Good advice on deportment for ANY TRAVEL outside your comfort zone! Bravo!
As a resident of Venice may I congratulate the makers of this video. The information given was not only sensible but sensitive. It is easier than you think to avoid the avalanche of tourist tat and crowds. The best advice given in this video? Do your homework.
Michael Albutt Grazie Michael!! It means a lot to get comments like yours from locals.
Great video and very sensible advice. I visit Venice often and fall in love every time! So important as tourists to be respectful of both Venice and the Venetians, I can only imagine the frustration they would have with over tourism. Thanks for the beautiful footage.
Sara Iarossi thank you Sara!
Going in November I can not wait! Great video ty

One tip I've never seen on a TH-cam trip (even as good as this one!) If you want a coffee or a drink, the cheapest way is to drink inside the cafe, standing up at the bar; if you sit down inside it will cost you a little more and to sit outside it will cost you even more!
Helen Keating yes! I mention that tip in my Paris Guide on the Vagabrothers channel. Thanks for watching Helen. Hope you’re subscribed and check out my new video :)
Thank you for sharing Alex. The tips are great and very logical. How romantic.
Thanks Kalel
Wonderful video and well narrated. I enjoyed your clear voice and explanations. ¡Venecia es indudablemente hermosa!
Thank you Judith!! Where would you like me to make a video about next?
@@AlexanderAyling Please make a video about the SCHOOLS. I would like to know about the european school system, especially in Italy. The school schedules, curriculum... do they serve breakfast and lunch like in America? Do they have dual language curriculum system? School buses, etc. I know you can be creative! (Thanks for asking)
Will be there with my family the end of July.
Thanks Alex, great video with lots of good info.
Thank you Greg! I appreciate your support :)
Wow amazing shots! I can't wait to get back to Europe again with my drone and DSLR and film some more videos! 😀
Glad you liked it! Happy creating :)
Very informative, thank you so much for this! 👌🏾
My pleasure Ivette! Thank you for watching, hope you subscribe and check out some of my other videos! Cheers
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
Thank you!
My favorite city😍
It’s a cool spot for sure!
Great video and tips. Love it. We are just starting our vlog so we appreciate it. Keep it up
Awesome!! Good luck!
Nice tips & video!
Thank you Messele! I just published another guide for Rome. Check it out if you have a chance. Cheers
Will be there in May 2020. Have not been there in 23 years. Thanks for the video.
R.I.P corona fucked everything up 😢 I was meant to go to Milan in April as well but rebooked for September. I went to Venice in November, it's such a beautiful place and by far the best place I've been! I'd imagine some things have changed since 1997, but it still feels like a time Worph. As soon as this shit calms down definitely pay Venice another visit, it's so worth it :)
Thanks a lot for your tips :)
Thanks for watching!
Happy journey 🙏
Appreciate it Rewant! 🙏🏼 May I ask where you’re watching from?

Hehehe don't dream about it.. Hehehe jump on plane.. Hehehe just do it..let's life's waves carry u on.. Nothing can buy memories u have to live them true.. See u someday somewhere.. Hehehe
I loved this video. I was in Venice this morning and hoped I watched this before I went. Anyway, I’ll scroll your channel and see if you have travel videos about Milan, Rome, and Nice
Thanks Russell. I have a Rome Guide. Subscribe and stay tuned for more
Great video like a lot :)
Thank you!
Mestre is the best place to stay . It is a very short train/bus journey away and the hotels are very reasonably priced. I stayed , at Christmas. in Mestre and it was the perfect location.
Thanks for the tip Stephen! 😊
Just booked a hotel in Mestre and this is the first comment I’ve found confirming that it was a good choice! Thank you!
I'm here right now- regarding gondola rode -there are places that teach you how to gondola paddle - i found this place 'Venice on board' online that on the website states that they actually offers it for 45€ for 90 minutes or so ! I'll be investigating 😊❤
This video was sooo helpful! I want to reply to you once I return and let you know how it went. Thanks for sharing.
