That's very expensive, but if you know well the city, you can eat and have fun at a good price.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Venice? Is there any advice you can give?

It depends on the periods. Anyway, my advice is to check expecially on Social Networks.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Venice has some unique dishes called "cicheti", available in the "bacari", the venetian bar. Very good.

What places would you recommend visiting in Venice?

Except for San Marco and Rialto, Santa Maria della Salute is a must to see. But there is a huge quantity of monuments and beautiful churches. My advice is to read about the mistery of Venice and to go around to find those mysterious places. Unforgettable.

Is the nightlife good in Venice? Where is good to go?

It's very cool. You can find different kind of places. There are a lot of "bacari", pubs and there is the smallest disco in the world :)

It's not easy for a foreigner to find places who close very late because in general they close at 1 AM but I can show the other places.

What advice would you give future students heading to Venice?

How to go around and, above all, how to feel Venice in a real way because there is a difference between tourist and traveller :)
