Tips for withdrawing cash in Venice
- Bank ATMs are fewer in Venice than in other cities and can run out of cash on busy weekends. Withdraw before you head into quieter districts like Castello or Cannaregio.
- Travellers report fee-free withdrawals at Banco BPM and Crédit Agricole machines in Venice. Still, check the screen before confirming.
- Vaporetto tickets and the day-tripper access fee can be paid by card, but small bacari (wine bars) often prefer cash.
- 25 April is both Liberation Day and the feast of Saint Mark, so banks are closed.
Cash at Venice’s airport and station
Airports and stations have both bank ATMs and independent machines. Independent ones, often branded Euronet, Travelex or similar, typically add a fixed fee of a few euros and offer “dynamic currency conversion”, a home-currency rate that is usually several percent worse than your card’s. If you need cash on arrival, take out a small amount from a bank ATM and use your card for the train or taxi.
Changing money in Venice
Exchange booths in tourist areas advertise “0% commission” but build their margin into the rate. You will almost always get more euros by withdrawing from a bank ATM with a low-fee card. See where to exchange money in Italy for the full comparison.
Venice’s banking history
The Banco della Piazza di Rialto, a public bank founded in 1587, made Venice one of the birthplaces of modern deposit banking.
