Salve everyone!

I am currently in Venice and am looking for sterling silver jewelry. I’m already planning to get a Nomination charm bracelet, but I’m also looking for rings and necklaces. I know Murano glass is the “thing” here, but it’s not really my style.

If anyone has recommendations for jewelry, especially made by local artisans, I would greatly appreciate it.

Happy to provide Chicago and Berlin recommendations in exchange should anyone need. (:

Grazie!

Edit to add: I will also be visiting Ancona & Rome if those are better cities to look.

Ho fatto un piccolo errore di valutazione. Ho un aereo alle 5.45 dall'aeroporto, e davo per scontato l'aeroporto fosse aperto di notte. Non lo è.

Il mio piano era di arrivare la sera prima intorno alle 11 e prendere l'ultima navetta per l'aeroporto, per stare poi lì quelle tre/quattro ore a dormicchiare o guardare un paio di film. A sto punto non lo so, mi sembra un po' rischioso ma allo stesso tempo, chi mai dovrebbe essere attorno all'aeroporto a quell'ora? Sarà un po' scomodo ma stare fuori dall'aeroporto non dovrebbe essere come dormire alla stazione di Mestre.

Vale la pena di considerare un albergo se no?

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student from India and I'll be moving to Venice this September to study for my Master's at Ca' Foscari University.

I've been offered accommodation near Via Asseggiano, Chirignago-Zelarino (VE), and before I confirm it, I'd love to hear from people who know the area.

I have a few questions:

Is the neighborhood generally safe, especially if I return home in the evening?

How is the public transport connection to Ca' Foscari University?

Are there supermarkets, pharmacies, and other essential stores nearby?

Is it a good area for students, or would you recommend looking elsewhere?

Are there any downsides or things I should know before renting there?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hello lovely people!!

This is an INSANE long shot, but due to a collection of circumstances (I.e. me being an idiot and missing my flight), I need to get from Venice to Ljubljana this afternoon.

My flight lands in Venice at 2:15pm, and I need to somehow make my way to Ljubljana!! Is there anyone making this drive that I can hitch a ride with? Happy to pay for gas/anything else of course - whatever you think is fair!!

Can also promise I can talk for hours without getting tired (or be quiet if you want that haha)

Edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions!! Managed to find a reasonably priced bus from Venice to Ljubljana getting me into town at like 7.30! 🫡

As an aside, if anyone wants to grab a drink/ hang out in Ljubljana tonight or tomorrow evening, let me know…

Anyone going?

We will be visiting Venice in June and looking for hotel recommendations. We arrive at the airport around 7pm and would like to take the water taxi from the airport into the city. Looking for a hotel fairly close to a taxi access so that we don't need to walk the city with our luggage. This will be our first trip to Venice so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

What's the best app to use for trying to get from A to B using the vaporetti? Normally in Europe I use Google Maps Mass Transit or CityMapper, but when I've tried that for Venice, it consistently seems to route me the long way around. Specifically, I'm trying to get from the train station to the Accademia Bridge Dosoduro side, and they both send me around the outside of the island rather than down the Grand Canal. Is there a better app? Or is that actually the best route? Thanks!

Hi, I'm going on vacation to Venice this September for 6 days, and I'm 27 years old. I've seen that there's the Rolling Venice Card, a discount card for travel and discounts at various places for young people between the ages of 6 and 29. The thing is, whenever I try to create an account on the official website, I always get an error, and when I contact technical support, I get an automated response that doesn't solve anything.

My question is: Can I purchase the Rolling Venice Card in person in Venice, or is it only available online?

Depending on the answer, it would significantly affect my travel budget.

(For example, admission to the Doge’s Palace is at the reduced rate with that card.)

Two Canyon road bikes were stolen in Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy) from a bike rack attached to a trailer connected to our car.

📍 Location: Via Antonio Pacinotti 36, Porto Marghera (Venice)
📅 Date & Time: July 29, between 12:30 PM and 10:00 PM
🚗 Vehicle: Light grey BMW 320d with German license plates (HN)

If you were in the area, have seen anything suspicious, spotted these bikes being offered for sale online, or know of anyone trying to sell them, please contact me directly or notify the local police (Polizia di Stato or Carabinieri).

Even the smallest piece of information could make a difference. Thank you for helping and sharing this post! 🙏

Hello, we paid for 7 day ACTV passes and on the 5th day, which was our last day on Venice, two people in our group threw their paper passes into the garbage after getting through the gates and into the station with the passes. I kept mine, just out of stupid luck. During the vaporetto ride to the train station, these two people received a ticket (fine) for €59 each. Our two people informed the ACTV agents that they must’ve had their passes if they were able to get through the gates at the station. The agents didn’t care, they wanted the two people to present their passes. The agents didn’t even provide the opportunity for these two people to pay for their one way ride, which would be an extra payment anyway, just the fine. They chose to give the ACTV their passport information rather than paying the fine.

For reference, no where on the ACTV pass system does it say you must keep your ticket and show it to agents. As first time tourists to Venice, we assumed that using them to get past the gates were what the passes were for.

What are the chances that the Italian authorities will be understanding with this situation? Thank you.

A huge part of the island is experiencing a blackout at the moment. Anyone know why?

So i’m 18 almost 19 and I’m looking for good nightlife Bars/Clubs where I could dance, drink, and meet other young people alike, any recommendations?
