"Venice" Venice by Martin_S.


Venice Travel Guide: 10,122 reviews and 21,054 photos

When Lorenzo and Alsi invited us to Italy to be with them, one of the places that we decided on visiting was Venice. Now that we have been there with them, we need to go back and spend some more time with them there.

What would be a visit to Venice without seeing the world famous gondolas. But if you travel budget, then actually taking a ride on one of these is out of your reach.

The Rialto is one of the largest of the three bridges crossing the Grand canal in Venice. There are numerous water taxis that you can take a various points to cross or you can take the water bus.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:A city like no other in the world.
  • Cons:Too expensive to stay there
  • In a nutshell:A visit of 3-4 days is needed.
  • Last visit to Venice: Jul 2003

    YES! Always take your children along during your travels. I do agree! Only for the education of other cultures and languages is one reason to do so. The smile on their faces is another. A site well done!
