Local Customs: Bargaining for prices
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Most shopkeepers will be happy to adjust prices for you to give you the best deal. However you must be willing to pay in cash. If you plan on paying with credit the deal will probably not go through. It is very expensive for these merchants to accept credit cards so they will want to make it worth their while.

    All the same, bargaining is available just have cash on hand and the stores away from the main squares have nicer stuff.

     Great hotel tips. I think about 3 days is a good amount to spend in Venice in order to wander, get lost, wander some more. Some grand insights.

     GASP! Only "A day to day and a half" for Venice! Bite your tongue, this gorgeous city deserves so much more than that. It's fabulous, sexy and full of charm. I cannot wait to return with my hubby later this year. :) Happy travels!
