Casa Fornaretto, Italy

Casa Fornaretto was a nice place to stay, and cheap if you compare to other Venetian hotels, but the breakfast was a joke and the beds were a bit too hard for my back to handle.

Venice is unique place certainly worth visiting. There are no cars on the island and people really use boats for transportation. But avoid visiting Venice in July/August because it will be packed with too many tourists.

To me, Venice has been at its best outside the tourist season (surprise?). One of my favorite cities even though there isn't much to do during night time. Walking around on the narrow streets and alleys and taking a vaporetto to the nearby islands on a chilly, sunny day lets one remember the world like it was in Hemingway's books...

Murano is a nice little island just north of the Venice main city. It's certainly worth a visit because of the fun vaporetto ride but don't expect to see anything special other than numerous glass souvenir shops.

Go to Bacaro Jazz Venice! Coolest place in the city: Restaurant & Cocktail Bar open (including kitchen) until 2 AM at night; since Venice it's a pretty quite city in terms of nightlife, the Bacaro Jazz (Jazz Bar in Venitian dialect) definitely add some spice to the city!

One has to be a real masochist in order to be able to enjoy carneval time there. But great city otherwise, visit it some weekday in June.

This colorful island is close to Venice, with frequent vaporetto connection. Perfect choice for an excursion, with one or two decent restaurants.

Murano, situating very close to Venice main islands, is easily accessed by Vaporetto. Murano glass still has it's name and fame, so maybe it is wort buying a souvenier or two.

This campo is one of the most authentic parts of Venice main island. Enjoy an espresso or aperitivo while watching the locals passing by in this busy square.

Venice is a beautiful place, but instead of the maximally crowded summertime You should visit it in winter.

The ONLY way to see the Grand Canal is by a vaporetto water bus. Buy a day ticket and while you're at it, visit the nearby islands as well.

What's the best thing you can do in Venice after nightfall?

Take the euronight train to Budapest. Traveling through Trieste, Ljubljana in Slovenia and Zagreb, Croatia, it takes you to the beautiful Lake Balaton in Hungary and eventually to its capital, Budapest.

Be reminded that while the train actually leaves Schengen area so you'll be waken up some six times a night with the annoying wake up calls like "passport control".

Bacaro Jazz is a Venice Restaurant and Cocktail Bar and is one of Venice's premier night time destinations. Since 1997, the Bacaro Jazz Restaurant has been providing Venice with fine International and typical Venetian cuisine, and an amazing selection of expertly mixed cocktails.

The grandest of the canals. The grand canal is always busy and if you're in a horry it is the fastest way to get from one place to another without getting lost. The nicest places (piazzas, restaurants, etc.) are not by Canale Grande but around the smaller canals and alleys.

In Venice sometimes it pays to visit out of the way places to dine. I went to San Giacomo Square located not too far from the main train station. While enjoying dinner kids were playing soccer in the square and late a group of dance school students came out and practiced. Nice to see the real city in action.

A day at Venice was a bit too little. We didn't even make it to the St. Marcus Square in the given time.

From Venice we got to the Venice Express, a night train to Budapest, Hungary via Slovenia and Croatia. What it basically meant was you are woken up six times per night with and angry call "passport control".

Torcello is the oldest part of Venice, far from the crowds of the main island. With a magnificent Byzantine-Italian cathedral and vaporetto connection it is well worth visiting within a same excursion with Burano.

Venice is very beautiful city and worth visiting while it still exists... I wouldn't like to spend a week in here because there's many beautiful cities in northen Italy. You need time and money in Venice, and be prepared to queue everywhere because there's so much tourists. I didn't even dream about getting into any museums when I saw the crowds. The city is also a bit smelly, and first you can see a beautiful rose floating by, and the next second, a dead rat. And if you're afraid of pigeons, forget it.

During the summertime it's crowded with tourists and street sellers. One nice way to get around is to use the vaporetto water buses even though they are pretty expensive. Restaurants are rather expensive along the main streets but you can find some nice ones off the high street.

It's nice to go to Venice in winter. Cold but less crowded. Not so many tourists.

If you are looking for a classic "tourist trap", Bacaro Jazz if for you. Fake jazz club, fake italian cooking, fake cocktails... If you want to be part of the city, avoid it.

Venice is not as nice as I expected it to be. :) Lots of (american) tourists. Mestre was much nicer.
