Excellent video that provides a lot of useful information.
Another option for accommodation is a tourist apartment. We stayed in an old building with the apartment at ground/water level. The bonus was a small outdoor patio area fronting on to one of the smaller canals. It was once a loading dock for the building. Our best memories were sitting out and relaxing on this dock with a glass of wine and being within arms length of the occasional gondola passing by.
One final tip is to get the vaporetto pass. We used it to visit Murano and Burano as well as many trips up and down the Grand Canal.

The best part of being in Venice is getting lost. Its amazing what you find.

I was just in Venice a week ago. Stayed closer to the train station and I think it was perfect to avoid having to drag luggage super far.

I visited Venice two days right after Easter April 2023. Venice was raining all day. The Gondola guests wore raincoats, not much for the pretty picture. Rialto bridge had professional trickers to attract you in gambling. The entire Italy has free drinking fountains but in considering that all of these pipes were rusted very bad, I wondered the inner pipes could not be better shape. The smaller museums were closed because of the off season, BTW. In short, early April trip advantage was less traffic and fees but the wet weather and more closed places. Foods: Tapas is the must try and Steak restaurant was supper.

Thank you for such an informative video. My family and I have been to Venice a few times and we still love getting lost and finding ourselves in the Real Venice with the locals. It's such an amazing city.. Everyone should explore Venice at least once in their life.

Going to Venezia this Feb! I accidentally got a hostel in the Mestre area instead of one in actual Venezia. But if I can't change it, I'll make do with this advice. Thanks so much!!

Nice to see that Ryanair's Venice flights land in Italy.
Very helpful guide. Think I'll go for four nights.
