Don't Write Off Venice! 🇮🇹

A trip to Italy isn't complete without considering Venice. However, a quick online search might scare you away with warnings to avoid this iconic city. The main reasons cited are:

  • 😖 Smell
  • 💰 High Costs

Addressing the Smell Issue

I visited Venice during beautiful weather, and the water wasn't flooding the streets. Consequently, there was absolutely no bad smell, not even a hint of the sea. I even tried to sniff around, but everything was perfectly clean.

Tips for a Pleasant Visit:

  • 🕰️ Choosing the right time to visit is crucial.
  • 🏨 Consider staying near Viale Station, just before entering the island. It can be around 500k VND/day cheaper.
  • 🧳 Avoid the hassle of dragging luggage up and down steps.
  • 🌊 If the weather is bad and the water level is high, it's best to avoid the island altogether.
  • 🚍 A bus from Venice Airport to the central station costs €12 one way or €22 round trip. Ticket machines are located right in the baggage claim area.

Navigating the Costs

Let's talk about the expenses associated with visiting Venice.

  • 🏠 Accommodation on the island costs around €130/night, which isn't excessively expensive.
  • 🍝 A plate of pasta costs around €15-20, a normal price in Europe. Only a few special restaurants are more expensive.
  • 🚆 You can reach the island by train or bus. Simply tap your credit card on the bus.
  • ⚠️ Don't try to avoid paying the fare! I saw a Russian tourist get caught and fined.
  • ⛴️ Gondola rides are very expensive, starting from €100. Take a walk around first and then decide if you want to take a ride.

Final Verdict: Is Venice Worth It?

Spending a day or two to see the floating city of Venice with your own eyes is definitely worth it! Plan accordingly, and you can have a fantastic experience.
