je suis à la recherche de quelques restos pas trop piège à touriste, avec un bon rapport qualité prix, dans des quartiers un peu hors sentiers battus.... ainsi que des chouettes trucs à faire le soir. Nous y allons à 2 du 27/1 au 30/1.
merci d'avance
J'hésite un peu là, parce que ce sont des souvenirs anciens (6 ans). Tu ne risques rien à aller jeter un coup d'oeil si tu passes dans le secteur.
Dans le Dorsoduro, tout au bout du Zattere en tournant le dos à l'Accademia, il y a un petit resto (si tu continues toujours tout droit tu rentres dedans). Ce fut ma cantine pendant des années, il ne paye pas de mine, mais on y mange (mangeait ?) très bien pour un prix tout à fait raisonnable, leurs spaghetti à l'encre de seiche en particulier sont (étaient?) un pur régal. En plus étant à l'écart des grands flux de touristes on y croise (croisait?) des vénitiens et quelques étranges spécimens "d'habitués de Venise".
J'y suis passé l'an dernier à Noël mais il était fermé (comme beaucoup de restaurants vénitiens isolés à cette date).
😉 Les meilleurs pizza de la ville sont Ai sportivi. Dorsoduro3052, campo Santa Margherita.
Tel : 041 5211598
Toutes les pizza sont garnies de mozzarella di bufala ! Leur spécialité : Paradiso : tomate, bressaola, grana. Tu dois gouter ABSOLUEMENTTTTTTTTT !!
Ce sont des amis de Venise qui m'ont donné cette adresse. C'est dur de devoir parler de Mozzarella de Bufle devant un ordinateur froid Snif!
Racontes nous à ton retour !!
buon Apetito !!
chap
PS : ce n'est pas hors des sentiers batus mais c'est une tres bonne adresse.
salut, j'arrive peut etre un peu tard mais bon, j'habite depuis 4 ans a mestre la ville qui touche venise, et j'ai une pizzeria a te recommandé chaudement.
Pour cela tu doit te rendre a mestre. Il te suffit de prendre un bus piazzale roma (c le terminus des bus a venise)
Tu prend le bus numero 2 ou 7 en direction de mestre(20 min a peu pres) et tu descend au niveau d'un grand magazin de location de video qui se nomme BLOCKBUSTER tu ne peut pas le raté la devantur es bleu et jaune et il es bien visible.
Une fois descendu tu es a 3 min a pied.
Alors tu demande la pizzeria "al mandrillo" dans la via murri.
C la meilleur pizzeria du veneto et un tres bon rapport qualité prix.
Je te conseil la pizza A4 (tomate, carpaccio de boeuf, ruccola, cepes cru) en aperitif demande un spritz a l'aperole, et en digestif demande un scropino......... tu verra vous passerez un tres bon moment.
Tu peut meme dire au patron(toujours en jean et tablier blanc) que tu vient de la part de francais qui habite en face. Tu sera tres bien recu fait moi confiance.
Voila bon sejour.
un tout grand merci pour le tuyau, ce n'est pas trop tard, on part vendredi, et comme on s'est un peu gouré ds les dates, on reste jusque lundi soir, alors on aura bien le temps d'y aller.
c cool alors bon sejour et tient moi au courant si vous y etes aller.
Et en meme temps je te donne le numero de francseco c un taxi au black(il es un peu bizarre, mais tres bon marché par rapport au taxi italien) si tu en a besoin n'hesite pas dit lui que tu vient de la part des cuisinier de l'orient-express et tu peut l'appeller a toute heure(le hic c qu'il parle pas tres bien francais) 0039335283173
on c jamais ca peut servir
ciao et bueno viaggio
merci, et si tu connais un endroit sympa où sortir le soir avec de la bonne musique rock tu peux ns le dire . super, j'espère qu'il ne pleut pas trop....
bien sur, De toute facon a venise tu n'a que le "casanova" et le "picollo mondo" (mais c tres tecno, danse et un peu de r&b) comme boite de nuit.
Par contre essaye comme bar le café blue(ils font des concerts) et le coin es frequenté le soir et j'ai un bonne endroit a te proposer dans venise c le paradisio perduto c super simpa, tu peut y manger plein de specialité, et le soir c une bonne animation, avec les venitiens et quelque touriste qui connaissent l'adresse.
Pour ce qui es du rock il y'a le "magic bus" tu doit prendre le taxi, et une boite a coté de la gare de mestre j'ai oublié le nom face a la gare de mestre, tu part sur ta droite c a 500m. Ah si ce "radio compagnie" ji es ete 2 fois es c que du rock, vieux ou moderne, tres simpa comme ambiance mais petit....
voila
Salut tous!
Continuez à nous donner des adresses sympa à Venise c'est gentil et utile 😎 (même si brigou sera déjà revenu de son séjour là-bas!).
La seule chose que j'ai regretté à Venise c'est la difficulté à trouver des restaus sympas (autre chose que l'habituelle cantine à touristes moche bruyante😐, "tourist menu" clignotant à l'entrée 😕, éclairée sauvagement au néon 🤪où on te fait avaler un plat de pates à 15 euros en 25 min top chrono 😠).
On a trouvé qq endroits bien pour manger mais c'était plutôt dur (sans doute à cause de la géographie de la ville, il faut connaitre pour trouver le bon restau au détour de la 3e petite ruelle à gauche!)
Salut "les brigou " à l heure ou je me connecte vous serez surement rentrés de venise et j'attend vos infos avec impatience car nous y partons pour le carnaval le 28 fevrier 2006.😉
coucou, nous on a bien aimé le campo santa margarita avec la pizzeria conseillée par chap. sur cette place et ds les environs il y a des petits cafés sympas.
pas loin il y a le blue café et le café noir havanah.
voilà mais pour la période de carnaval ça risque de ne pas être triste, fin janvier il y avait encore pas mal de choses fermées.
bon amusement, venise est vraiment très belle
Merci pour le retour de courrier. Alors comment avez vous trouvé venise ? Quel moyen de transport avez vous pris? Y a til vraiment tant de monde ? Ce lundi sur la 3 il y a eu une emmission sur le carnaval de venise. !!!! On se demande si nous n'avons pas fait une betise, nous qui aimons tellement le calme, voir des trotoirs ou il faut marcher en sens unique :o( je sens que je vais faire mes photos le nuit:o).
Allez @+
évidemment, en péiode de carnaval c'est bondé.... sinon il fau se predre dans les quartiers pas touristiqe. comme toutes les villes italiennes, c'est superbe. si tu as l'occasion, il faut aller à burano et aussivoir le cimetière.
on marche beaucoup, c'est le meilleur moyen de se déplacer. sinon on a aussi pris un pass pour un jour ( 24h) sur les vaporetto, cela revient à 10 euros 50 par personnes. mais en période de carnaval cela doit valoir la peine.... amusez-vous bien
Merci: ben voila le départ est pour dans 15 jours mais on vous racontera tout ca de retour et surement avec qq centaines de photos. On les mettra en ligne sur notre site catalogue www.jojp13.free.fr/catalogue et si marseille et sa région vous interesse n'hesitez pas à nous contacter ou aller voir notre site www.marseille-maville.fr.st plus de 800 photos vous y attendent.
Merci encore et à plus. De toute maniere je passe tous les jours sur le forum.
Salut, j'ai encore une question idiote à poser !!! les prises de courant en italie pour charger les appareils photos ??? comment sont elles. Avez vous eu des problemes pour vous brancher ?
Merci
jojp

