How do I meet people in Venice?
When we asked people living in Venice about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats in Venice often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. These include language exchange groups, where they can practice their Italian and help locals with English. They may also join cooking classes to learn about traditional Venetian cuisine, or art classes to explore the city's rich artistic heritage. Book clubs are another popular choice, offering a chance to discuss literature in a relaxed, social setting. For those interested in sports, joining a local gym or sports club can be a great way to meet people. There are also numerous cultural societies and organizations that expats can join, such as the Venice International Women's Club, which organizes regular events and activities. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or studies. Networking events and business meetups can be a good way to make professional connections. Similarly, attending local festivals and events can provide opportunities to meet locals and other expats. Volunteering is another excellent way to meet people and give back to the community. There are many charities and non-profit organizations in Venice that welcome the help of expats. Finally, simply exploring the city and striking up conversations with locals can lead to new friendships. Whether it's chatting with the owner of a local café, or getting to know the neighbors, there are plenty of opportunities to meet people in Venice," commented one expat who made the move to Venice, Italy.
