Francesco La Porta has lived in Paris for many years, but he is originally from Venice. Earlier this year, he opened a restaurant in the French capital that has brought a little slice of his hometown to the city. Osteria Goto recreates the concept of a traditional Venetian bar - known as a bacaro - with typical food and drink. Even the name recalls the canal city - ‘goto’ is Venetian dialect for glass. Bacari are beloved, idiosyncratic places in Venice where you’re guaranteed to find a version of the city still untainted by overtourism and over-commercialisation. Here’s how to identify a bacar...

The Venice Film Festival’s artistic director Alberto Barbera has unveiled the line-up for the official competition of this year’s 81st festival, and it’s a starry affair that should make up for the lack of red carpet A-lister moments last year due to the Hollywood writers and actors’ strike. The festival has steadily gained the reputation for being an awards season launchpad, and the line-up this year confirms this, with the likes of Pablo Larraín, Pedro Almodóvar, Justin Kurzel and Luca Guadagnino. Scroll down for the full line-up. Some of the hottest tickets will be Todd Phillips’ return to ...

I’m sitting on a squishy, low-slung chair in Venice Marco Polo airport lounge. There’s a distant view of the canal city from the big glass windows and I’m drinking a sunset-coloured spritz with a plate of ‘cicchetti’ or traditional Venetian snacks. I’m normally a budget traveller who would consider an airport lounge an unaffordable luxury. I know many people think like me, so I talked to Christopher Evans, CEO of lounge network Priority Pass, about why he thinks it’s worth it for a stress-reducing start or end to a holiday. How COVID has changed airport habitsTravel and the travel industry hav...

Venice's tourist tax trial earned the lagoon city €2.2 million, so why is it being branded a 'failure'? “The ticket is a failure, as demonstrated by city data,” says Giovanni Andrea Martini, an opposition city council member. The daytripper fee drew many opponents over the years it took the city to get it up and running. After years of delays, some due to Covid, visitors have been charged €5 on 29 days this year, mostly weekends and holidays. Authorities have said the levy will continue and could be doubled for 2025, bringing it up to €10. Did the tax help to combat overtourism?Over the weeken...

New research by Italian scientists estimates that parts of Venice will be submerged by 2150. The study was carried out by experts at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) and analysed data on tide level rise. Venice has been battling increasingly frequent flooding for decades. There is now a system of flood barriers in place in its lagoon, a shallow, 550 km² enclosed bay in the northern Adriatic Sea that surrounds Venice and its islands. But these won’t be enough to protect the city from continual sinking and sea level rise. Venice will be underwater by 2150A team of scie...
