Are you Visiting Venice for the first time? Your Stress-Free Guide for First-Time Visitors
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.

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🎉

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.

Hello! I have discovered your channel while preparing for our trip this coming September. We're only staying in Venice for 2 days - arriving from Rome on the first day and leaving by night train at 9pm the following day. You suggested getting a local tour guide at the end of this video. Are you able to recommend the one that you've used? Thanks!

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.

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.
Your video is very helpful and congrats! We are going to Venice tomorrow. Which local restaurants do you go? Do you have any links? Thanks

Thanks for a great video guys. Me and my husband are visiting Venice in July (for my birthday) and it's a Saturday (I know it's going to be crazy busy) we want to do a private gondola. Would you recommend we pre book this or are we ok to turn up on the day? If we should pre book, do you have a recommendation on which website or company we should use?
