Venice Reviews

I have been to Venice four times, and it is a wonderful place to visit.  The best part is just wandering around and finding beautiful canals everywhere.  The further you get off the tourist paths, the more interesting places you can find.  You will get lost, but enjoy it! — — A visit to Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) is a great way to start a trip.  The people holding the pigeons is a little gross, but the atmosphere is wonderful.  If you have lots of money, it is probably nice to sit in the square and people watch (sitting will probably cost you 20… read full review »

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! — — Upon my mother's insistence, I reluctantly scheduled Venice into our trip this past summer but now it ranks the top of my list of favourite European cities!  By the end of our visit, I felt that the 3 days/2 nights that we spent there was not enough. — — We travelled as a family of four, including my two school-age children.  It was a challenge finding reasonably-priced accomodation with Quad rooms that could fit the four of us together but I finally did at US$250 per night (that's cheap for a European city Quad room!).  The… read full review »

I would reccommend Venice to everyone, it was better than in all the pictures, easy to get around, I was nervous before going about the maze of side alleys and traveling on thevaporettos - just like a bus or subway.  the food was fantastic, all the designer stores were amazing, I loved the Murano glass makers, have enough glass for years now, everyone loves the Murano glass ring and it was only 10 euros.  I had to have a real masque, cost almost as much to ship it home as the price itself but it's one of those things you will always remember  we took a side trip by train to… read full review »

If there was a place in the world I would reccommend you to go to it would be Venice. Venice is fantastic, it is very easy to get around, traveling on thevaporettos is just like taking a subway. Italian food is the best, shopping is great and inexpensive, specially everything made of Murano glass. If you can afford it, take a gondola ride it is worth every euro you pay for it. Would go to Venice over and over again! — … read full review »

Venice, even for a non-Italian is a wonderful experience. It was the second city of five that I went to in Italy and probably my favorite. It is really easy to get around, with the water buses and cabs, and you could walk around the whole city if you chose to. It is beautiful, with amazing architecture and canals. It is definitely an old city, but it is slowly adding modernizations behind that gorgeous… read full review »

My husband and I were married just outside of Venice in Verona, Italy.  I adore Venice - the shopping, food, and sight-seeing are amazing.  I am often frustrated by how crowded it is, though, even in the "off-season."  Also, I am orientation-challenged, and it is very easy to get lost.  Be prepared to… read full review »
