  • Luggage And Bags: If you are Ok w/checking bags and are coming early january....bring a quite big bag...with ONLY the necessary stuff since sales (SALDI) are really (really) espectacular (specially if you do the whole Tax Free stuff and if the dollar is strong..at least from my point of view).

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you find yourself deep in the water it is always useful to forget style, get over it and buy those green plastic boots...trust me, you're never going to regret it! Just be sure to waer socks, otherwise be ready to get painful and hedious blisters.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: It is always easy to fins anything in Venice, La Standa for instance carries a lot of nice european hair treatments. The last time I was there I forgot to bring mosturizer but got a nice "CERA DI CUPRA" at a local pharmacy.



    Miscellaneous: Be aware that almost evry store is closed on sundays, so get everything you need either in the train station, airport or a day ahead.
