Venice, the Floating City
The best way to explore Venice is by foot, but for longer distances, you can take a vaporetto (waterbus) or gondola. Whether you're commuting to a coworking space or just running errands, you'll love the city's unique mode of transportation. The vaporetto network is extensive and runs frequently, making it easy to get around the city. If you're looking for a more romantic mode of transportation, hop on a gondola and take a leisurely ride through the canals.
Find Your Work Spot
Venice has a growing community of digital nomads and remote workers, and you can find coworking spaces and cafes with good wifi all over the city. Some popular options include Caffè Florian, a historic cafe with a beautiful interior and reliable wifi, and L'Ostello Bello, a hostel with a coworking space and a lively atmosphere. Many cafes and restaurants in the city also offer good wifi, making it easy to find a comfortable spot to work from.

Venice is a city with endless opportunities for exploration. Take a walk along the canals, visit the famous St. Mark's Basilica, and admire its intricate architecture and gold mosaics. Explore the colorful neighborhoods of Castello and Cannaregio and visit the local markets for fresh seafood and handcrafted goods. If you're an art lover, don't miss the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, showcasing works by famous artists such as Jackson Pollock and Salvador Dali, and the Gallerie dell'Accademia, featuring an extensive collection of Venetian paintings from the 14th to the 18th century.

For a more formal dining experience, try Osteria Alle Testiere, serving up traditional Venetian cuisine in a cozy setting. Don't miss the chance to try local dishes such as bigoli in salsa, a type of spaghetti with duck ragù, and sarde in saor, a dish of sweet and sour sardines.
