Venice, "La Serenissima," is situated in the Veneto region of Italy and is spread across 118 small islands. This floating city entices with its historic architecture, mysterious passageways, and timeless beauty.
While Venice is known for its canals and gondolas, there are different modes of transport to explore the city and its surroundings. Rental cars come in handy, providing the flexibility to visit offshore attractions at your own pace.
Marco Polo Airport and Santa Lucia Train Station have several car rental suppliers. Taking a rental car is an excellent way to explore the Veneto region’s countryside or take day trips to cities like Verona or Padua. Just keep in mind that driving inside Venice is not possible as the city is entirely pedestrianized.
Parking in Venice can be a bit tricky. Garages in Tronchetto Island and Piazzale Roma are available but often get filled quickly. Early booking can ensure a spot. Consider using a Park and Ride from Mestre or the mainland where you can catch public transportation into Venice.
Venice is famous for attractions such as St. Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, and the Grand Canal. However, a rental car can take you to lesser-known treasures outside Venice.
If you're a wine enthusiast, set off on the Prosecco Route in the Treviso area or the Amarone Route in the Valpolicella region. Both routes offer tantalizing tastings at various wineries.
The driving side in Italy is the right-hand side, contrary to the UK, where driving is on the left. Seat belts are compulsory for everyone in the vehicle. Make sure to carry your driving license, car insurance proof, and vehicle documents while driving. Also, don't drink and drive; Italy has strict drink-driving laws.
Venice has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and muggy with high tourist traffic. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September and October) are pleasant times to visit with relatively fewer crowds.
While exploring the city and experiencing its beauty, remember to respect the locals' customs and the city's regulations. Over-tourism can stress the infrastructure of this historic city. Be a responsible tourist; remember you are a guest in their city.
With careful planning, a vacation in Venice can be a rewarding experience. Enjoy your trip!
