Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. (So if you're traveling in March 2026, make sure it doesn’t expire before September 2026.)

Italy uses the Euro (€). Most places accept credit cards, but it’s a good idea to carry some cash—especially for water taxis, small shops, and cafes.

Check with your carrier for international roaming plans. You can also grab a local eSIM or SIM card if your phone is unlocked. Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels and restaurants.

Venice is a car-free city made for walking. Expect lots of bridges, cobblestone streets, and water taxis—so bring comfortable shoes you can walk in (and maybe skip the stilettos)

Weather in March can be chilly and sometimes rainy. A warm coat, compact umbrella, and layers will go a long way.

Italy uses Type C or F plugs (two round pins) and 230V. Bring a European plug adapter — and make sure your devices can handle the voltage if you’re bringing a hairdryer or straightener.

The hotel offers garment steamers upon request at the front desk. For convenience, we suggest bringing a travel steamer if you prefer having one on hand.
