Venice

Me and my girlfriend decided that in April we would head to Venice as Rome would be too busy with it being Easter and all. We flew with EasyJet from East Midlands Airport to Venice Marco Polo airport, the flight is relatively short and we found the Venetian airport to be very charming. Once you have got your baggage i you plan to stay on the mainland then you will either need to take the Alliguna (water bus) or a private water taxi, a return ticket on the Alliguna costs around Euro25 for a return ticket and is far cheaper than hiring a private water taxi. Make sure you know which coloured route you need in order to get to your hotel otherwise you ...  Read the complete review

Venice I've just recently returned from a fantastic holiday in Venice, so I thought I'd put down my thoughts on the city as a whole, with reviews on specifics to follow. We arrived courtesy of Easyjet at about half nine in the evening at Marco Polo airport, on the mainland, not far from the city. There are a variety of options to get into Venice itself - you can take a bus to the Place Roma and catch a water taxi or bus from there, you can take an extremely expensive water taxi, or you can catch the waterbus straight from the airport. We opted for the waterbus, as we thought it would be great to arrive by water. This cost 13 Euros each and the ...  Read the complete review

Venice is a simply fantastic city. If, like me you enjoy city breaks with your loved one, you can't go far wrong with somewhere as stunning as the floating city. We flew from the UK into Venice Marco Polo airport, which is actually on the mainland. Venice itself is situated in a lagoon off the coast of Italy. From the airport, you can either hire a water taxi or get the water bus (the cheaper option) which goes around the islands and drops you off at various points in Venice itself. We stayed in Murano, a small island a few minutes on the water bus from Venice, which meant that it was a little quieter and a bit cheaper! Murano is where the majority of Venetian ...  Read the complete review

Destination: Venice Hours on the plane: Around 2 hours Hotel we stayed in: Palazzo Cendon Currency: Euros ~ Overview ~ As I had not visited Venice before I did not know what to expect. After reading other reviews on Dooyoo it seems that a lot of people think that you cannot do Venice on a budget but I know it is possible to do this having done it myself. We visited Venice January last year as nice little getaway and found that it was fairly cheap for booking flights and booking a hotel near the attractions as it was not during peak times. The whole experience of Venice is something that you will not experience anywhere ...  Read the complete review

Venice. I was under strict instructions to make sure I was off duty for my birthday but unfortunately I was unable to arrange to have the time off until the following week for what was supposed to be a special birthday surprise. Unfortunately due to a couple of circumstances beyond our control I actually found out that my birthday treat was to be a trip to Venice. I couldn't believe it as I have always wanted to go there but never imagined it would happen this way. I would have probably gone into heart failure had I found out about it at the airport so it was probably for the best I found out about it before hand anyway. Unable to ...  Read the complete review
