Visiting Venice for the first time This video is your one-stop guide to an unforgettable Venetian adventure! We're Rick and Andrea, travel enthusiasts living in Italy, and we're here to share all our Venice tips and tricks.
In this video, you'll learn:
-The best time to visit Venice: Skip the scorching summer crowds and high prices. Opt for mild weather and fewer tourists in early spring or late fall.
-How many days to spend in Venice: Three days is a good starting point to explore the city and nearby islands like Murano and Burano.
-How to get to Venice: We cover arrival by plane (including airport transportation options) and train, plus tips for getting around by Vaporetto (water bus) or taxi.
-Where to stay in Venice: Choose from lively areas near the action or quieter neighborhoods for a more relaxed vibe. We also discuss staying on the mainland for budget-conscious travelers.
-How to get around Venice: Explore Venice's charming canals by Vaporetto, walk the walkable city center, or take a gondola ride for a romantic touch.
-What to eat in Venice: Savor delicious seafood dishes, indulge in cicchetti (Venetian tapas), and enjoy local wines like Prosecco and Spritz.
Bonus Tip: Consider hiring a local guide to discover hidden gems and unique experiences you might miss on your own.

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.

You have so many great tips and it’s hard to find a non tourist trap restaurant- but a very small local restaurant- good for 2-3 people sit down is Osteria Al Cicheto for dinner- you can get Cicheto as a bite to eat with some wine for lunch it very close when getting off the train station, it’s the perfect 1st stop. Service is excellent- you can tell the service staff and the locals love one another. It’s fantastic to see.

Salve Andrea e Rick. I enjoy and appreciate your videos. I’m hoping to return to Venice and introduce my partner to its many wonderful attractions and sights. I’m looking for suggestions for things to do or see for someone who is returning for a second, third or more times. It sounds like you both have been many times. What do you look forward to when returning to a familiar city like Venice? Maybe an idea for a future video! The same question could be asked regarding places like Rome, Florence etc. Thanks again for your time and effort in producing these videos. La vostra amica canadese.

Thank you for all your wonderful, informative and interesting videos. I was wondering if you have some suggestions for the best place to get a gondola. I would to see mostly smaller picturesque canals and not run into a gondola traffic jam 😂

@TravelAddictsLife 22 күн бұрын

If you want more of an intimate gondola ride go to the Cannaregio district of Venice it will be much quieter

@jetski335 3 ай бұрын

Perfect timing! Love your videos, very informative! Are there any particular tours you recommend? I have found a couple of tours where a gondola ride is included. Also, for the vaporetto pass, is that a prepaid card? One more thing, I know this is not Venice related, but do you have any recommendations for a castle hotel in Florence? TIA! Btw, congrats on the invitation by the Italian Ministry of Tourism🎉

Thank you so much 😊 the Vaporetto card is a pass and you can use it as many times as you like. We don’t know any castle but we can do some research for you 😃

Ciao Andrea & Rick! Thank you for your tips! I'm planning to take the Alilaguna from VCE to Venice. Do they only take cash in the airport arrivals hall? Should we purchase tickets on Alilaguna's website before the trip? You recommended to buy a Vaporetto pass for our entire stay in the video, do you recommend buying the passes before the trip or after arrival in Venice? Is the official tourism website the only place to purchase the Vaporetto passes? Grazie mille.

@TravelAddictsLife 3 ай бұрын

Hello there, thank you for your comment 🙏we always like to buy tickets before we depart just to be ready, however for the vaporetto you can buy them whine you arrive in Veni at any of the automated kiosks. It is totally up to you.

Are you able to recommend the one that you've used? Thanks!
