I don’t really like to burst that bubble, but with צימרים בצפון more than 20 million tourists thronging to this island each year, Venice is a slam dunk serene or relaxing. Sure, it is an engineering miracle, encircled by calm lagoon waters, yet it’s also the most costly city in Europe for tourists and also a royal pain inside the ass to obtain around. However, there’s no denying it’s צימרים בצפון magical allure which simply have to be experienced one or more times in a very lifetime.
I visited Venice to find out if it lives up to the hype and to research the epicentre of your Venetian Empire that thrived throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Here’s my handy 2 day itinerary צימרים בצפון that covers Venetian museums, icons like Rialto Bridge and Doge’s Palace, then spends daily off the maddening crowds touring nearby islands Murano and Burano.
Getting Around Venice
Even as it comes as no surprise that boats are alter the travel Venice, I couldn’t help thinking people transport system was more technical computer system required to be.
Water taxis and gondolas charge tremendous so I recommend avoiding those preferring a water bus (vaporetto). Tickets cost a flat rate of €7.50 for 75 minutes validity (in any direction, single trip) and can be purchased with cash or credit/debit card from automated ticket machines near all ferry terminals. The touchscreen technology interface enables you to change which to English, therefore it is fairly an easy task to follow. Just don’t neglect to validate your ticket by holding it against a validation machine and expecting the green light (next towards the small gates), or you will could find an on-the-spot fine of €60 or more.
We stayed while in the most central sestieri (zone) of San Marco, which is out there via water bus from Santa Lucia stop – where most (non-cruise ship) tourists arrive. Our Airbnb host instructed us capture the red “line 2” water bus and disembark at San Marco – Giardinetti (not San Marco – San Zaccaria). What we did not know is there presently exists 2 different “line 2” water buses. Well, specifically, one “line 2” water bus plus a “line 2/” water bus with צימרים בצפון separate boarding platforms as well as stops. Eventhough it may resemble “line 2” is one water bus line, it’s not. You cannot arrive at the same stops on each similarly named line. Seriously, who designed this?
Avoiding confusion, I propose downloading the AVM Venezia app (iOS, Windows Mobile). Sorry fellow Android users, we’re out within the cold. That method for you to buy and validate tickets online, search timetables, and schedule your route by entering the actual departure and arrival points. The schedule produced with the app is less difficult to know than the printed spaghetti-inspired maps for the ferry terminals. Alternatively, Google Maps does a fair job on the general public transport with regards to directions, but I ran across the timing isn’t particularly accurate.
