Buy a Suitcase and Baggage in Venice

It is essential to have a good suitcase while in Venice if you do not want to spoil your vacation or injure your back.

Because in Venice, almost everything is traveled by foot and to go from the vaporetto up to your hotel, not only you will have to roll your suitcase on often very uneven pavings but also go up and take down dozens of bridge steps.

One might as well say that if your suitcase is of medium quality, there is every chance to depart from Venice without its castors or with you limping!

Know nevertheless that you will always be able to contact in Danilo Pastorello a rare craftsman who, besides being a very good shoemaker, is also an authorized Samsonite repairman.

But if Danilo's talents are not enough and your dear suitcase is beyond repair or if you have visited all boutiques which we recommended to you, you will unquestionably need an additional traveling bag or a suitcase to take back all your purchases undamaged and in a more reliable manner than to trust the not very delicate and extremely slow Italian post office with your fragile packages, where we had a rather unpleasant experience.

But to find a good suitcase in Venice becomes as rare as to find a serious music store, a roof space for the city of Vivaldi and Monteverdi. Certainly, you will find dozens stores which will give you suitcases cheap and manufactured in Asia, but you will take the chance of losing all your castors on the first bridge!
