Hii Jessica..

I am planning to visit Italy from 01,03,12 to 05,03,12. My present plan is to fly from Frankfurt to Rome on 1 March, then travel from Rome to Venice on 02,03,12 night …enjoy Venice for 2 days and leave from Venice on 4th night to Pisa and then from Pisa, back to Frankfurt on 5th MArch.

Can you please let me know if there is any travel pass in Italy or I should book the tickets between Rome-Venice-Pisa seperately.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Chitra

I don’t keep up lists of where to eat in each city – that’s a whole full-time job right there! – but I do have some tips on finding good food in Venice here:

And if you have an iPhone, some of these Venice apps may have useful dining information, too:

Hi Jessica!

This is a fabulous page! I am going with my friend in March for 4 days so we can explore and get lost lots!! Can’t wait! Can you suggest any amazing cafes or restaurants?? (That are also not too expensive!!)

Well, if you don’t want to do what Jessica has said then look somewhere else where it says the top 10 things attractions where every other person is going! Life’s about exploring and doing the unexpected in my mind and Venice is perfect for this! I think she’s got it pretty perfect! Also, Venice is a place of exploring, if you want All Inclusive 5* Spa with Swimming Pool then don’t go to Venice!

Best advice we got anywhere was to plan on getting lost, enjoy getting lost and go with it from your site. First day was a bit frustrating then read your comments and made the next two days in Venice the best time of out Italy trip. Relax, get lost and enjoy! Thanks do much!

I’m so glad you had a good trip, Eric! And thanks for checking back in regarding the gelato in Venice. Grom is a chain in Italy, but it’s an excellent chain – they’re even in New York now – so I would expect the quality of Grom to be roughly the same everywhere. I’ll have to make a note of your Venetian gelato recommendation, however, for my next visit!

Jessica, just back from an incredible 10 days in Italy. I can’t thank you enough for the great information on your site. It was a huge help (and per your tip, gelato just about every day – had to sample other local specialties too). As for gelato in Venice, Il Doge was excellent, and though we did not get a chance to try, Gelateria Alaska looked great (it was closed the night we went by after seeing it in the afternoon). Also grabbed the sweet treat @ a local GROM location. It was good, but not in the class of Il Doge – my green apple was so fresh, I almost was expecting a “crunch” sound. Also, is it me or does Venetial gelato almost have a bit more of an American ice cream body & texture. It seemed like gelato in Rome & Florence was lighter & creamier. Thanks again!!!

Here’s some information on the hostels in Venice:
http://www.italylogue.com/accommodation/hostels-in-venice.html

There aren’t many – there’s only one official “HI Hostel” and several other room rental places that call themselves hostels. Otherwise, here’s some information on budget hotels:

In particular, on the list under the map there’s a link to an article about budget hotels near the train station.
