Discovering Venice

Some tips and information to live Venice as insiders

Discovering Venice

G20 was created in 1999 and it groups the national banks and the ministers of economy and finance of the 20 most industrialized countries, with the aim to cooperate on common strategies to face financial and international crisis.

Venice has been in white zone since the 7th June 2021, as mentioned in a previous post. These are the main points regarding daily and social life:

bars and restaurants can receive customers indoor and outdoor, with a limit of 6 persons per table when indoor;

museums, shops, gyms, outdoor pools, cinemas and theatres are open;

The great composer Igor Stravinsky was a real cosmopolite and had the chance, during his life to travel and live in different countries and cities around the world - this gave him the opportunity to meet and collaborate with the greatest artists and authors of his time.

Starting from the 7th June 2021, the Veneto region will be a white zone in Italy (together with Liguria, Abruzzo, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Molise). What does this mean? It's very simple: the only rules to strictly follow concerning the covid-19 pandemic will be wearing a mask, social distancing and hand sanitation.

We're very pleased to announce that the Italian Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, just signed the ordinance which eliminates the quarantine for travellers entering Italy from EU countries! Moreover, Venice is now part of the airports allowed to Covid-free flights (the list now includes Milan, Rome, Venice and Naples). Covid-free flights will now operate to these 4 Italian airports from the USA, Canada, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.

May is turning out to be a month full of news for Venice: in addition to the reopening (keep on checking our blog for the latest update) and the Architecture Biennale, from the 29th May to the 6th June 2021 the second edition of the Venice boat show will take place!

Since the last 10 years or so, we have all learned to use several websites, platforms or portals to do our shopping, book our flights, holidays, find travel-mates, taxis... Every side of our daily life can benefit of apps or websites providing products or services that we need. We can access them 365 days per year, 24 hours a day, from any location, provided that we have an internet connection.

Venice and the Veneto region have been a "yellow zone" since mid-April, which means that now museums are allowed to open, also on weekdays. We at Luxrest Venice checked the updated opening schedules and we're listing them here for you:
