Frequently asked questions
Is Venice expensive for meals?
Eating near tourist hotspots can be pricey, but local bacari bars offer cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and wine from around €2–5 per piece. Heading into Cannaregio or Castello neighbourhoods reveals excellent trattorias at much more reasonable prices.
Do I need to book Doge's Palace in advance?
Yes, pre-booking online is strongly recommended, especially in peak season, as queues can exceed two hours. Our package includes skip-the-line access as part of the guided tour.
How do I get around Venice?
Venice has no cars; transport is by foot or vaporetto (water bus). The ACTV vaporetto network is efficient and covers all six sestieri plus the islands, and day passes are cost-effective for multiple trips.
Is Venice suitable for travellers with mobility issues?
Venice has hundreds of footbridges with steps, which can be challenging for wheelchair users. The city council provides accessible routes, and water taxis can be booked with wheelchair-accessible boats.
What currency is used in Venice?
Italy uses the Euro (EUR). ATMs are widely available, and most restaurants and shops accept Visa and Mastercard, though some smaller bacari prefer cash.
