  • Luggage And Bags: Even a short walk with heavy luggage might be a problem with heavy suitcases to be carried over several bridges and the old cobbled stones, which are not asflat as in other places, but many are sunken in...

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Ladies - better get some flat and comfortable shoes, its cobbled stones all over Venice

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: There are only a few Supermarkets for everyday-goods and they will be hidden in areas tourists will normally not go to.

    Photo Equipment: Its best to buy it outside of Venice

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: There are 2 camping sites in Venice - but it will take about 1 hour for the boats to get to the St.Marc's square and ships will run late at night

    Miscellaneous: Bring a lot of money...

    ...everything is really rather expensive...

    But simply have a look for this lovely pic...

    ...these sights are WORTH all the EXTRA-troubles...

    ...but it is also worth every penny !!!

     Hi Michael. Great tips on Venice. My sister & I are planning to go there in the spring so that means I'll be in Vienna again soon too!
