Living with a child in Venice

[eveline]

Hello,

My partner and I and our little daughter will be living in Venice Dec 08 and Jan, Feb 09 -has anyone had a similar experience in Venice? Are there any English speaking ex-pat groups in Venice and/or does anyone know of any good children activites in Venice? Thank you for any assistance.

kind regards,

Ev

I've not lived there (only visited) so can't help i that way but a book your daughter may enjoy is Daughter of Venice. I don't know how old your daughter is, it's written on a 4th - 5th grade level. Have fun.

Hi. We are American ex-pats recently moved to Venice in January 08. Do you know where you will be living? Definitely get in touch with us if you like, we can show you around.

hi Karen,

we will be living for 3 months in Cannaregio. We'd love to get in touch with you. I will contact you closer to the date. We will be in Paris for 3 months before coming to Venice. At the moment, we have no other means of contact then by this forum or email.

Thank you

Venice is a great place but I can imagine, not a lot of fun for a child after the initial pleasure of seeing a city on water. Its rather an adult destination to my mind and a child may get bored. There is a beach on venice lido and Lido di Jesolo (not far away), but for obvious reasons few green parks or play areas in venice. There are a number of ex pats out there.
