ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria and I’m an expat in Italy. I’ve moved here (almost) on a whim when my plans in Paris got ruined - without speaking the language and totally unprepared, but pretty sure this is gonna be an adventure of a lifetime! Moving to Italy has definitely had its ups and downs, but I love discovering Italian culture, Italian people and, of course, Italian food. Here I post regular travel vlogs, tips on expat life, moving to Italy, personal growth and self-esteem as an expat woman living abroad.

Love these unique and more down to earth recommendations. Totally forgot about Banksy. Definitely going to get a ticket to that roof terrace, seeing that ceiling painting that took 24 years to paint, and using all the water fountains to refill my bottle. 🤣 Thank you for the great tips, I'll be visiting with my mom this year, both our first time. Can't wait! 😊

I m Italian and I can easily say that if you want fo visit Venice with budget you can do it check cicchetti restaurant!!. Even for the night, for example you can stay in a 2 bedroom apartment with a friend in some apartment like Palazzina Trevigiana or Chiarano Home in Treviso near station and visit 2 city in a budget. Direct train every 15 minutes and location is very close to station like 10 minutes by walk. Great to spend 130 euro per night 65 per room, and have the kitchen to cook you fav meals.

[@arabnoura8382]

This video is superb! Thank You so much

[@renaissanceman8687]

Early January is also pretty quiet tourist wise, Christmas lights still up but some places do close in January so might struggle with some things. Yes pasticcerias are limited but Venice is more about the cicchetti and aperitivo, so search for Osterias when wandering about and go down all the side alleyways, you’ll be amazed what you’ll find. Venice is magical ❤️

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

So true, Venice is amazing all year round ❤️

Your videos are wonderful and informative and good reference for future trips to Italy. I spent the month of April in Venice after losing my credit card in Florence. I had almost 1000 euros cash that I had to live on for a month. My first purchase was a month long vaporetto pass, 145 euros that I felt was worth the expense. I was fortunate to have secured a lovely apartment in Castello for the month. I lived like a local. There were a few things I wanted to see and do that I would need to spend some money on, gifts for my granddaughter, plus shipping home, the opening of the Biennale, the Guggenheim, Alilaguna to the airport, so I just budgeted with the cash I had then walked, a lot, every day and saw sites. With the vap pass I got to go to Murano and Burano and Lido. My experiences eating out were limited but most enjoyable. There is just so much to see and places to explore that it was completely doable and I came home with 20 euros, the start to my saving for the next trip.

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

What an amazing story! I'm glad you still enjoyed your stay and didn't let that incident ruin the whole trip for you. Thanks a lot for sharing it, and hopefully you get to visit Italy again soon!

Thank you so much! If you're in Italy I'd absolutely recommend you to try out local language schools - my experience in one of them was truly fantastic. Otherwise, if you're looking for a language app, I can give you a link for a 20% discount at Utalk, which is a really great app and offers a huge variety of topics: uta.lk/dramaticallyexpatic It's an affiliate link, so it won't charge you anything extra while also supporting this channel :)

Headed to Venice in about 10 days. This was one of the most helpful videos I have watched

[@KaterinaFerrara]

The other reason why you want to use an ATM at a bank is because if that ATM decides to keep your card, you have no way of getting it back unless there’s a bank you can enter and talk to someone about the fact that the machine stole your card. This is also a reason why you want to get money out of the bank ATM during business hours if possible

[@Furtivo95]

Just across the sea and through the woods, is a bloody war that you think never could.

[@paulfreitag8267]

Ciao! Thank you for another great video and I hope that you are well considering all that is happening in your home country. I have heard that post-Covid, Venice is considering banning or limiting the huge cruise ships coming to the city. Have you heard this as well? Grazie, Paul in Firenze

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

Thank you so much ☺️ I've heard about it during the pandemic and various lockdowns, but I don't know if this restrictions still exists!

