How much money will I need for a trip to Venice/Lake Garda?

Question

I am going Garda/Venice in a few weeks with my husband and am a bit worried about finances as people keep telling me how ridiculously expensive it is. We are going to Garda for 4 days then Venice for 2. Excluding accomodation how much money can I expect to need while we're there? I don't want to blow the budget massively but also don't want to be penny pinching the whole time.

Answer 1

its always nice to have a plastic card for back up you can use your normal credit card but I couldn't justify spending more than £300 for 6 days even though a lot of countries are using the euro as an excuse for doubling charges, query them.

Answer 2

don't warry so much, just ask for the prices before bying anything, buy food at the shops and mostly bring water...you won't spend more than 50 euro a day, enjoying your stay.

Coffe is 85 euro cents, cappuccino 1,25...brioche 70, sandwich can cost 3 euro, piece of good pizza the same, museum from 3 to 7 - 8 euro. The central places are more expencieve, what costs the most is if you sit. Toilettes are available every public place. ask if you need more informations

Answer 3

I'm afraid they are both very expensive. As the last answer said, take some plastic for back-up
