We are two Canadians currently living in Italy. We moved to Italy in November 2018 to start a new chapter of our life's and we would like to share our story with. We hope you enjoy it.

About us:
In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend's lists – but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, that’s kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.

After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew – and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

As a fellow venetian I can confirm that all you said is completely correct, it seems like you know the city really well and it makes me truly happy that somebody being born 10.000km away from my country chose to come here

[lyndalombardi]

Grazie, all excellent tips. As a Canadian who stayed in Venice for the month of April 2022, I can confirm that these are things all tourists need to know. One DO I might add is to learn a few phrases in Italian, the basic please, thank you, good morning, where is the bathroom, how much does that cost? It is so appreciated when you at least try. I had a wonderful time living in Castelo like a local and going to places not many tourists take the time to see. Venice is enchanting, the history amazing and the people are wonderful. Yep, the food is pretty darn good too. Esplorare Venezia, trova i suoi tesori nascosti. Innamorarsi del suo fascino 💖

Venice has always been a very economical holiday for me. I go for around 4 days, rent an apartment, buy groceries from shops and the early morning boats that bright fresh fruit and vegetables to their piazza market stands and eat one or two meals in casa each day, walk, and catch traghetti (the functional, mostly standing, "ferry" boat gondole that locals use along the Grand Canal) for about 2 or 3 Euro, and only go out to eat or drink in local or establishments off of the well trodden tourist trails. I usually spend, with the rental shared with one or two others, about €30 to €50 per day in total. When I've been by myself, I've stayed in a nunnery to make the trip even cheaper, and keep my money for the galleries and museums.

I agree with most of what you said except for one thing. Venice has little to no benches, so that forces people to sit on steps and other areas. If the city doesn't like people doing that then they should invest in some benches. Other than that, Venice is one of my favorite cities to visit.

[margueriteperry]

I have always found Italians lovely, helpful, and VERY courteous. I work at being respectful, and over the years have learned to get along in Italian, but even when I only knew Grazie and Buongiorno, they never failed to reciprocate. I usually rent an apartment, and I often receive little welcome gifts from the owners, and in turn I leave then a thank you gift. As for the Venetians or Veneziani, I LOVE chatting with them and getting to know them, and find the SO FRIENDLY, even in the most tourist trodden paths, they respond very well to anyone who makes an effort to treat them with respect and not as service (I saw an American in this feed refer to them as Venusians, but they are not from Venus, and call the locales "rude." I'd be rude too with tourist who did not know where they were or could not be bothered to learn). Fare una bella figura and sempre cortesia.

Great video, great tips, thank you for taking the time to keep us intrepid visitors informed. Full respect to you both, beautiful people!

One thing TO DO is to walk on the right, not the left. I was thoroughly told off by a local for walking on the left. I have been 7 times now and I am returning in November and will keep to the right!

[johncataldo]

Grazie, very helpful. Keep up the great work. Ciao👍👍

My first visit to Venice was part of one of my first international trips. I had not yet learned to pack light, and somewhere i got the idea I should pack all that stuff in more small bags rather than fewer large ones. As a result, my partner and I ended up with FIVE bags total. My partner was disabled and unable to carry any, so it was left to me to lug them all from the vaparetto stop, over countless cobblestones, and over several bridges, to our hotel (and back at the end of the stay). Needless to say, I learned my lesson, and Venice was a very good teacher. Guys, thanks for another good and helpful video. I'm returning to Venice in October (with one suitcase). Lucky me!

[raisafrancisco]

First time I watch your videos. I just subscribed, of course, and I promise I will follow your advice in June, when I visit the city for the second time. I love Venice.

[wilkowanders]

Thanks for these helpful tips on what not to do in Venice! Planning my trip and these insights will definitely come in handy for a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Can't wait to explore this unique city! 🇮🇹✨

[LorettaKeesee-plln]

I love Venice it's my most favorite place to vacation. The people are so kind and friendly and helpful. I would live there year round if I could. Happy Easter friends

[michellediolola]

watching from Germany, will visit Venice with my daughter and first think I did on my research is "what not to do in Venice"... helps a lot!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[beautifulbird]

Thank you 🙏
I've booked to visit Venice in September on my own. Hopefully will see you both as somepoint 🥰🥰
Hopefully my trip will be wonderful ❤❤ I went to Italy so many times from past with my Ex as he used to work in Sorrento but now he working in Thailand (this time will be my first time on my own in Italy) So let go!💃

[DirectionlessStudent]

I agree on all your points with the caveat that sometimes you need a big bag -- like if you're staying in Venice for two full weeks during Carnevale and have costumes with you as well! 😆But to your point, if you need a big bag, take a private water taxi to/from the airport or train station right to your hotel. It's expensive, but you can't walk through the city dragging a big roller bag on those stones and through those crowds.

[MrDimairt]

Some good tips here. I second the suggestion of a trip to Murano, it's great and not as busy as the obvious spots. The old ghetto is worth a visit too as is the nearby Kosher restaurant.

[lctmidi]

We are visiting Italy for the first time next April and I am a big fan of your video's. The tips and advice you provide and are helping to take a little of the stress out of the planning--and are just fun to watch! Thanks so much for posting these!!!

[HarisHusni-fn]

Thank you for being so nice when we said hi to both of you in Venice 2 weeks ago. 11:43 . Your fans from Malaysia. ❤

[robertford]
