Is the cost of living in Venice high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Venice, they wrote...

"Living in Venice, is generally considered to be quite expensive. The cost of housing is high, especially in the more desirable areas of the city. Renting a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite costly, while outside the city center, it can be somewhat less expensive. The cost of groceries and dining out is also high in Venice. A meal at an inexpensive restaurant can be pricey, and a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant can be even more expensive. Groceries are also more expensive than in many other parts of Italy, with basic items such as bread, milk, and eggs costing more than average. Transportation costs can also add up, especially if you frequently use the city's iconic gondolas or water taxis. Public transportation, such as the vaporetto (water bus), is less expensive but still costs more than public transportation in many other cities. Utilities, including electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage, are also quite expensive in Venice. Internet and mobile services are comparatively cheaper but still higher than in many other European cities. Overall, the cost of living in Venice is high compared to many other cities in Italy and Europe. Despite this, many people are drawn to the city's unique charm, rich history, and vibrant culture," wrote a member who made the move to Venice, Italy.
