eSIM for Venice
🇮🇹 Italy, covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
Where the signal goes
GPS is the issue rather than the network. Tall buildings on narrow canals bounce the signal around, and your blue dot will regularly claim you're in a canal. Offline maps with a compass work better than live navigation.
Getting around
Vaporetto or walk. A day pass pays for itself if you're crossing the city more than twice.
Neighbourhoods
Cannaregio
Where Venetians live. Quieter, cheaper, and a short walk from the station.
Dorsoduro
Galleries and students, and the best sunset on the Zattere.
Castello
Furthest from San Marco, and empty by comparison.
What's on
Carnevale
February
Across the city
Accommodation trebles in price and books out months ahead.
Venice Biennale

Giardini and Arsenale
Art one year, architecture the next.
