Venice - getting to there from the airport

by mgilmore , Dec 06 '01
Pros: Gorgeous architecture. Great food.
Cons: Can be expensive.
I recently returned from a 3-week fly/drive trip of Italy with my sister. We travelled from top to bottom and Venice remains, in my mind, the one place I would really love to re-visit. This is the first of several reviews, including places to stay in...

How shall I describe thee ...?

by Juliejules , Aug 09 '01
Pros: Beauty visualized and projected
Cons: Are you kidding? None (ok I'm sure there must be)
Let me tell you something old and new. I just love Venice. I really do.

The first time I visited, I was sixteen years old, but what can you appreciate at that age. Maybe just the ice cream, if that, and let’s face it there are other ice...

Venice Once in Your Life

by andymcc28 , Oct 02 '02
Pros: Fairytale city, unique, historic, atmospheric, fantastic
Cons: Very expensive accommodation
My wife and I managed to escape to Italy for 7 days, 3 of which we spent in Venice (Sept 2002). My expectations were mixed having read many reviews on Epinions and Fodors, but I must say there is no place on earth like Venice. It is a city of palaces,...

Venice, Pedestrian's delight

by hbomb111 , May 14 '00
Pros: good food, compact city, not hard to get around
Cons: water taxis were fairly expensive and ferries were crowded
Venice is a truly stange and fantastic city. For one, it is an island city. This is not so strange, in and of itself. However, it is built on over 100 islands. To my knowledge, this is fairly unique :).
Cars, from what I could tell, are...

Bellissima Serenissima!!

by ladygumby , Oct 24 '03
Pros: Romantic, extremely safe, no cars or motorized vehicles of any type
Cons: Too many tourists, excessive commercialization, high water, maps are useless for the most part
As it presently stands, I have been to Venice 4 times and plan to return a minimum of 4 more times in the near future!! Though all of my trips were solo ones, I've never felt lonely and always managed to find a bit of romance along the way. My first t ...

a breath of modern art

by jeliza , Mar 15 '00
Pros: change from rest of italy, escape from cars
Cons: can be tourist flooded, not cheap
I visited Venice as part of a fairly typical summer art tour of Italy. There is much wonderful art to see all over Italy, but only in Venice do you have the option of seeing large quantities of excellent modern art. And, of course, the Venetian painters...

Venice-the magical city

by eveegiven , Nov 05 '01
Pros: Beautiful and unique surroundings, a variety of fun or romantic things to do.
Cons: The weather and prices can catch you off guard.
The Atmosphere of Venice
In Venice, you always feel like you're in a movie, or a dream. Everything seems too unreal, the gondolas, the outdoor restaurants, or the water filled streets. That is probably one of the reasons why Venice is my favourite...

I wouldn't want to swim in it, but...

by jnoonan , Jan 12 '00
Pros: endlessly charming and unlike anyplace on earth
Cons: expensive; not for anyone counting on wheels
Hundreds of years ago, there used to be an annual race that ran the distance of Venice's Grand Canal, arguably one of the most fantastic streets (so to speak) in the world. Lord Byron, the English Romantic poet, was one of its more well-known...

Pros: Great art and architecture. A gem in a wonderful setting.
Cons: Can be expensive ( but worth the cost).
Venice September /October 97 Trip

First let me say that I was not really looking forward to visiting Venice. I had heard all the horror stories about the crowds, the smells, the heat and the high prices and I’m not really big on medieval /...

Magical

by wisecat , Aug 10 '00
Pros: Beautiful architecture, peaceful back streets
Cons: You can get ripped off, only one public toilet, so you have to use the ones in the cafes.
Myself and my ex went to Venice on our honeymoon a few years ago. It was June, and the heat was in the 90's. But there were plenty of little cafes down narrow streets where you could sit outside and cool down with one of those huge and uniquely Italian...

Pros: very romantic, plenty to see and do
Cons: lots and lots of walking, dirty water in the canals
Venice was my absolute favorite city in Italy. The only thing that would have made it better was a special someone to share the romance with. So here we are...my last journal excerpts of this amazing trip...
