Venice Welcomes Europe Travel Wire: Your First Dispatch

Europe Travel Wire is now covering Venice, Italy.

This dispatch marks the start of ongoing coverage from the city — attraction openings and closures, ticketing and access changes, festivals worth planning a trip around, and the practical transport and local-life news that visitors and residents actually need.

Canals, carnival and lagoon islands.

What to expect

Our contributors on the ground in Venice will be filing regular updates as things change — a new exhibition, a museum's revised opening hours, a festival date, or a shift in how you book tickets to the city's best-known sites.
