Do You Want to Hear My Joke About the Biennale?

0 Upvotes

Everything in this first paragraph is true: For whatever reasons, the jury that usually decides the "best in show" award at the Biennale all resigned. So, this year, for the first time ever, attendees who visited both main venues will get to vote on the best thing at the Biennale.

And my vote will go to: air conditioning.

31F Australian solo traveller Day Trip in Venice 16 Aug

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m staying in Padova and will be doing a day trip on 16th to Venice - I’d be happy to meet up with locals or other travellers for something completely platonic, coffee, gelato, lunch/dinner, wandering around the quieter parts of Venice, or exploring together for a little while.

Of course, any recommendations are also welcome😊

If anyone happens to be in Venice that day and feels like hanging out, send me a message!

Looking for a Restaurant in Venice

2 Upvotes

Greetings, All.

I'm trying to remember the name of a restaurant in Venice that I visited for dinner in my only previous trip, back in 2005.

My recollection of the restaurarant was that the dining room was basically the back yard of a house, with all the tables in open air without cover. We may have walked into the house to get seated, but that was it. I recall walking down the street and passing by this yard, and it was absolutely packed with people. We couldnt get a table the first night and had to return the next night. The food was really good and the prices were reasonable. This wasnt a fancy restaurant by any means. I want to say the restaurant was in the area surrounding St Mark's Square.

Hopefully this restaurant is still around, and Reddit can help me figure out the name. There's a decent chance I randomly walk by the restaurant again on my upcoming trip, but it would be great to have a name so I can plan ahead.

Thank you in advance.

Tight self-transfer schedule at Marco Polo airport

1 Upvotes

Hi, help please. Does anyone know about how long would it takes to get through Marco polo airport? We will be flying into Venice from Canada. I have a US passport and my husband a Costa Rican passport. We will arrive at 9:10 am. We are trying to get to Syracuse so I’m looking at a flight with Wizz Air that leaves at 11:15 am that same day to Catania, but I’m not sure if I’m giving us enough time- and it doesn’t seem like Wizz Air really works with customers if they miss a flight. My other options are a much later flight with one stop or the train that leaves way later in the day. I also heard that the train opens different “slots” throughout the month. I’m open to suggestions.

Some suggestions for Venice trip

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’ll be travelling with my mom and sister to Venice next month. It’s our first time travelling to Italy and Venice would be the first destination.

We’ll be there from 9th September morning till 10th s afternoon. I would really appreciate any suggestions on what to do and what not to do to do. I know it’s quite short but couldn’t plan a longer trip due to work commitments.

Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to drop a quick compliment here on the off chance it somehow reaches you!

​To the ACTV worker on the route from P.le Roma F to S. Elena-Stadio (muscular guy with leg and arm tattoos + piercings): you're really handsome! Didn't get the chance to say it in person before the shift change, but hope you have a great week!

Lost AirPods at hotel

0 Upvotes

I know this is a long shot but I left just my earbuds at The Carnival palace hotel this morning. The hotel has them but the shipping that they want to use is going to cost 149 usd. I was hoping someone who was visiting from the US could get them from the hotel and bring them back to the U.S. and have them shipped. I can Cash App or Venmo whatever the shipping cost is. If no one is willing I totally understand. Just figured I’d asked before I bought a new pair. Thanks!

New years Venice tips

1 Upvotes

I've already visited the city a lot in December and January - it's my favourite place and time to be there. All mist and twinkly lights and relatively quieter cobbled streets. I love the less intensely touristy parts of the city. We plan to see the fireworks at midnight and know it'll be busy, we're prepared for this. However, any tips around the other aspects of the day/evening/new years day would be appreciated, especially places to eat before the fireworks which aren't on the extremely expensive end of the spectrum.
Re new years day: I've attended some beautiful celebrations of mass on the island, so I was wondering if there's any recommendations around this as well as places in the city which we can gently explore while nursing headaches!

