I’m really excited to interview JP Morselli of Classic Boats Venice about Venice, Italy. JP’s tips for the best things to do in Venice are awesome because he loves being on the water and Venice is the perfect place for being on boats all day.

Getting around Venice
The local airport is Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), which is about a 15-minute ride to the city. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
JP says that there is parking on the mainland (but it’s expensive) at the entrance to Venice but once you enter Venice there are no cars. Taking a waterbus is the only way to go!
