taxi. Streets are narrow with lots of bridges and steps.
Here is a good tip, if you sleep in Venice, do wake up early before the tourist boats and go to the street and the fish market when only locals do the shopping. Have an espresso with the locals. Around 8.30-9.00 am streets start filling up immensely with tourists, but before that you will be surprised by how different dynamics the Venice can have.
6. Avoid the main route leading from the train station across the Rialto bridge to Piazza San Marco. It's crowded with day trippers, and lined with tacky gift shops and overpriced restaurants. 7. Avoid the peak season. And do stroll around late at night or very early in the morning. One winter night a friend and I found ourselves absolutely alone on San Marco square, with only two old men singing old Italian songs. That picture book Venice is still out there, but not in August at 3pm. 8. Don't get burgers at Burger King and sit down at Piazza San Marco to eat them. Not only is it rude, but you can actually get fined for this. 9. Do go out of your way to get out of the way, when Venetians want to get through. Especially if they are carrying groceries. The supermarkets are pretty far apart, because there are so few residents left. And those few residents are the only reason why this town doesn't yet feel like the Venetian Las Vegas Resort. 10/1: I agree, you will get lost. And you should get lost. It's one of the prettiest things to do there. You'll never walk too far to never get back, and you won't walk into a bad neighborhood because there is none.
Because the other cafes that surround the Piazza lease out the areas adjacent to their establishments. You could sit out in the middle and share with the pigeons...
I went in December. It was a little quieter. It was amazing to see the staggering amount of wealth. Toddlers in full-length mink coats, hats, and muffs. I felt so out of place in my plain, black, wool coat.
Thanks so much for your helpful guides! We have travelled across Europe from Copenhagen to Amsterdam to Rome, next up Venice and Florence and have enjoyed your tips and advice immensely. Just having that little bit of 'insider' knowledge is a real comfort. Keep it up guys!
Venice is lots of fun! You have to take a boat from the airport to the city, which is both fun and annoying at the same time :-/ Also, instead of buses, taxis, and subways, they have bus-boats, lol. One thing Walter didn't mention which is *_VERY_* important: use the toilet before you leave your hotel cuz the only kind of public toilet you'll find are those holes in the floor, ugh!
That's to offset the cost of the salaries of the city or establishment employees who keep them clean. There is usually an attendant sitting at a table at the entrance. Very commonly seen in restaurants as well throughout Europe.
So very much have enjoyed your videos on Barcelona - we had an awesome time there thanks to your tips! We just finished watching your Venice video - we are there the end of May and will take on board your advice and tips - can’t wait and thanks for giving us the heads up on do’s and more importantly, the don’ts! Thanks so much!
Great tips! Partner and I were in Venice just 2 weeks ago for 2 days and it was awesome! We did get lost but enjoyed walking through the maze-like streets and exploring different parts of the island.
That’s so funny that you mentioned Orlando because that’s where I live and it’s exactly like that with the restaurants. In Disney springs you may luck out and get good food and service but you definitely have to go to local places for the best experience. Thanks for the video!
The best time to visit Venice is at night! I visited in May and spent whole night walking around with my friend (btw both girls) - it's a ghost town! We saw less than 10 people the whole night. Plus it's amazing to watch the sunrise and enjoy early morning when locals come out for their daily duties. After this I hated being there during the day, having to push through tourists with elbows.
I’ve Been planning a second honey moon in Italy over the last month trying to figure out all the details and where we should go. We are coming from the Philadelphia area. I just gotta thank you for putting out all these videos. It’s been a HUGE HELP. Have you ever traveled to Sicily ? If so what is your favorite area to stay/see?
Hi Mark. Had a wonderful 4 days in Venice just last week during our family holiday to Europe. What a wonderful place it is! getting lost (and we did!) is so much fun! we're leaving Metz, France this morning and on our way to Paris for 5 days now!
3:31 Great Churches? "...and some of the religious ones? " Funny Mark! Love your series, and thank you for all the great info! Our trip to Europe next month will be MUCH better with the insight you're videos have provided! Grazie mille!
Venice with rain is better than in summer sun. It's so hot there! Oh yeah, if you go off the main routes, you can find some local restaurants. Great for families!
Lovely I am going back tomorrow 🙏🏻❤️ , after one month. Because Coronavirus Venice is most beautiful then ever , just few people , all clean and wonderful ❤️🙏🏻 🇮🇹 I can not wait 🤗. Thanks for the tips Mark.
I have been to Venice 5 times and I can not wait to go back,it is my favourite place to take a holiday in the world,i always stay on the island of Lido which is stunning and has a great range of accomadation and a great long beach and it is much quieter than Venice but is only 15 minutes away by the vaperetto boat which as a 24 hour service and you can also get to and from San marco airport by a boat service which only takes about 45 minutes.
I was fortunate enough to visit Venice in 2014, and I miss it so much. :( I really hope I can visit again someday to do and see even more. Thank you for the tips!
Thanks for the tips. Going back to Venice this summer. Last time I was there, I did not enjoy or appreciate it very much because it was raining, flooded, and I was walking on planks. I ate at a restaurant as well...and the food wasn’t that great. I will be staying there longer this time around and can’t wait to explore the islands (including Murano, Burano, and Torcello) a little more. Any restaurant suggestions?
