Venice Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Well so much for the forecast of rain while I was in Venice. I woke up this morning to clear blue skies and they stuck around the whole day, except for a brief interlude of clouds in the afternoon.

I was very tired this morning, probably because I had a little too much wine last night. But I needed a lazy day today anyway after all of my ...

March 15, 2008 = $1700 I still have many attractions to go see. So I saw IFrari- a Christian church with paintings, art collections and architecture. The Gothic church was begun by the Franciscans about 1340. The facade, interior, annexs Cappella Emiliana And cappella cornaro were added in the middle of the 15th century. The simple unadorned int...

We spent the day going shop to shop surveying all of the choices for glass pendants and lamps. We find it very weird that at 10 am not all of the shops are even open yet! And they close so early! And close for lunch! While walking along, Jay saw this glass beetle in a window, of a shop that was, of course, not open, and swore he'd remember where...

Hello all! Sorry this entry is slightly delayed - the only internet cafe in Venice we could find seemed a bit seedy. Anyways, we had a fantastic time in Venice. In spite of the horribly early wake up time (5am) : ( we were able to catch the train with plenty of time, and Venice appeared like a paradise out of the mist as we approached the statio...

We arrived in the pouring rain!! Got off the bus at the beginning of our adventure and we were soaking wet as we tried to find our rain jackets and umbrellas, packed ever so carefully in the bottom of my backpack! Standing in the rain, finally got protected from the rain and headed out to find the next vaporetta to our canal stop in the Grand Ca...

For those of you who have traversed a Los Angeles freeway during heavy traffic going 80 miles per hour...walking through Venice is almost like that at a much slower pace. You just move with the crowds and let them take you around...meandering and disregarding your map. As you move around, glimpses of water, canals, buildings, churches reveal the...

Before I go in to the beauty that is Venice, I must say it is cold!! Neither of us had any appropriate cold weather gear, and as I will be back in London in a few days (where my winter clothes are) I refuse to buy anything more. Plus I may not be able to lift my backpack if I do! Venice is poetic, romantic, definitely like something out of a mov...

Arrived in Venice Airport and picked up our silver 2003 Ford Focus, drove 20min to Venice. Parked our car in the garage outside the city entrance for $18EU and spent 2hrs walking around the city. Got some sandwiches and headed out!
