About us:
In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend's lists - but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, that’s kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.
After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew - and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

[@margueriteperry9302]

Venice has always been a very economical holiday for me. I go for around 4 days, rent an apartment, buy groceries from shops and the early morning boats that bright fresh fruit and vegetables to their piazza market stands and eat one or two meals in casa each day, walk, and catch traghetti (the functional, mostly standing, "ferry" boat gondole that locals use along the Grand Canal) for about 2 or 3 Euro, and only go out to eat or drink in local or establishments off of the well trodden tourist trails. I usually spend, with the rental shared with one or two others, about €30 to €50 per day in total. When I've been by myself, I've stayed in a nunnery to make the trip even cheaper, and keep my money for the galleries and museums.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

That is a great way to save money

[@casomai]

Sono una delle persone che hanno pulito uno degli alloggi di cui parli. Purtroppo devo ammettere che molti turisti non hanno rispettato né la città né il nostro lavoro. Solo sabato scorso ci hanno rotto una tenda della finestra ( presumibilmente appendendosi) e completamente divelto la porta dell' armadio di camera. Per non parlare della spazzatura ( una busta grande di tipo condominiale piena di bottiglie vuote di alcolici e superalcolici sono di solito la vostra spazzatura) . Abituatevi a fare la differenziata della spazzatura, perché noi dobbiamo metterci le mani per dividerla, altrimenti prendiamo la multa. E questo significa poco rispetto del nostro lavoro e del nostro tempo.

I'm in Venice at the moment, if you need to drop your bags at your Airbnb, then by all means do it. Many people still do and so did I. I visited St, Marcos Vasilicca yesterday and went to Doge's palace today, the experience was awesome. Every morning we have gone to Dolce Vita for awesome pastries for breakfast. We started our travels landing in Rome immediately went to Venice. Here's some advise, invest in a butt pillow for the loooong plain ride and for any long train rides. Get a European sim card and bring your European wall outlet and or adapters.

I have always found Italians lovely, helpful, and VERY courteous. I work at being respectful, and over the years have learned to get along in Italian, but even when I only knew Grazie and Buongiorno, they never failed to reciprocate. I usually rent an apartment, and I often receive little welcome gifts from the owners, and in turn I leave then a thank you gift. As for the Venetians or Veneziani, I LOVE chatting with them and getting to know them, and find the SO FRIENDLY, even in the most tourist trodden paths, they respond very well to anyone who makes an effort to treat them with respect and not as service (I saw an American in this feed refer to them as Venusians, but they are not from Venus, and call the locales "rude." I'd be rude too with tourist who did not know where they were or could not be bothered to learn). Fare una bella figura and sempre cortesia.

[@alexnexus8345]

Kind and Respectful, you will always be welcome!

[@MichelleISR]

Not sure. My experience was horrible in Venice: got shouted at very rudely twice. I am very polite and always greet in local language entering & leaving the establishment. I was refused to be served at a Bar/deli and fruit shop because I didn’t speak Italian. Not only refused but shouted at. After Venice, I travelled to Paris and despite not speaking French my polite Bonjour and smile was reciprocated by warm welcomes everywhere. I am traveling again to Venice for the art Biennale this year, hope it’s a different experience.

Grazie, all excellent tips. As a Canadian who stayed in Venice for the month of April 2022, I can confirm that these are things all tourists need to know. One DO I might add is to learn a few phrases in Italian, the basic please, thank you, good morning, where is the bathroom, how much does that cost? It is so appreciated when you at least try. I had a wonderful time living in Castelo like a local and going to places not many tourists take the time to see. Venice is enchanting, the history amazing and the people are wonderful. Yep, the food is pretty darn good too. Esplorare Venezia, trova i suoi tesori nascosti. Innamorarsi del suo fascino 💖

We’ve done St Marks and the Doges Palace on our first visit and have never felt the need to revisit them Went up the Campanile in St Marks at around 10 am one morning At that time on a February morning we didn’t have to queue but were fortunate with the weather so had a great view We found glass to be cheaper in Venice than Murano We certainly used the quieter local restaurants and have never had a bad meal in Venice For breakfast we would recommend the canal front bars for croissants and coffee Want to go back again now!

Why not stay on the islands?

Rent an apartment on Airbnb in Dorsoduro or Cannaregio away from the tourist hoards and Venice is quiet, gracious, and friendly. You can walk everywhere. Or spend a bit more and stay in the luxury of a converted convent with gardens. Why stay in a motel somewhere in the outskirts?

You can try the gondola traghetto that costs only €2.50 it is. It as romantic but it is good for photos

Thank you guys I wish I had watched your video before I went to Venice, its a beautiful & unique city so much to enjoy but yes going to the wrong restaurants or areas, you will be ripped off big time, look for no cover charge restaurants your bank account will thank me 😂

Thank you 🙏

I would like to add: don't miss out on drinking spritz, and for added Venice points, ask for the version with Select.

Hi! My wife, 13 year old twins and I will be traveling to Venice in July. We are arriving to VCE airport but would like to stay in Lido for both nights (visiting Venice one day). Is there a way to go to Lido directly when we arrive? We will be with all of our luggage (probably 4 carry ons and 2 larger suitcases). Thank you!

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Hello there, there is a direct ferry boat from the airport to Lido. It takes 59 minutes here is the map: www.alilaguna.it/linee/linea-blu

There is a storage place at the station

@mlee6092 we did not hear anything about canceling tours. So fare here in Italy nothing really happened

[@scaryboat]

I live in Venice and the shoe thing is also important because the streets can be dirty and dusty. This is the reason that I never wear open toe shoes. Even when I go to Lido, I wear regular shoes and switch to my flip flops when we get to the beach.

[@sgrouev7907]

Since you live there, how many times it flooded in 2023? Did the barrier system do any good?

[@TravelAddictsLife]

@sgrouev7907 last year it did not flood very much at all

[@scaryboat]

@@sgrouev7907 in 2023, Venice did not experience many high water incidents. I believe they only had to use the Mose one or two times. However, water in St. Mark's square is a regular occurrence so always be prepared for that.

Are there any good passes for Venice that allow you to skip the line or should I buy individual tickets.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Hello there, you can buy the Venezia Unica city pass but that doesn't have a skip the line privilege just the entry fee.

[@LouvuiLove]

Hi I’ve been twice to Venice but never alone. As a single female traveller would you say it’s safe for me both night and day and where do I buy a vapporetto pass please ☺️

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Venice is very safe, there is always people around. To buy the tickets you can use the kiosk at the train station or at any vaporetto stop

[@VampiraVonGhoulscout]

Are there any traditional Venetian foods that are suitable for vegetarians? Everything I find seems to be all seafood based 😭 I don't want to miss out.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

There are a few vegetarian options for sure, for example the typical raicchio of Venice that is prepared in several ways is delicious!

would you recommend visiting in December

In December is less busy and cheaper so yes

I am visiting Venice in May but I have a very bad pigeon phobia - are there places I should avoid?

There are not as many pigeons in Venice as they used to be. Just don’t go in the middle of the piazzas

Should I visit Chioggia or Mazzorbo?

[@TravelAddictsLife]

If you have time you should visit Chioggia

[@marionhaydon6579]

We will be spending 5 nights (4 full days) in winter. Any suggestions😊

[@marionhaydon6579]

I know you’ve already given me some good ideas.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

If you are spending 4 full days in Venice you will have a lot of time to see everything without rushing. You will also have time to visit some of the surrounding areas like Treviso where they make prosecco and do a prosecco tour: readysetitaly.com/prosecco/ or do a river boat tour to the stunning city of Padova: readysetitaly.com/padova/ let us know how you like it.

