There are a lot of ways how to start this blog post for ex. The city of love or City on the water, … I am sure that you already have a hitch regarding which place content below will be, I hope you will get inspired by our time in Venice, Italy. We visited Venice on road trip we took last summer true Europe. We had two nights, one full day at this amazing place. We planned our time, so we were able to make the most of that one day. At this short trip, idea was to do and see as much as possible and not to feel stressed – recipe is simple, plan your time there before.
Where to stay
It is quite tricky to find a stay in Venice that would match criteria of the most. You want to be central but at what cost? The prices in the city center are quite expensive, and not as reachable. Especially if you are traveling with a car and you need a place that would provide you to park the car that is easily accessible and not costing a fortune. Try Best Western Quid Hotel near the Airport, approximately 10km from city center. Do not hesitate because of the distance, just on the main street by the hotel is a Bus station from which there is direct connection to Venice city center for less than 3 Euro cost. All the information’s regarding Bus transportation or other you can require at the front desk in the BW Quid Hotel. Hotel is signed in red color and modern design with artistic note. At the start it assimilates a lot to Ibis hotel, which is comforting for a traveler, you feel like you know what to expect. Just under the Hotel there is underground private garage. In the evening is really pleasant to enjoy in their bar, especially in summer to chill on the terrace. Service is more than friendly, and it is a perfect space to plan your trip in Venice.
Explore Venice
First off, don’t expect to see the whole Venice in a day or two. Choose what do you really want to see, this city has 450 bridges, 120 islands, countless little curved streets and insane number of touristic – historic spots. When it comes to plan your trip at Venice it is easy to make it one day, just get ready to walk a lot and set clear destinations and things you want to see. We did 16 km in one day on foot! Pack some additional bottles of water, hat and SPF lotion in summer can be useful to protect you from strong sun and try to hide in shade of many allies of the town. Venice are a perfect destination for wanderlust souls, history and architecture lovers. This town built on water is just one of a kind must see thing in life. There is no special recipe what to do in this town, just follow the signs on the buildings that will eventually lead you true all monuments, over the bridges to St. Mark’s square. But of course, do not miss: Ponte di Rialto, Ponte dei Sospiri, Torre dell’Orologio, Basilica di San Marco, Canal Grande, … I you do not like to stand in the line try buying tickets in advance and book some tour guiding for the best possible experience and a history story telling.
We saved the best for the last, Gondola ride. Make sure you take the Gondola near the St. Mark’s square, to be able to go under the Ponte dei Sospiri and to join Canal Grande. It is one of the kind experiences, and how often will you get the chance to do that? So, prepare to pay the price, word of advice it is the same price everywhere so do not search for cheaper offer or to bargain. If you do not feel like spending too much money for Gondola ride you can buy tickets before entering the town for the public transportation and experience this town on the water. If you are there for more than one day try to plan an afternoon trip on some of the closet islands. Famous and most popular glass making Murano island is perfect for some presents buying but Burano island is also worth a visit. This city is amazing and it has more than you can imagine to offer. Just take enough time to enjoy in elements you love the most. Do not forget you are in Italy and that you will enjoy in amazing cuisine. Pizza, pasta and gelato everywhere! Take some time in the evening to observe reflections of the city lights from the water. Relax in a nice restaurant by beautiful sound of Italian music and glass of wine and just enjoy in dolce far niente and bond with all the elements.