Please do Lilian, I'm looking forward to hearing from you after your visit. Hope you subscribe, more on the way!
Is the gondola station for local at the same place where the one for touris? Love video and thanks so much for sharing. I'm going there this weekend.
No they are different. The local one is to cross the main canal. The tourist ones are yours through back canals
Great Video! Venice is a mythical, wonderful city in the middle of a misty, wet and dream-like lagoon. It has more myths, legends and old stories passed on from mouth to mouth, from father to child for 1500 years than other places. Tourism is an issue, but anybody with an adventurous mind can easily find spots, areas, or even islands far away from the tourist mainstream. You won't see Saint Mark's Square or the Basilica but you can have a different and much more genuine experience.
The legend about the Patriarch of Aquileia, the tribute of 12 pigs and a bull as the origin of the Carnival in Venice, is just that, a legend. There are others...
Again... Great Video!
So much history it’s unbelievable!! I’ve got another Venice video coming out soon on Vagabrothers! Stay tuned
Wow, what a magical mystery tour (am I dating myself?) LOL! Loved your video, excellent advice about being a good, responsible visitor, not the "ugly American". Can't wait to see my dream city for the first time.
Thank you!!! Hope the video helps you enjoy your visit even more!
Great video! Just one thing: the "ch" sound in maschera is pronounced like a hard "k" sound :)
Grazie ;)
I love this comment because the English word mascara is derived from the Italian word maschera. So ladies are putting on their “mask” when applying their eye makeup!
Forget the Gondola use the Veporettia , get a multi day pass
We are here for my partners birthday in January, any recommendations for something fun and special to do? Also love the video!
Eat at the restaurant Anice Stellato and meet up with the non profit Venice On Board and learn to row!
@@AlexanderAyling Amazing, thanks so much!
You’re welcome!! Enjoy 😊
hi Alex! thanks for the tips! i am planning on being there during the peak season, to celebrate my birthday with my partner. would it be possible for you to pass along what airbnb you stayed at?
Hey Tamiko!! I don’t remember the exact one but it was nice and not crazy expensive even though it was a two blocks from the colosseum
@@AlexanderAyling? So close to the pantheon
Thanks for the tips! We always try to travel in shoulder season, so I’m glad you mentioned what to expect (cold weather) did you and Carrie get to experience the nightlife? What was it like?
There really isn’t too much in the way of “nightlife” in Venice - at least not that I know of.
Hey Alex, great video! I'm visiting Venice for the first time during Carnival. Is it okay to participate by dressing in classic carnival masquerade costume? Will the locals think we're awful? or will they welcome us to do carnival like a local?
Of course you should dress up it’s carnival and the locals will be happy you did :)
@@AlexanderAyling Thanks!
What was the airbnb did you stay at? It looked so great!
I tried finding it to link it in this video but i couldn’t find it again
Im headed to Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan this march. Now is that the start of the high season? And any advice for my channel, i'm a travel vlogger, military video etc. :)?
our cities have the names of Roma, Firenze, Venezia and Milano. I do not say ''Nuova Yorka'', ''Dallassa'', ''Vassintonne''.
Great video thankkks !!! :) but i want to know the price of the Gondola is per person or per Gondola ???
It’s per Gondola
@@AlexanderAyling thank uuuu Alex
I'm going to Italy for 15 days in November. I'll be going to Rome, Milan, lake como and florence, positano and pisa. I have 3 days extra so I'm debating between venice or somewhere else.
Do you think it is worth visiting venice?
It’s definitely a beautiful city to visit at least once in your life, plus you’ll be there in the “Low Season” so there will be less tourists and lower accommodation rates. I’d say go for it.
I'm going to Rome for five days in Nov and planned to do a day trip to Positano. After doing some research it found that Nov is a holiday season in Positano where most shops and restuarants close during winter time so you better go to Sorrento instead.
