Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs in the city for the best rates; avoid the exchange bureaux at Piazzale Roma, the train station, and the airport, which give poor rates and charge high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops and restaurants; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) work in most places; carry some cash for smaller bars, markets, and water bus tickets.
No obligation to tip; locals round up the bill or leave a euro or two for good service in restaurants; taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips, though a small gesture is appreciated.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar (caffè) costs around €1.20; sitting at a table usually doubles the price.
A takeaway pizza slice (pizza al taglio) or a panino from a bakery costs €5-8.
A main course (primo/secondo) at a modest trattoria, without wine, runs €15-20.
Near the Rialto Bridge and the Frari church, you'll find small shops selling cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and fried seafood by the piece.
Conad City and Punto Simply are common budget supermarkets in the area; look for the Coop too near Piazzale Roma.
Affordable high-street chains like OVS are near the Rialto area; for cheaper options, head to the Carrefour or Conad for basic clothing, but proper budget shopping is better in Mestre across the bridge.
A single vaporetto ticket (75 min) costs €9.50; cheaper is the 24-hour pass (€25) for multiple trips. From the airport, the cheapest way is the bus to Piazzale Roma (€10 one way) rather than the Alilaguna water bus (€15).
Always buy vaporetto tickets before boarding from a tabacchi or ticket machine to avoid a €60 fine. Eat cicchetti instead of sit-down meals for a filling, cheap snack. Skip restaurant service charges by eating standing at the bar.

Marco Polo Airport (VCE) → Villa Edera (Lido di Venezia)
💡 Book with a company like Consorzio Motoscafi — a fixed price to Lido is about €120. Split between 3–4 people it's worth it for the direct lagoon ride. Confirm the total before boarding.

Top Attractions in Venezia
💡 Go at sunrise for photos without crowds. The best view of the bridge itself is from the nearby Ponte dei Frari or a traghetto crossing.
💡 Go before 10am or after 4pm to avoid queues. Cover shoulders and knees. The free Crypt of San Marco is often overlooked but worth a quick look.
💡 Sit at a cafe on the ground floor for a drink — expensive but you get the view. Avoid the 'menu turistico' restaurants nearby. Instead, walk 5 minutes to a backstreet bacaro.
💡 Visit during the Biennale (odd years, May-Nov) for a fee; otherwise it’s a peaceful spot for a picnic. Walk east along the Riva degli Schiavoni to get there.
💡 Buy tickets online or arrive early. The staircase is not well signposted — look for a small archway near Campo Manin. Go on a clear day for the best photos.
