Basic orientation
Venezuela on the map with Caracas, Spanish and the sovereign bolívar
A first reference for locating Venezuela in South America and identifying essential facts before researching a trip.
Venezuela is in South America and has a coastline: it is not a landlocked country. To begin planning, it helps to note three simple reference points—Caracas, Spanish and the Venezuelan sovereign bolívar—and then check up-to-date information for each practical decision.
Location and capital
Venezuela is in South America, and its capital is Caracas. These facts help locate the country on a map, but they are not enough to plan a route: the information available here does not detail regions, distances within the country or transport connections.
Language and currency
The language listed for the country is Spanish. The currency recorded is the Venezuelan sovereign bolívar, with the symbol Bs.S. Since monetary information and payment conditions can change, check the latest information before planning expenses or transactions.

This information sheet is a starting point, not a practical travel guide. It does not provide entry requirements, safety conditions, prices, schedules or transport options.
