Euro (€)

Venice is pricier than many Italian cities, especially near major sights. Hotels, dining, and canal transport raise costs, though cicchetti bars and off-center stays can help.

Average meal costs

Budget: €8-15 for pizza slices, sandwiches, or street food.
Mid-range: €20-40 per person for a restaurant meal.
Fine dining: €80+ per person for upscale dining.
Coffee: €1.50-3 for espresso or cappuccino.

Tipping culture

Service is often included or covered by coperto. Rounding up or leaving 5-10% for great restaurant service is appreciated, but not required. Small taxi rounding and café change are enough.