[@BlaineShire]

I am going next month and I am wondering how to get to the port? Unfortunately, I will be gone for a month and I need a lot of clothes I have 4 bags already. But I have hired a water taxi to get to Venice but now I am thinking since I arrive the day before the cruise should I stay near the port? I can still cancel the hotel and water taxi.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

There is a train from Santa Lucia to Marghera port that you can take to get to the port. You can also leave the bags at the depot in Santa Lucia and take them before boarding your cruise

[@BlaineShire]

@@TravelAddictsLife thanks guys! I wish I had thought about this earlier..

[@TravelAddictsLife]

@@TravelAddictsLife I have a water taxi booked from the airport right to my hotel so I guess I just have to leave the hotel and get Santa Luca the next day unless I find a hotel close to Santa Luca.

Just a side note: venetian baccalà (bacalà mantecato) is made with stoccafisso, i.e. dried cod, NOT salted cod!

When would be the best time to visit Venice with perfect weather and low amounts of tourists?

[@TravelAddictsLife]

October is an excellent month, also April can be very good

[@CALLMEGENESIS]

@@TravelAddictsLife thank you ❤️👍

[@janinejohnson5014]

I totally agree. I lived in Venice for a year and a half, and have been visiting for a month or two every year for the last 10 years. I come in early April and stay to late May, or September to beginning of November. I am in Venice now on a one month stay from mid-December to mid Jan because my good friend here had open heart surgery, and so I came early. The weather has been so cold, rainy, and foggy it's been hard to feel like exploring. Avoid summer here unless you are immune to hot, humid weather. Another "don't" is trying to pay with American currency. I once saw a couple from NY arguing with the owner of a small bar about why they should be able to pay for their diet Cokes, with American dollars. I was very embarrassed as I knew the owner personally. I ended up paying for their drinks as they did not have local currency. Also, don't stop dead on bridges to take a photo. There are likely people behind you who don't know you are going to stop suddenly. Move carefully to the side out of the way of foot traffic.

[@scaryboat]

One more thing I would add is that the locals already know that Venice is sinking and that sea levels are rising. They live with the reality everyday, and really don't want to to hear about it.

[@cmascia9906]

Spent 4 nights in Venice, in April 2023 , a magical city! Found many restaurants and cafe now owned and run by Chinese! Speaking Italian and making great espresso. Was a little surprising to see this as a first time visitor. We found many of the local Italians to be very rude and even borderline abusive to us as Americans. This also surprised me. The local Venusian people seem very unhappy! 😢 I suppose the tourism is difficult on them sometimes. The water does smell and it even looks dirty at times. All in all I think your videos helped us in Italy to navigate. We especially loved Rome and tried many of your suggestions. Thanks again for all the insight.

[@TravelAddictsLife]

Thank you for your feedback 😊we are really happy we were able to help

[@aBlueprint]

So you can't be Chinese and Italian too? For all you know they were born there.

[@margueriteperry9302]

Actually, seeing immigrants from Asia makes a great deal of sense, if you know history. Many young Chinese emigrated to Italy in the 1990s especially after Tiananmen Square, and then before and after Britain left Hong Kong in the 2000s. However, before that the exchange of goods between Italy and Asia goes back to the days of the Silk road and the travels of Marco Polo. They live in Italy, so of course they speak Italian. I have friends in Florence (where in the provincia, they number in the hundred of thousands) who own a couple Chinese restaurants in the centre. On the menu they have written the menu in Chinese, phonetically spelled in the Italian alphabet, and then descriptions in Italian. Something like Wonton is described as "Ravioli Cinese" and what is Chop Suey in America is described as "Spaghetti Cinese con verdure."

Is it safe to walk at night in Venice?

Yea it is

[@tonylarussa4046]

If my friend didn't pay my way I wouldn't have been able to afford Venice.

[@keala7175]

Go in the off season - cheaper and not crowded. I went in November and my hotel was only $100 a night.

[@margueriteperry9302]

The trick is to walk 2 minutes away from the tourist marked paths and avoid the tourist places in San Marco. The prices drop about 50 to 80 percent. I was there last before COVID and spent about €30-50 per day... Including accommodation. È il più semplice! Ë facilissimo!
