Luggage storage Venice

About Venice

Situated in northeastern Italy, Venice is the capital of the Veneto region and one of the country’s most visited destinations. It’s also known as Italy’s Floating City, consisting of about 117 islands connected by a network of boat canals and footbridges. 

Only a handful of places can rival Venice's culture and individuality, which is why it’s continuously regarded as one of the world's most beautiful destinations. Venice is also relatively small, making it easy to explore, especially if you have limited time. Wind your way through the city by taking a gondola ride and discover its many hidden parts. With so much to offer in terms of art, culture, nature, and adventure, it’s no surprise that Venice attracts over 20 million tourists every year.

Go island hopping and cruise along the canals without being burdened by your heavy bags. Book luggage storage in Venice using the Bounce app to easily find and reserve a secure spot to store your non-essential bags. Take advantage of our luggage storage service to have more freedom to explore without worrying about your stuff. 

Store your luggage in Venice

Moving around Venice can be quite tricky due to its unique geography. It has waterways rather than roads, so you’ll have to cross a footbridge or go on one of the city's many water buses. Exploring the City of Canals with heavy suitcases isn’t the best idea, so drop them off in a left luggage facility before heading off on an adventure.

Instead of leaving your bags at one of the storage lockers at a bus or railway station, store them somewhere you can trust.

They include Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, and George Braque. The pieces exhibited at the museum are part of a private collection owned by Peggy Guggenheim, an American heiress, thus the facility's name.

Large bags, suitcases, backpacks, or any item that may compromise the safety of the artworks on display aren't allowed inside the gallery. To avoid any inconvenience and ensure a smooth entry, it’s best to store luggage or oversized bags in one of Bounce’s luggage storage options nearby.

This museum by the south bank of the Grand Canal is home to several art pieces from the 14th to 18th century, a majority of which are of Venetian heritage. Some of the artists featured here include Giovanni Bellini, Titian, and Paolo Veneziano.

Venice may not be the first place that comes to mind when shopping in Italy when compared to other Italian cities like Milan or Florence. But what the city offers are interesting finds and pieces from unique boutiques and local shops as well as the typical outlet stores.
