Question 1

What's Venice famous for?

Accepted Answer

Venice is famous for being Italy's cultural hub, made recognisable by its meandering canals and opulent structures. Once a primary trading port, Venice was the first place any new music, art, fashion, or literature arrived in Italy. Today, this is reflected in how the city is home to many artisan crafts like carnival mask creation. Venice is also known for having more waterways than roads, which is why boating is a popular way to get around. Through the interweaving canals, you can glimpse many distinctly Venetian building design features like Istrian stone, grand facades, and Gothic architecture.

Question 2

Is Venice sinking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Venice is sinking, but very slowly. In fact, over the past century, there has only been about 15cm of subsidence, so you don't need to worry about any sudden sinking during your holiday.

On top of this, you'll be happy to know that the local government has already introduced new interventions to protect this historic city. These include the construction of the MOSE waterway project and the introduction of new boating speed limits to prevent swells. This means you and future generations can appreciate the beauty of Venice for many more years without fear of acqua alta (high water levels).

Question 3

What are some of the most unique things to do in Venice?

Accepted Answer

There are plenty of unique things to do in Venice that you won't find anywhere else. If you're interested in fine crafts, you can visit Venetian artisans responsible for the city's famous marbled papers and carnival masks. Meanwhile, music lovers can drop by the Teatro La Fenice. Built-in 1790, this opera house regularly holds exclusive musical performances. Finally, bookworms will enjoy a visit to Libreria Acqua Alta, which is a cheeky bookstore where you'll find a diverse selection of books in bathtubs and boats.

Question 4

Is it worth booking a gondola ride in Venice?

Accepted Answer

While gondola rides aren't cheap and it may be tempting to skip the attraction, we'd definitely recommend booking one if it fits into the budget for your Venice trip! No matter if you only have 30 minutes or a whole day, these customisable tours will have you feeling like you've stepped back in time as you traverse the city, much like the merchants of old did. Some of the destinations your licenced gondolier guide can take you to include Degli Scalzi Bridge, Piazzale Roma, and the iconic St. Mark's Square. Plus, it's a great way to see a local's perspective of Venice, as gondoliers love to tell stories about their Venetian lives, and may even serenade you with a song or two.

Question 5

What's the population of Venice?

Accepted Answer

As of 2024, the population of Greater Venice is just over 257,000. The actual island city of Venice, however (Centro Storico) only has about 50,000 permanent residents, so on any given day tourists make up a significant percentage of the people on the island.

Question 6

How do you get to the centre of Venice from the airport?

Accepted Answer

Once you've landed at Marco Polo Airport, you can get to Venice city proper by bus, car, taxi, or ferry. Taking a car or taxi is the quickest option, as a direct route can take you to Venice in just 15 minutes. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, there are buses that depart from the airport every 30 minutes, with drop-offs at Piazzale Roma. Of course, if you want to get into the Venetian boating culture as soon as possible, the scenic ferry option takes you from the airport to Madonna dell'Orto in under 30 minutes.
