Our tips for Venice

  • Dig in. After a long day of Venice sightseeing, Cicheti, Venice’s version of tapas, is the perfect way to relax and comfortably dabble in Italy’s inventive cuisine. Tasting the city’s fresh lagoon seafood is also a must.
  • Get lost. This medieval city’s streets were thrown together with no clear rhyme or reason. Embrace the shambles and don’t fret if you get led astray, experiencing the dead ends and bridges to nowhere are all part of the fun in this city.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. Going for a long stroll is one of the best things to do in Venice. Seeing this city on foot is idyllic, so be sure to dress your feet for both style and comfort. A good pair of flat shoes will be your best friend when hopping on and off boats, too.
