SIÓRI E SIÓRE, BENVEGNÙI A VENESSIA
I want to give you some useful info about your trip on this in this nonpareil town, to know and love.
Venice is builted in the middle of his lagoon: trips are difficults and need the double of time than an another town; life is regulated by tides, wind, rain, fogs, tath changes your programs and appointments. This is the price for live in Venice.
So i want to advice you: don’t made so many projects. Live your stay in Venice hour by hour, lose yourself. Follow your instincts and stuffed into the deserted street.
Talk to Venetians: they’ll answer to you in venéto, because here nobody talk italian language.
Walks with comfortable shoes and light luggage. Ideal a backpacker; avoids heavy rigid suitcases to drag upon the bridges.
Plan your arrival: especially in the evening after 20 to travel by public transport becomes quite difficult also for the residents.
Move following the GPS smartphone does not make much sense; it is best to consult the routes of public transport and buy a timed tourist ticket valid for one to seven days, otherwise you will pay dearly for every single trip.
RULES OF CONDUCT IN VENICE
Venice is a fragile town;
the always growing number of people who walk in its calli (roads), has made necessary the creation of a guideline to be followed and ease the visit of the town maintaining the respect toward the town itself and its citizens.