What month did you go?! Because you’re wearing a jacket in your video lol. I’m planning on going in October and I hope that it won’t be too cold
negina negin it’s worth bringing a jacket in October but I went in February
I went in November last year and it was like 11°/12°, not extremely cold tbh.
Nice!! Where is you big bro? 🤗😘
Thanks. He’s on the VB channel ;)
Any tips for one of those restaurants that you have to get "lost" to find? We are going in September.
Wander around, head to some of the outer neighborhoods and surrounding islands.
Great video! Two thoughts though. Venice really isn’t sinking so much as the sea levels are rising. At one point water was being extracted from the aquifer beneath Venice which caused significant settling but that was stopped quite some time ago. Secondly, in my opinion, NEVER stay at an AirBnB in Venice if you really love Venice. AirBnB’s are a major factor driving up the cost of rent for Venetians and pricing them out of their homes. One additional thought....never take a cruise that goes to Venice...there are too many negative effects to Venetians and the lagoon to list!
go VRBO every time. avoid over-priced hotels that makes most the money to NOT stay local. Anyone who says go to hotels are probably a hotel owner/investor/employee. hey there is one place you can stay at 15000,00 pound a NIGHT. lmao. Hotels, smh.
@@jamescallis6852 actually I'm not a hotel owner but someone who cares for Venice. Be a douchebag if you want...it seems to suit you.
@@christopherpatzke3090 lol. Bet! Well that escalated quickly. Have a beer pal, your hotel face lost its chill.
Are you serious air B&B is the only way to go stayed away from the tourist area we rented an Air B&B in duso doro near the college no pricy hotel!
He even suggested it in this video
@@frankalmeida691 first of all it’s Dorsoduro..and secondly I am 100% serious about AirBNB’s
Check out our vlog to Venice, let us know what you think!
would you recommend knowing more than the basics in language?
It’s always helpful but if you can’t learn Italian before you go many people speak English in the cities like Venice. Always worth doing your best to use the local language when you can though
We are planning to see Venice in Jan .. is it safe around 08:00 PM
We are watching from UK
👌🏼
Yes it’s a safe city to wander around. I’ve been out very late, until 2am or later there, and had no problems.
Safe at basically anytime.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
why don't you specify exactly when "the shoulder season" is????? That would make planning a visit much easier .
It’s from October to March
There are 2 duration , middle of April to June and Midle of September to November .
What other restaurants would be recommended? We want to try more authentic food, rather than something tailored to tourists.
The one loved the most is Osteria Anice Stellato
Try the Costello area. Restaurants “CoVino”, “Local”, and “Osteria Oliva Nera”. All family owned and a local experience.
How many days is enough to see Venice
3 nights 4 days id say but it depends on what you wanna see! I also recomend that you visit murano and burano one of the islands close to venice
@@savannahbluebell9840 Thanks . Can you get reasonable accomodation in Venice
@@tarny11 depends on what you are looking for and what you think is reasonable!
@@savannahbluebell9840 ok . I just mean something that's not to over priced. How many times have you bean
@@tarny11 well when u go there off season you can find accomodations for 50euro per night per person 500m from piazza san marco. During high season its more like 150euro when u stay in mestre instead its way cheaper also and you can take the train or bus to venice. If you are still under the age of 30 u can also safe on entrance fees and on the vaporetti when taking the venice card. Its a bit more pricy when you are above 30. Hope i could help otherwise feel free to ask more
No Vencían goes on a Gondola..
This hippie is very well informed...🚬
80$ per person?
No per half hour trip :/
@@AlexanderAyling Thanks!
what's the point of visiting Venice if you cant pay to see it., this video is telling you to visit but you can't afford it. It should be a film saying visit and enjoy take in what is Venice and if you can't afford it stay home.
Sorry but....Venice is not Italy ... Venice is the capital of Veneto
...Italy is illegal in the Veneto territories
....
