À propos de cet audio

 We've talked about Carnevale and touched on aspects of visiting Venice, but until now, we didn't have dedicated episodes about the essential need-to-knows of visiting Venice. So this is it! In this episode we talk about the neighborhoods in Venice from our perspective and what area might best suit you. We also talk about neighboring Mestre (a popular and less expensive alternative for staying while visiting Venice) and surrounding islands. Finally we'll explain how to get there and the basics of getting around via vaporetto (ferry/water-bus) and by walking. Below are some of the links we mentioned to hotels, timetables, and more. Any link with an asterisk (*) is an affiliate link. Even though we don't represent the company, we receive a small commission if you use the link to book your stay. We mentioned the hotel we stayed at in Venice between the Ponte Realto and Piazza San Marco which is the "Graspo de Ua".*Another hotel that we've heard amazing things about is the "Hotel ai Mori d'Oriente".* We also mentioned the super-swanky JW Marriott hotel* if you want to stay on this private island. And for the even more swanky, like, almost TOO swanky, we talked about the hotel on San Clemente.* For the map of the vaporetto, you can click here. The map is in Italian and English, and while it doesn't have a timetable, it allows you to plan out when a vaporetto will be helpful! The city of Venice charges an entry fee to tourists staying outside of Venice and coming into Venice for the day. Here is a link to dates when those fees apply: official Municipality of Venice website. That fee is €5 for booking the entry ahead of time and €10 for 3 days within the entry period or day of. More on this in our next headlines episode.Likewise, if you're thinking about taking the train into Venice, you can check out Omio* for tickets. They're an aggregate with an English-speaking help desk which can make any hiccups easier to solve.
