DO check out this guide, prepared by the City of Venice, before you visit on how to enjoy and respect the city and practice sustainable tourism #EnjoyRepectVenezia DO wear comfortable shoes. You will be walking a LOT in Venice as there are no cars or drivable roads and lots of small streets and bridges. Water taxis (not gondolas) are extremely expensive. Save your heels for another city! DO take your litter away with you. You’ll notice that there are very few garbage cans. Venice can only handle its residents’ waste. Everything is taken to the mainland by boat. DON’T eat take away. It sounds strange but don’t think you can get a takeaway pizza and sit outside to eat it easily. There are virtually no benches and or places to sit in central Venice. And definitely no sitting on the ground or on the steps around the cafés in St. Mark’s Square. DO get lost! Everyone gets lost in Venice and it’s part of the fun. You’ll discover something amazing at every turn, anyway.