The water buses are somewhat expensive / crowded , but run to time. Tip : if you're there for several days get a multi-day waterbus ticket (multiple uses, gets you anywhere). The water taxis (NB taxis not waterbuses) are VERY expensive - be prepared. Despite many "features" of over-crowded Venice, I still love it and try to get there once a year.
make sure to contact the hotel and find out which stop on the vaporetto. I stayed in Castello. the Orange line (Arancia). took me right to the stop at the Rialto bridge. I still got lost. after I found my hotel , it became easier to find everything because I had a frame of reference. Find the train station you can take a day trip to Padua or Verona.
Hey Mark great videos dude! I love them all!! By the way next time that you and your family come to Italy, don't forget to stop in the picturesque city of Perugia, Umbria. My family and I run a B&B just outside the city centre, in a super location with unforgettable views. You and your family are invited to spend your holidays here ;)
There are some very nice agriturismos in the area, as well.. working farm B&Bs.. Often times, the farm part grows a product that is also for sale...like prosecco.
Also, don't forget that you can stay in a hotel on the mainland. There is a train that will get you right into the main square. Also for eating, I suppose it is easier to find better food on the mainland.
We stayed on a island called lido at the hotel villa Laguna right next to water taxi 5 minutes away on the vaporetto. A lot better than paying ridiculous prices to stay in Venice.
I can recommend staying at the Lido, we have been there in a small B&B called La Perla for way less than it would cost on the main island and it was 20min away from Piazza San Marco. It's also less crowded on the Lido and the restaurants serve good food for normal (not cheap) prices. Also I think the gondola ride for like 50-100€ compared to a vaporetto ride for some Euros through the Canal Grande is not worth it.
Ehy Wolters! Go, the next time in Italy, go "Bergamo Alta". It's only 45 minutes from Milan and it's amazing, much better than Milan! Also go to Sirmione!
We are going to Europe for the first time and will visit Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, and UK. Would you recommend a Global pass for traveling from country to country? And does this pass cover the buses as well?
Thank you for explaining #3. I was looking forward to having real Italian food and telling my partner that the food in Italy is amazing. Needless to say, I was disappointed when we ate in Venice. I agree that there was some good food out there, but nothing like the o-m-f-g-this-food-is-like-eating-heaven experience like in other parts of Italy.
Hi ... I always enjoy ur videos ... very informative.... I m traveling in this Oct end .. what kind of whether it will be that time .... also any tips where to have good food ...
Given the restaurants' frequent failings, what about "eating in," when visiting Venice? is it realistic to learn to cook for yourself a little there, and find a place with a kitchenette? What's it like to SHOP for food there?
I just subscribed to your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. I'm taking a trip to Europe soon and I'm having a hard time trying to choose between Paris, France or Rome, Italy. Which of the two would you recommend? Anyone else reading this feel free to answer. Thanks!
Hi Wolter, a good app to have on your phone is MAPS.ME. You can use this app without having any WiFi whatsoever, you just need to have your 'location' on. it will tell you exactly where you are in any country, considering you download the country in the app itself. just like Google Maps. But offline great app.
Hi Mark I will be visiting Venice 3 days it's my second time it's one of my favourite places and I heard Lake Garda is a hour away is it worth doing a day trip thoughts or tips ?
Wear comfortable shoes because you will get wonderfully lost and will be walking a lot on the hard stone paths. I learnt the hard way! And flats don't cut it!
I personally don't like Venice. Been there once, and I don't think I am going back again. As you said, too many tourists, the most humid environment you can hardly breathe especially during the summer, and very high prices for what you get. If you are in this area, try Verona instead.
Espresso Price specials in Italy Edit Price "al banco": In Italy, the local community has the maximum price of an espresso at the bar ("al banco": "standing" at the counter). This amounts to a maximum of one euro in all of Italy. Price "coperto": A service fee ("coperto") is only added when you sit your espresso while sitting at the table, and in some places of interest such as in the Piazza San Marco you may find an expected obelus for the livemusic. Voluntary social prize Sospeso (Italian extravagant) Espresso with social added value so an espresso for a good cause. The Sospeso is founded in the Neapolitan tradition of helping. If you had a successful day or just want to make a social contribution you drink a sospeso, you drink an espresso and pay two. If you can not afford an espresso yourself, you can ask for this "revoked" and drink it for free. People who are ill are able to participate in social life.
Florence and Cinque Terre!! Loved both of these. Sienna is lovely and Rome is a whirlwind. Out of all the places though, if i went back, I'd stay 4-5 days in Florence and then another 4-5 Cinque Terre.
4,000 tourists per resident? WOW! No wonder I read that some Venetians actually want to limit the number of tourists allowed. Maybe one day people will have to book a trip to the city the way we book entrance into certain other venues.
Saved by Grace Its not true. 4 000 tourisrs per residents? You say that there are 800 000 000 tourists there? Thats like the whole population of Europe
Saved by Grace Venice has à population of 250 000 people. That means that 100 000 000 people go to Venice. If its true its crazy how much tourists there are there.
Venice is everything they say about it: over-crowded, over-priced, and totally wonderful. It's definitely worth the hassles.
MY TIPS;
1) find an airbnb in the Cannaregio, away from most tourists. Don't stay on mainland, it would be waste not to enjoy Venice in the early mornings or late at night, when most tourists have left.
2) Get a day pass for the use of the water boat and...

