Venice ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience
What our students said about Venice
A crumbling dream, past and yet still visible greatness, a struggle against the decay that is setting in everywhere, a lively, contradictory city with a morbid flair, omnipresent art, marvellous palazzi... the masses of tourists and their sometimes unbelievably bad behaviour must be a nightmare for the Venetians.
It should be clear to everyone that a big city like Venice is not comparable in price to a small Bavarian town. However, if you don't necessarily stay in the tourist corners, you can still eat cheaply and, above all, well. The Aperol Spritz costs from €3.50 upwards....... Venice is worth a visit!
A wonderful city. On the way to school in the morning, there were almost only locals on the streets. I felt safe at all times (even at night). Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the worst days... the city is flooded with tourists.
The city does a lot to preserve the sights. Unfortunately, this also means that some monuments are not accessible. You also have to like the fact that there are always lots of tourists there.
My answers relate to the city I lived in. I lived outside of Venice, but the distance there is short and public transportation is efficient. Venice is always nice to be in.
Venice is a city that has a special aura due to its age. There are an incredible number of impressions to process, but every view is somehow beautiful, so you don't mind.
Venice is very touristy. But if you're there as a student and after a few days you find out where it's REALLY worth going, it's the most beautiful city in the world!
Anytime again, although I find the weekly ticket for the vaporetti a bit expensive (65 euros), even if the trip to Murano/Butanol is included.
I really like Venice because there is always something new to discover. A city whose history and the present are always interesting.
You have to deal with tourists who are only briefly in the city and essentially see them as a backdrop.

Teachers very friendly and knowledgeable, good location in Dorsodoro, away from the crowded centre, but many bars and restaurants around.
14 April 2025
Course: Intensive Course - 1 week
Student age: 68 years
The material was very well organised and was taught by the lecturer, Roberta, in a structured and understandable way. Even as an absolute beginner, I was able to follow the lessons. The worksheets provided (with pictures) helped me to understand the context. Standardised sentences are not taught, but the language is taught from scratch (grammar). I was able to consolidate what I had previously learnt through the homework. I would be happy to attend further courses at a later date.

Q&A - Questions about Italian courses and schools in Venice
When is the best time to visit Venice?
- If it's in relation to the course: our partner schools generally have fewer students during the year than in the summer months. September to June are therefore ideal!
- If it's a pleasant climate: the ideal periods are spring and autumn (April to June or September to October).
- If you want a quieter atmosphere: the best period is winter, from November to February (excluding Carnival).
- If you want to take advantage of Carnival: February is the best month.”
Is it possible to start in the middle of the week?
Is there a student discount on public transport?
In Venice, quite a lot of rain was announced. Is it risky to come to Venice? I am asking because of the probably high water!
word for it.
