Honestly, we want to play a bit with you. Don’t get upset. Sometimes we have to answer to some questions that make our legs wobble.
Let’s clear them out.
We are driving to Venice. Where can I park?
Can we come to the apartment, drop the luggage and then go to park?
× only if your car is amphibious or a hovercraft or the apartment is in Mestre you can make it. Have you ever seen images of cars in Venice?
Where is the best place to catch a gondola?
× Any small canal is good. One worth another.
What’s the best price for a gondola?
× Since 2013 you don’t have to bargain anymore, there are fixed prices -> €80 before 7 PM, €100 afterwards.
Any suggestion for a gondola ride?
Can you swim in Venice?
✓ Sure, along the beach at Lido or in some remote lagoon island.
Can you swim in the canals?
× Do you roll wearing swimsuit or pants only in the roads back home? You don’t, do you? Why? PS: you might be subject to dear fines => up to €400!
What’s wrong with resting a sec on a bridge?
× You will jam up the pedestrian traffic. A bridge makes a bottle neck effect. As much as little space you can take, this situation will get worse, making the traffic go slower.

× You will jam up the pedestrian traffic. A bridge make a bottle neck effect. As much as little space you can take, this situation will get worse, making the traffic go slower, increasing immensely the chance that a resident will tell you off.
Can I have a picnic around Venice?
× would you have a snack or a meal on a table where 40 millions of people walks on, seagulls pigeons and dogs walked, ate and p….ed? That’s the simplest reason why residents will look at you disgusted while you are biting your sandwich or licking your ice-cream
Where can I get the best cannoli?
× in Sicily, for sure. It’s a typical Sicilian cake. Here we get the same frozen stuff you can find at Tesco’s, Walmart’s or Carrefour’s.
Where can I get the best pizza?
× in Napoli, for sure. What we found here that is almost a pizza, you find it listed here.
What’s the best food typical in Venice?
× I’d say Sarde in Saor. My wife says the liver. Others the cod or sea snails. Every mouth is different. Maybe you are vegetarian.
Where is the best pasta?
× You can’t be serious. We are in Italy. We can’t mess up with that. If you find some rubbish pasta in any of our favorite eateries, let us know and we set it on fire.
Do you have some good restaurants to suggest?
What’s the best restaurant in Venice?
× How can we say what’s the best for you? I love small taverns and can’t stand the fancy Nouvelle cuisine . Maybe you are bored of traditional italian food and you like gourmet restaurants.
