City Breaks & Travel Deals To Venice, Europe
The wonderfully romantic city of Venice is known worldwide for its beautiful canals, fabulous architecture and interesting history. Thousands of visitors book city breaks to Venice and throng the streets of the central area in the peak season, taking advantage of the great photo opportunities that abound on every street corner. From the steps of St Mark's Basilica to the Venetian Riviera, there is something in Venice for everyone. The city is famous for its many churches, dozens of museums and picturesque canals with their gondolas moored alongside traditional houses. The excellent regional cuisine is another reason to stop by Venice on an Italian trip, and the bistros and restaurants are a great place to stop to gather energy after a day exploring the quaint back streets and canals of the city. Vacations in Venice are not cheap, but with a little bit of expertise tourists can keep the costs down, or splurge and sample the best the city has to offer.
During a city break in Venice, there is plenty to see and do, and travelers will need a few days to cover it all. The first point of call for many is the "Basilica of San Marco", in Piazza San Marco. The fabulous church is free to enter, although there is a fee for the museum. Following that, tourists will usually take a water taxi or a romantic gondola ride through the canals and past the beautiful architecture of Venice. The Grand Canal is a popular spot for a boat ride, especially at sunset. Once back on land, visitors should check out some of the many museums and galleries in Venice - many of which are in the Piazza San Marco. A bulk ticket can be purchased and will enable free entry to many of the museums in the square, which include "Doges Palace" and the interesting "Correr Museum". The "Bell Tower of Saint Mark" is also worth a look.
As far as accommodation is concerned, the cheapest of cities Venice is not, but there are a few budget options for those traveling on a shoestring. A number of decent 1-star hotels exist in the city, including the Hotel Messner, the Domus Cavanis and the Locanda Fiorita, all of which are centrally located and offer pretty good amenities for a 1 star vacation property. Those planning city breaks to Venice on a mid-range budget will also have plenty of choice - the Hotel Marconi right on the Grand Canal is a great choice, as is the Hotel Dell'Opera, which is kitted out in traditional boutique style. The Hotel San Moise is also a nice option and boasts a quiet courtyard at which guests can enjoy their breakfast. Finally, voyagers who have plenty of cash to splash can book a room in one of the luxury hotels in the city like the Hotel Metropole, which doesn't disappoint even the most picky traveler, and neither does the splendid Hotel Danieli with its traditional décor.
The city boasts some lovely open air markets - the "Rialto Market" is great for shopping, as is the farmers market for local fare. All visitors should take the time to sample some excellent local cuisine while vacation in Venice. The outdoor restaurants at the Rialto Bridge offer some fabulous settings for a romantic meal, but voyagers have to be prepared for some high prices to accompany almost any decent meal in Venice. Finally, those staying in the city for longer than three days may wish to consider a trip somewhere out of the city limits. Lake Garda is a short train journey away and boasts some absolutely beautiful scenery, and a trip to the Lido in the summer can be a great way to escape the city heat and relax on the beach. Some may also wish to explore the neighboring islands off the city, which include Murana and Burano.
