Ciao a tutti! Sono a Venezia e cerco un posto dove bere un ottimo caffè. Avete qualche consiglio, magari un locale frequentato anche dai veneziani e non troppo turistico? Grazie!

Saremo a Venezia il 24 ottobre (manca pochissimo!): io, mia moglie, nostra amica, e nostra figlia. Abbiamo prenotato una guida per un "walking tour" nel pomeriggio e cerco suggerimenti su qualche cosa da fare o qualche luogo da visitare.

Abbiamo tutti già visto più volte la Basilica di San Marco e il palazzo ducale e ora vorremmo evitarli. A noi piacciono: l'arte e l'architettura, le chiese antiche (la più vechia, meglio è), edifici pubblici storici, tribunali, le biblioteche e forse un giardino pubblico. Abbiamo il guida solo per tre ore quindi ovviamente non riusceremo fare tutto! Grazie in anticipo.

Traveling Friday - Sunday

Arrive 11pm Friday & fly back 9pm Sunday.

Looking for recomedations on what to do. Staying in San Marco.

I would like to go on a gondela, visit Burano and of course eat as much pasta as possible.

Does anyone have recomendations for gondelas and trips to Burano.

I plan on taking the boat to venice on arrival. Is that the best option or shall I look at other means of getting to the hotel?

Any other recomendations on what to see would be appriciated.

Mi dovrò trasferire per lavoro con trasferte prolungate in zona San Marco. Dove posso trovare una palestra sufficientemente attrezzata per wheightlifting? Sapete indicarmi una struttura in zona?
Grazie

Salve! I have lived in 2 apartments in the Mestre region before moving into my current apartment (and I now have an 18 month contract). The smell in the current bathroom is unbearable. I have used drain clog remover, vinegar with baking soda and I'm now burning incense in the bathroom. It seems to be coming from either the toilet, bidet or the shower so I have just been treating all of them - the smell still doesn't go away. Any advice??? I moved here alone from the states and I don't feel comfortable with my new friends yet to ask them to come over and help me. HELP please

Hello!

I am eloping in Venice on December 12th, and I am so excited. We are eloping on San Giorgio, but we will be staying on main Venice for 2 nights. Our ceremony ends at 1:00 PM (13:00), so we'll have all evening to explore.

After the ceremony, my husband and I would like to go to a great restaurant. I have a very severe seafood allergy and understand seafood is the main cuisine in Venice. My husband and I love steak and all other meats, pastas, etc. I am an adventurous eater and will try anything as long as I'm not allergic to it.

No budget. Please send me some recommendations as I'd love to make reservations. I'll definitely call ahead as well to ensure the restaurant can accommodate the food allergy. Thank you! :)

Sicilian student in venice for bienale where do you get good pasta without hearing american tourist all the time, tasty and good price?

We were waiting at the Venice station when a beggar with a dog approached us and asked us for money. I’ve usually been warned off about scammers and pick pockets so i immediately said “No sorry”
The beggar gave me a death stare and called us “bitches” and passed by us. He returned again and called us “shits” while passing by us again.
Is this common? Or did we actually do wrong by not giving him money? How much does someone usually give a beggar?

Ciao a tutti!

Sono uno studente francese e l'anno scorso ho avuto la fortuna di fare l'Erasmus a Venezia !! Una delle foto che ho scattato in città è stata selezionata per la finale di un concorso fotografico dedicato agli studenti Erasmus!

Venezia mi ha lasciato dei ricordi bellissimi, quindi mi farebbe davvero piacere ricevere un po' di supporto proprio da questa community.

Se avete 10 secondi, vi sarei molto grato se votaste la foto n. 1 nel modulo qui sotto!

Grazie mille a tutti per il supporto! Un saluto dalla Francia a tutti i veneziani!

Ciao a tutti. Cerco in affitto in provincia di Venezia (anche in Treviso) la fossa di ispezione (oppure ponte, o entrambi) per poter riparare la mia auto.

Sarei grato a chiunque potesse darmi qualche informazione in merito.

Hi everyone! My partner and I are visiting Venice for the first time from 28–30 December 2026, coming from Rome.

We’d love a central, walkable location with restaurants and cafés nearby, and a nice atmosphere for wandering in the evenings. Since we only have two nights, location and convenience are quite important to us.

We’ve been looking at the following hotels (quite a long list, so we’d really appreciate help narrowing it down!):

• All’Angelo Art Hotel
• Colombina Hotel
• Venezia Palazzo Barocci
• Hotel A La Commedia
• Ca’Pisani Hotel
• Carnival Palace
• H10 Palazzo Canova
• Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel
• Hotel Canal Grande
• Palazzo Veneziano
• Hotel Antiche Figure
• Ai Mori d’Oriente Hotel
• Hotel Indigo Venice – Sant’Elena by IHG
• NH Collection Venezia Murano Villa
• The Venice Times Hotel, Vignette Collection by IHG
• Hyatt Centric Murano Venice
• Hotel Moresco
• Papadopoli Hotel Venezia – MGallery Collection
• Hotel Donà Palace
• Santa Croce Boutique Hotel
• Hotel Olimpia Venice, BW Signature Collection

Which would be your top two or three for a first visit, and why? If you’ve stayed at any, I’d love to hear about the rooms, service and surrounding area.

Also open to other hotel suggestions. Thanks in advance :)

This is my first solo international trip, i’ve been to a few places in the uk alone and i enjoyed it. I am 26F, i’m just trying to be prepared to make the most of it as it is only 2 days and just 1 night stay, i will be traveling from the uk. Is there anything i need to know? I am aware of tourist scams i think and the boats, i will be researching more of this ahead of my trip. I’m also hoping to see the high tides.
Also, Could anyone also tell me what clothes to pack for the weather, and whether I'll be fine with just English?

Hi we are visiting Venice on Xmas eve and xmas day. My 16 year old son would really love to try cicchetti. Do you have any recommendations for bacari that would be open on Xmas eve (particularly in the evening) or maybe even Xmas day? I know I need to make reservations for lunch and dinner early for both days - are there any restaurants anyone would recommend?

the materials are all legit. it’s authentic wood and metal from what I can tell. I can tell it’s 30 years old minimum.
