Venezia (Venice) is without doubt one of the most fascinating cities in Europe and a must see activity in it's entirety -though don't go in summer! As you won't see anything for people; it was bad enough when I went in April. It was from here that Marco Polo set sail for China and it is just packed with historical sites. The town itself really is an open air museum. Remember it's sinking so get in there while you can! Venezia is built on 117 small islands and has about 150 canals. The city is divided into 6 sections (sestieri) which are :Canaregio, Castello, San Marco, Dorsoduro, San Polo and Santa Croce. Beware because there is no logic to the street numbers so you can get lost easily; as I did upon arrival in the middle of the night looking for our hostel! There are no cars in the city, you either have to walk, get a train or take to the canals. However, the water Taxi's are VERY expensive and the Vaporettos are expensive too (as are Gondolas).

The Biggest of the many canals that run through Venezia. When I went in Easter it DID NOT SMELL AT ALL! The Rialta Bridge also passes over this lovely blue green canal and many of the most interesting sights can be found along it's banks. The best way to see it is from the top of the Rialta bridge or from the luxury of you're own private Gondola!

Thanks for comments on our Budapest page. Your Venice page looks very nice :-) | Mikebond Fri Sep 16, 2005 15:22 UTC
Vivo bastante próximo de Venezia, una ciudad que sólo les gusta a los extranjeros! En Veneto (un "t") no tenemos una buena idea de Venezia. Pero ¡no está cerca de la frontera (150 kms)! | rwlittle Sun Jan 30, 2005 19:36 UTC
Great tips and photos...hope to visit myself some day! | CALSF Tue Jan 25, 2005 06:15 UTC
I love Venice although it's highly expensive and crowded. But it's unique and I wish to return soon. Nice start to your page. ~Cheryl~ |
