Do not exitate to write the association to get a list of albergues and hotels where to sleep! the list is gaven in italian but is easy to understand.

Enjoy the Camino!!

Hi. Could you tell me how to get started on this route? I am actually asking for my son who happens to be in Venice now, and doesn't know where to start. He evidently needs a Credential or Camino passport first, but he doesn't know where he get one in Venice. Do you have any suggestions?

 

[SYates]

Calm down, your son will do fine! A pilgrims passport is useful in Italy but not compulsory. Really, he will do fine ;-) Buen Camino, SY

 

[Max Kacan]

Thank you for the affirmation. When I talked to him, this was the last issue adding up to chain of frustrations. He is 21 and inexperienced in many ways. I am hoping he will return with more maturity and confidence.

Also he can just use a small paper notebook to collect stamps alongside the way, perhaps with his details / planned route on the first page. That way he has a souvenir for himself. Buen Camino, SY

We will be in Milan next week and now plan to hike this trail but towards Venice from south of Milan. Are there any tips that you could give us as to if the trail is marked and if being on the path in November will be problematic. In addition, are there any other route maps available?
Thank you!