3) visit the Castello area if you don't like crowds. Basically avoid the center. The best restaurant I found from my trip is called 6342 a le Tole. Trust me on that one.
4) don't bring big luggage otherwise you'll have to use a taxi. Streets are narrow with lots of bridges and steps.
i guess I'm quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Warren Logan Flixportal =)
@Conner Jairo Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !!
@Warren Logan happy to help :D

Take a look at a real estate site for Venice. 5-10 million euro properties abound
Daddy's a gondolier.
It was 70 and sunny everyday for me and my wife. This place is perfect. Better than I expected, and I expected it to be great.
Thanks so much for your helpful guides! We have travelled across Europe from Copenhagen to Amsterdam to Rome, next up Venice and Florence and have enjoyed your tips and advice immensely. Just having that little bit of 'insider' knowledge is a real comfort. Keep it up guys!
We're sitting at the airport, waiting to fly to Italy as I type this! So exciting!
Kanyon Bickel Wow!! You're probably on the plane right now. I'm just at home overdosing on snacks...
Comment Scroller You'd be correct! Takeoff in 10 minutes!
Kanyon Bickel have a great time! it's beautiful there!
How is it there?
Swazzer Cool Unbelievable! I'm still here and I'm already dying to come back!
Great tips for visiting, we have a tripped booked in October and can't wait!
Venice is lots of fun! You have to take a boat from the airport to the city, which is both fun and annoying at the same time :-/

