Is Venice the most romantic city on earth? Their certainly hard to overcome, particularly when youre staying right in the centre of things.

Where's it?

Venice is really a town developed on water - just off the north east coast of Italy, facing the Adriatic Sea - and is renowned for the channel system, opulent palazzos and beautiful religious buildings and art. It's an on the mainland but from there, you'll need to take a water bus to achieve the city.

Where could I stay?

The simplest way to see Venice is in a quiet, cool and sophisticated resort. These small but beautifully made accommodations provide you respite from the tourist throng and the type of service you would expect from far more expensive areas. Decide to try Ca Pisani, a little palazzo that has been sympathetically renovated and furnished to provide a haven of tranquillity, or the Ca Maria Adele, an eclectic boutique hotel in one of Venices many special sectors.

So what can I see?

For a somewhat small city, theres a lot to pack right into a short visit. The main part of St. Marks Square with the Doges Palace and the Campanile is a good spot to spend time and soak up the atmosphere, though bars and cafes here may be expensive. As an alternative, go to the churches, galleries and restaurants that are somewhat off the beaten track, where environment and history are still rich. When you yourself have time, visit the nearby islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello, all traditionally and culturally worth a visit.

Just how do I get around?

One of many beauties of Venice is that it has no road system. Most visitors make use of the waterbus (Vaporetto) process, that is regular and relatively cheap. Those who are looking for intimate Venice can hire a gondola at a larger price. Definitely the best way to explore the city, nevertheless, is on foot. This way, it is possible to reach the areas of the city that a lot of waterbuses dont travel to and learn new and shopping pleasures across the way. this month
