Weekend Itinerary

Q + A

If I am coming in from out-of-state, where should I fly to?

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is the closest airport, about 30 minutes from Venice.&nbsp;Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) is smaller with less flight availability, but is about 35 minutes from Venice. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is in Fort Myers and takes about 1 hour to drive to Venice. Tampa International Airport (TPA) and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) are great options but slightly farther away, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. You can always consider Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach. However, expect a longer drive to Venice from these airports.

Lodging

For those traveling in, there are plenty of lodging options available in Venice and surrounding areas. We recommend using Expedia, AirBNB, and VRBO to book your stay.

Travel

Stroll through the charming streets of Historic Downtown Venice, where Italian-inspired architecture, boutique shopping, and local dining create a perfect coastal getaway. Just minutes from the beach, this walkable district offers a blend of history, culture, and small-town charm, making it a must-visit destination.

Historic Downtown Venice, FL

Enjoy locally crafted beers at 3 Bridges Brewing, a welcoming Venice spot known for its rotating selection of small-batch brews. With a relaxed atmosphere and a passion for quality beer, it’s the perfect place to unwind with friends or try something new. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth lagers, or creative seasonal flavors, there’s something on tap for everyone! (Bonus: they have some of the best smash burgers in town!)

Where it all started for Casey and Joe! Enjoy great food, strong cocktails, and beautiful waterfront views at Pop's Sunset Grill. We recommend the Pop's Punch and Grouper Reuben!
