Enjoy Respect Venezia: 12 pieces of advice to visit Venice responsibly
#EnjoyRespectVenezia is the campaign by the City of Venice to raise
awareness and guide visitors to act responsibly and respectfully towards the
environment, the landscape, the artistic beauty and identity of Venice.
And to encourage a way of travelling that is compatible with the
residents' daily life.
The 12 practical pieces of advice from the #EnjoyRespectVenezia campaign
1. Discover the hidden treasures in Venice in the less popular places to
appreciate their beauty.
2. Explore the islands in the lagoon and mainland Venice, and take part
in the events held throughout the city.
3. Try the local products and
traditional dishes in Venetian cuisine.
4. Visit the ancient craft shops
that still exist in Venice today.
5. Book guided tours with qualified tourist guides, who will tell
you the thousand-year-old history of Venice.
6. Walk on the right, don't
stop on the bridges, don't ride or even push your bike.
7. The monuments, church steps, bridges, wells and pavements are not
picnic areas. Use the public parks for your refreshments.
8. The area of Saint Mark's Square is a monumental site and you are
not allowed to stand outside the spaces reserved for consuming food and drink.
9. Venice is a city of art: you are not permitted to bivouac or camp
out, or walk around bare-chested, dive and swim. To find a beach, go to
Lido and Pellestrina.
10. Respect the environment and the
artistic heritage: do not leave your rubbish, do not daub graffiti or
drawings or fasten love locks and do not feed the pigeons.
11. If you are staying in an apartment, recycle your rubbish.