We're heading to Genoa and the Cinque Terre in mid-October for a full week. We're planning to spend two and a half days—three nights—in the Cinque Terre. The idea is to hike between the villages and use the train (or boat) for the trip out (or back). We're thinking of staying overnight, and I was wondering which village to prioritize.
From January 1st to 4th, I’m heading to Barcelona for the first time. Beyond the tourist sites—which are going to cost me an arm and a leg!!—I’d love to spend a day off the beaten path and see some less touristy spots.
What do you recommend? I’ll be getting around on foot, by metro, or possibly by train if it’s not too far. I love both nature and cultural spots.
And one last thing—is Barcelona at night safe for a woman alone, or is it sketchy?
We’re traveling next summer with our three kids, ages 9 to 15. We’ll arrive in Cork by ferry with our car. We’d like to stay several nights at each stop to settle in, take our time, and stay flexible depending on the weather!
What do you think of this 18-day itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrival around 9:30 AM, drive to Kinsale to visit the village and Charles Fort, then accommodation
- Day 2: Blarney Castle + Cork, then accommodation
- Day 3: Travel to Kenmare (stopping at Gougane Barra?)
- Day 4: Glengariff and surrounding area
- Day 5: Healy Pass + southern Beara
- Day 6: Gap of Dunloe + Kenmare and Reenagross Park
- Day 7: Dursey Island
- Day 8: Killarney National Park
- Day 9: Travel to Clare (stopping at Bunratty)
- Day 10: Kilkee + Loop Head
- Day 11: The Burren
- Day 12: Aran Islands
- Day 13: Travel day to Connemara (stopping at Roundstone and Dog’s Bay or via Galway?)
- Day 14: Clifden + Sky Road + beach
- Day 15: Diamond Hill
- Day 16: Kylemore Abbey + Killary Fjord
- Day 17: Drive back to Cork (stopping at Cahir)
- Day 18: Departure
Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.
Hi,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
Hi everyone, we’re a group of 11 people (including 3 kids under 4) who’d like to do a wine tasting tour starting from Florence (we haven’t rented a car) in Chianti.
We’re looking for an organized tour that leaves from Florence and lets the adults do some wine tasting (and olive oil tasting if possible).
For those who’ve done this tour, do you have any suggestions for tour names that organize these kinds of events? What should we look out for before booking these tours?
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
We’re heading to Rome from 21/09, arriving in the early afternoon, and returning on 28/09, leaving in the morning. We’ve already booked our flight tickets and our accommodation in the city center: Via Ezio.

Saturday 26:
Aventine and Testaccio neighborhoods, the Capuchin Crypt.
Sunday 27:

Are any days too packed, or should we add more visits?
Thanks for your input and help!
Cheers!
Anne
Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