Hi, and thank you! Usually you can pay with card anywhere, but there are still some places in Venice that would not accept the card, so it might be better to have some cash with you as well

Excellent videos helping us plan our trip to Venice next year. We will be in Venice on 25 April for my wife's birthday. I have just read that it is Liberation Day and St Mark's day in Venice! Do you know if cafes/restaurants will be open?thank you

Was just there 2 weeks ago. 20 euro will not go very far during tourist season. Aperol spritz was 6 Euro....10 euro in Siena. Further south you go in Italy, cheaper it is.

[@DramaticallyExpatic]

It all depends on where you're looking! There are plenty of hidden places tourists don't know about and the prices there are much cheaper 😉 And of course it depends on whether you're ready to eat something on the go vs going to the restaurants, etc.. Hope you still enjoyed your trip!

[@evyf857]

Absolutely enjoyed your video with your great tips! I totally agree how expensive visiting Venice can be but still duable doing it and seeing beautiful sites without spending so much money! This city is really beautiful and unique but prices can discourage lots of people to visit it! Thank you for your great video!!

[@51tomtomtom]

Spritz exists far beyond Aperol ! There are ton's of others ........Spritz comes from German "spritzen" (spraying), means you can "spray" what ever you want to ........Cicchetti singular is Cicchetto ! Tell as well , that places with water-view are mostly expensive as places with touristy-outdoor-seating .......as following "the right hours" : lunch is around 1o'clock and dinner at 8 , all places outside of this are TOURIST-TRAPS

[@babeudoo]

Hi ! Are those eateries you mentioned accept credit cards? I am a budget tourist and really appreciate your advice.

traduci, per favore: qui c'è un equivoco importante, in Italia, e quindi anche nella mia città, Venezia, la cosa fondamentale non è visitare le strade, ma entrare a conoscere la nostra storia millenaria, la nostra arte e le testimonianze culturali. Chi entra nel nostro paese ne esce arricchito in sapienza. Ora, capisco perfettamente che per voi turisti low cost sia anche troppo culturale girare a piedi una città costruita sull' acqua. Infatti ho visto ben più di una persona fare foto persino dello scarico della spazzatura sulle barche, deve essere una cosa emozionante e culturalmente arricchente. Come ho visto persone mettersi nel bel mezzo dei ponti a intralciare il traffico pedonale, per farsi le foto, ignorando completamente che è come sedersi nel bel mezzo di un incrocio con semaforo. Io mi auguro che i turisti vengano qui non pensando di essere a Disneyland, ma in una città che ha costruito la storia dell' import- export con l' oriente, importandone anche cultura e arte. Sai che Casanova è fuggito dalle carceri passando dentro Palazzo Ducale? Sai cosa è un Doge? Sai cosa era la Repubblica della Serenissima? Hai mai sentito parlare di Biennale d' Arte? Sai come si fanno i lampadari di Murano? Io ho i miei dubbi. Hai pagato 20 euro per camminare in strada. Io lo faccio gratis, senza neanche girare video su KZbin. Ciao.

20 euro will cost you two-way transfer between airport and venice so no, for sure you need more than 20 euro.

Venezia, come tutte le città, è vissuta da cittadini, non girano solo turisti... E i cittadini non possono diventare poveri spendendo troppo, perciò basta girare e cercare e la città offre tantissimi luoghi dove mangiare la vera cucina veneziana, il buon vino veneto senza spendere cifre esagerate, inoltre in questi posti, troverai i prodotti veri, genuini, tipici non le cose modificate per turisti....

[@Nitrousedstang]

Just returned from Italy on October 18th, visited Venice for 4 days and Rome for 8 days. No, you cannot do Venice for only 20 euros, you'll want to go eat at different places, get cannolis, ice cream, museum tours. You can cheap by and get meats, cheeses for breakfast sandwiches, but 20 euros a day is very laughable. Btw, your looking at 87 American cents to 1 euro.
