Tips and Tricks for Visiting Venice

Visiting Venice is not cheap, but when you know a few insider tricks, it can be much more affordable.

Purchase Ferry Tickets

A one-way ferry ticket is relatively affordable, and it is valid for 60 minutes. When you plan to use ferries and other public transit often, purchase an all-in-one 3-day travel pass.

Book a Centrally-Located Hotel

If you can, book a hotel room close to a water taxi pick up point, and you will be just a few minutes from local transportation as well as the main attractions.

Eat Like a Local

Some eateries cater to tourists, which mean higher prices. Eat like a local instead by visiting eateries that the residents frequent. Not only will you have cheaper prices, but the Italian food there is far more authentic.

Do Not Rely on Phone Apps

Smartphone apps and GPS will get you lost in the alleys and canals of Venice. Therefore, it is best if you purchase a printed map, and save time getting around rather than lose your way and waste time asking for directions.