Thanks for the heads up
How do you book the boat/bus from airport to city?
When I went to Venice a few weeks ago, there were public toilets there, but they cost one euro fifty to use.
That's to offset the cost of the salaries of the city or establishment employees who keep them clean. There is usually an attendant sitting at a table at the entrance. Very commonly seen in restaurants as well throughout Europe.
@@bradthompsonuk2011 You never see that set-up in Ireland though (which is obviously in Europe).
I loved Venice. Had two great meals there - and I've traveled all over Italy.
So very much have enjoyed your videos on Barcelona - we had an awesome time there thanks to your tips!
We just finished watching your Venice video - we are there the end of May and will take on board your advice and tips - can’t wait and thanks for giving us the heads up on do’s and more importantly, the don’ts!

Love your videos. Wife and I are making our first trip to Europe this summer. Your videos have given me a wealth of good information.
Thank you for this video!! Going to Venice later this year and this has helped a lot in what to expect and tips!
All your videos are great!

Oh yeah, if you go off the main routes, you can find some local restaurants. Great for families!
When I got lost there I ended up finding the Jazz Club 900 Pizzeria. Pretty good food and nice atmosphere.
Lovely I am going back tomorrow 🙏🏻❤️ , after one month. Because Coronavirus Venice is most beautiful then ever , just few people , all clean and wonderful ❤️🙏🏻 🇮🇹 I can not wait 🤗. Thanks for the tips Mark.

Venice can be very cheap if u know where to go... anyway there are different prices between tourists and locals😉
I was fortunate enough to visit Venice in 2014, and I miss it so much. :( I really hope I can visit again someday to do and see even more. Thank you for the tips!
Definitely use the vaporetto! That in itself is an authentic Venetian experience. Also, Burano and Torcello islands are a must!
Might be off the topic but I'm glad and like to see those ads on your channel :)
Your tips are always awesome, we really enjoyed our trip to Venice! Just uploaded a video on it of snippets of our two days there :)
Thanks for the tips. Going back to Venice this summer. Last time I was there, I did not enjoy or appreciate it very much because it was raining, flooded, and I was walking on planks.

thank you for sharing, take care.
Couldn't be a better time for this video! Will be heading to Italy soon! :D
In Venice June 15 for a few days and can't wait! Watched so many videos on what to do and where to go! New vlog soon! Bernie in sydney
That sardine pasta sounds delicious!
That's a great picture of Jocelyn at 0:35. Bellissima!

The water taxis (NB taxis not waterbuses) are VERY expensive - be prepared. Despite many "features" of over-crowded Venice, I still love it and try to get there once a year.
Can you use the same tickets/passes on both the vaporetto and the people movers? Or are they seperate?
Sorry, what do you mean by "people movers" ?
make sure to contact the hotel and find out which stop on the vaporetto.
I stayed in Castello. the Orange line (Arancia). took me right to the stop at the Rialto bridge. I still got lost. after I found my hotel , it became easier to find everything because I had a frame of reference.
Find the train station you can take a day trip to Padua or Verona.

Wunderschöne historische hübsche Stadt
Great video!!! like!!!
Went there last month got lost was both fun and scary since we were on the other side of the island and had a hour to get back to St Lucia
I love your videos, but i love more your pictures guys are funny!
@Kanyon Bickel, I hope you have a great trip!