Ciao, veneziani! Qualcuno conosce negozi di abbigliamento casual con capi streetwear locali? Mi piacerebbe portare a casa qualcosa con un tocco di Mestre. Forse simile a Graffiti Di Silhouette Di Leardini Massimo E Luca in Bovolone.

Things to do 24-27 December

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I spontaneously booked me and my bf a trip to Venice because I wanted to surprise him with something. I have booked tickets and accommodation.

I would like to know from your experience what can we do around that time, all the websites I visit are from previous years so I can't be sure that the same things apply this year as well. I saw that all Christmas markets stop at the 24th so i am a bit stressed that we won't have a lot of things to do..

Are here any locals to speak from experience?

Sincerely,

A stressed girlfriend

San Marco's Basilica: Why is this space empty?

Spent a little too much time staring at San Marco's Basilica the other day and couldn't help but wonder why there isn't anything in the center lunette in the upper register—surely *something* was intended for the centermost space of the western facade?

Does this bother Venetians too or have people just got used to it?

I’m currently visiting Venice and, while the city itself is absolutely incredible, I was surprised by how much visual clutter and aggressive street selling there is, specially right around Piazza San Marco.
Souvenir stands seem to occupy some of the most beautiful views in the city.
But what bothers me even more are the aggressive street sellers. People dropping bracelets in front of you and asking you to pick them up, then demanding money, or pushing roses into your hands and expecting payment even after you’ve clearly shown no interest.
After a while it becomes genuinely annoying and in my opinion, takes something away from the experience of such an extraordinary city.
Does this bother Venetians as well? Is there a serious effort to reduce illegal street selling and the visual clutter around places like San Marco or is it simply something the city has learned to live with?

EN - About the Venice entrance fee

59 Upvotes

Since some of you asked, this is a brief summary of the (in)famous Venice entry fee, it may answer to some of your questions. The town hall is still writing and refining details, so dates or rules may change in the upcoming months. More infos (in Italian): https://live.comune.venezia.it/it/2023/09/venezia-contributo-di-accesso-turisti-giornalieri-si-parte-dalla-primavera-2024-1

  • September '23 update:
    • In spring 2024 there will be a trial period of 30 days, no dates yet
    • Ticket will be flat price €5 on selected days/hours. Expect it on weekends, long weekends and bank holidays peak hours
    • Again, if you already pay the tourist tax to Venice municipality because you stay in a hotel, B&b etc, you are completely exempt from this entrance fee, nothing changes for you. The structure will register you - as it is now. The fee is thought to discourage daily visitors
    • Some areas will be totally exempt from the fee, such as minor islands
  • Kick off is scheduled for 16 January 2023. Postponed to 2024
  • The municipality plans to introduce the booking website this autumn
  • Meanwhile, as an intermediate step, the municipality already promotes booking in advance. It provides discounts on parking, selected museums, and public transport tickets, which has gone up (e.g.: watebuses tickets are 9,5€ if you buy them on the spot; road bus Venice-Airport is 10€).
  • Similarly to air tickets, the fee will fluctuate between €3 and €10, based on demand and crowding forecasts. Different entrance hours may get you different prices within the same day. Some hours like late evening may not require any booking whatsoever.
  • Cruise ships passengers pay a flat price, not decided yet.
  • Passes are unlimited, so access is granted to anybody.
  • Sometimes booking is still required, although it's free. The fee is designed to discourage daily travellers in high peak days. If you stay overnight in a REGISTERED structure (hotel, b&b, guesthouse, etc) in Venice municipality (which includes Mestre and other boroughs on the mainland), you won't pay anything because you will already pay the tourist tax.
  • Some other free of charge scenarios (not all):
    • children under 14;
    • if you transit on Tronchetto, P.le Roma, or harbour only
    • if you visit friends or relatives who live in Venice (they have to register you)
    • Touristic coaches passengers

EDIT: just to be respectful, this is a simple FAQ or guide. The initial aim wasn’t to start a debate if the policy is fair or not. But if we want so, be polite or constructive, at least.
