About Venice for Solo Travelers

A city that exists only to be gotten lost in — solo travelers follow canals with no destination, discover squares hidden from every map, and experience one of the world's most extraordinary human achievements entirely at their own pace.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Venice is genuinely magical solo — getting lost is the whole point, and without a group to negotiate with you can follow any canal that looks interesting. The Dorsoduro and Cannaregio sestieri (districts) are far less crowded than San Marco and more authentic. A vaporetto (water bus) ticket covers the Grand Canal. Eating a cicchetti (Venetian tapas) bar-crawl alone through the bacaro bars is one of Italy's greatest solo food experiences. Come in November-March for a completely different atmosphere.

Caffè Florian

Cafes

$$$

Europe's oldest café — open continuously since 1720 in the arcades of Piazza San Marco. A coffee here costs €15 (with the orchestra surcharge); it is also one of the singular experiences of European civilization: gilded mirrors, velvet banquettes, and Casanova's regular table. Expensive and worth every cent.