I don't know if you already have. But come to Ireland and take a road trip around the country. There are many beautiful places to see. :)
I have it's so Great! I want to live there!
Nice video
I saw them make glass today it was really cool
Check out my Venie vlog! ua-cam.com/video/y0s-2wo55Vk/v-deo.html
Nice tips!
Hi ... I always enjoy ur videos ... very informative.... I m traveling in this Oct end .. what kind of whether it will be that time .... also any tips where to have good food ...
Just got back last week , it was really beautiful but the water taxis were nightmares at times with the crowds
Given the restaurants' frequent failings, what about "eating in," when visiting Venice? is it realistic to learn to cook for yourself a little there, and find a place with a kitchenette? What's it like to SHOP for food there?
Going in December for two weeks :)
awh Venice looks so pretty.. Do you have any tips for Turin? Going there soon for my birthday woo!
great great gorgeus city
What places would you recommend going for a meal at around Venice or in Venice to get the real Italian food experience?
All i hear is Sardines. lol must be good !
I just subscribed to your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. I'm taking a trip to Europe soon and I'm having a hard time trying to choose between Paris, France or Rome, Italy. Which of the two would you recommend? Anyone else reading this feel free to answer. Thanks!

Are there actual gandola rides during winter? Was planning on visiting this December and really wanna go on a gondola ride (for posterity sake lol)
Hi Mark I will be visiting Venice 3 days it's my second time it's one of my favourite places and I heard Lake Garda is a hour away is it worth doing a day trip thoughts or tips ?
Hi,
What credit card do you recommend while in Europe # not annual fee# not transaction fee
I want to travel the world
yep especially those non turist places are best becouxse going to italy is very commercial ,better go africa asia and south america
ReD.NaX.NiMrOdElA 2 Venice is a bit overrated. Full of people and overpriced places. I wouldn't go back.
Venice is definitly a "most go". If you want to travel the world you have to see venice. It is à very uniqe city and not overrated at all.
Who doesn't
Loved Venice when were there a couple of weeks ago...I will agree with you that the food was crap compared to most of Europe.
Great shirt!
I've been there a week ago :D
Wear comfortable shoes because you will get wonderfully lost and will be walking a lot on the hard stone paths. I learnt the hard way! And flats don't cut it!
Love you mark
My tip for Venice is, go to the loo in any of the posh hotels, for FREE! As public loos cost 1,50 euros !!!
So in Orlando the food is more flavourful for Americans than it is for tourists?
you should visit six flags great adventure
I personally don't like Venice. Been there once, and I don't think I am going back again. As you said, too many tourists, the most humid environment you can hardly breathe especially during the summer, and very high prices for what you get. If you are in this area, try Verona instead.

I'm surprised you haven't done Japan in your videos.
I have been there
Do you have a video on hostels?
Bucket list numero uno
I live in Italy and Venice and over by the Air force base is my favorite! i live in sicily and its not that great
Breanna Grice awesome I'm coming to visit
Check out my Venie vlog! ua-cam.com/video/y0s-2wo55Vk/v-deo.html
Aviano and Vicenza are too well-kept secrets.
Hey, which 4 cities do you recommend us to visit ? We have like 12 days. And I figured 4 cities, 3 days each. What is your TOP 4 cities in Italy?
Florence and Cinque Terre!! Loved both of these. Sienna is lovely and Rome is a whirlwind. Out of all the places though, if i went back, I'd stay 4-5 days in Florence and then another 4-5 Cinque Terre.
Ravenna, has to be seen
Does the entire city sit over water?
do the gondola rides when it is raining it costs 1/4th the price
chris Vinci nobody wants to ride a gondola when its raining 😉
But you feel guilty for making the gondolier guide you through the canals in the rain, so you make it up with a higher tip!
4,000 tourists per resident? WOW! No wonder I read that some Venetians actually want to limit the number of tourists allowed.
Maybe one day people will have to book a trip to the city the way we book entrance into certain other venues.
Saved by Grace Its not true. 4 000 tourisrs per residents? You say that there are 800 000 000 tourists there? Thats like the whole population of Europe
SC, you're correct! He said the ratio was 20,000,000:50,000, which is 400:1 and not 4,000:1. But that's still massive.
Saved by Grace Venice has à population of 250 000 people. That means that 100 000 000 people go to Venice. If its true its crazy how much tourists there are there.
SC, he was referring to the population of the people who live in the historic old city, which is about 50k.
I never understood people who rate entire culture and food based off tourist traps. Anywhere in world you got to use bit common sense.
