City: Venice

Venice, the capital of the Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, only canals, including the Grand Canal, lined with Gothic and Renaissance palaces. It is a city of impossible beauty, a labyrinth of alleys, bridges and squares that seems frozen in time. From its iconic gondolas to its dazzling art, Venice is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a testament to a glorious maritime history and a fragile world treasure.

Venetians are understandably exhausted by mass tourism. The interaction can be distant.

In less touristy neighborhoods like Cannaregio or Castello, people are more relaxed.They greatly appreciate attempts to speak Italian.
Service in tourist areas is often rushed and impersonal.There is a palpable tension between the tourist city and the residential city.

Tips for Gastronomy

Learn the 'Bacaro' ritual

The best way to eat cheap and well. Go to a 'bacaro' (wine bar), order an 'ombra' (small glass of wine) and choose some 'cicheti' (tapas) from the bar.

Avoid tourist menus

Be wary of restaurants with menus with photos or in 10 languages ​​on the main streets. Go a couple of streets away to find better quality and price.

Understand the 'Coperto'

Most restaurants charge a 'coperto' (cover charge) per person, which includes bread. It is legal and it is not the tip.
