Hello
Please do remember that May is the peak season in Venice. Even during other times, Venice is one of the most expensive cities to find accomodation.
In case you havent decided where to stay, I suggest the following
Casa Martini on Rio Tera San Leonardo & Locanda Casa alla Fenice on rio terra degli assassini, Both are very quaint and fantastic staying experience at about 50euros a night and if dont care to stay right in the middle try Locanda Conterie on the Murano Island this will cost about 30 to 40 Euros a night and it is a super place to stay. Off the tourist trac and it is a pleasure. Murano is the glass blowing centre of venice and if you stay there, you will get to hang around the workshops long after the tourists are all gone there are also a couple of quaint chruches near buy.
Dont be stuck with all the fantastic places just in venice. I think if you are a roadie and would like to exprience the place, leave venice and stay and visit the villages and town around. I think it is a good true Italian experience. Being in Venice itself and seeing the sites is vert touristy and should be quickly done with. Another point is that if there are any specific sites you would like to see, get on the web and book atime. There are ques at many of the main attractions and booking a time will help you by not having to wait in ques.
One good pastime in Venice will be to count the number of Lions or heads of lions that you will see all over the city. You will be amazed how many you can count. In case you need more specfic info on the towns and villages around vence do let me know. I will write in a while about Paris.Private Reply to Anand Pakkurti (new win) |
