    Getting TO/AROUND: MARCO POLO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:

    Venice's Marco Polo International Airport is situated approximately 25 minutes away from the city. The airport is served by buses, trains and cabs.... and car rental companies.

    If you're heading towards the direction of Piazza San Marco (like us), I'd highly recommend that you take the boat for approx. US$10.00. What's more, you'll get to enjoy a panoramic view of the Venetian lagoon during your 40-minute ride.

    The vaporetto, or water bus is the most practical way to get around Venice when you don't feel like walking. It's more economical to take these water taxis when you have a group of 5 or more people.... or have extra money to burn.

    P.S. Just remember, when boarding the vaporetto at a stop that doesn't have a ticket booth, immediately request the vaporetto driver for a biglietto (ticket). Otherwise, you'll be subject to a fine.

    Not kidding.

     Harry's sounds pricey, but we will have to at least get a bellini! Thanks for a great tip and detail!

     I especially like the tip about staying in a slightly off the beaten path hotel and walking home late at night with the sounds of the waters . . . great page, Krystynn!

     Now that you live in Milan, those incredibly rakish Italian men would be ACTUAL Armani models :)
