Where to Stay

Venice center

Recommended

Convenient, walkable and close to the main first-time sights

Best base for this budget itinerary because it reduces transfers.

Alternative local quarter

More residential, better evening food and often stronger value

Good if you prefer quieter nights or already know the city.
