Holiday rentals in Venice

We stayed at the Marina di Venezia campsite and went on a day trip to Venice. Once there, we walked through the alleyways and looked at the main squares and sights. The large squares and alleyways were sometimes very crowded with tourists. Further into the city, however, it was better and very nice to look at. Food is sometimes cheaper inside the city. Outside, it can be quite expensive. Getting around is sometimes difficult in the large, narrow streets. However, it is always possible. I wouldn't avoid anything in particular on my next trip.

The beautiful alleyways. Lots of shopping opportunities at relatively reasonable prices. The canals with the gondolas are of course also very beautiful. The weather was also very good.

Also use the alleyways that are not so crowded. Some of them are beautiful places.

Simply for the experience. Sometimes overcrowded but still very beautiful.

The trip was really nice. We had a great journey and arrived at the hotel quickly. Our hotel was the Rialto Unique Venice Experience. It was wonderful. The food was perfect and the ambience was lovely. My favourite part was St Mark's Basilica with its wonderful architecture. It really impressed me. I also loved the Correr Museum. I ate at the Rio Novo. It was right on the waterfront and had very tasty food. It's easy to get around on foot as there are bridges everywhere and you don't really need a car. And there were relatively few cars in the city. On my next trip, I would avoid staying in a hotel near the water as it was a bit smelly. I would also hide my valuables even better, as I was told that there are a lot of pickpockets in Venice. The best way to holiday there is as a couple. I therefore recommend Venice for couples rather than families, as there are not so many activities for children.

The Italian food was particularly nice. It was also nice to go on a boat tour. You can also have a good look at the old buildings. You also have to see St Mark's Basilica.

You have to go to Burano. There are not so many tourists there and a lot of locals. There is a very nice atmosphere there.

I recommend this destination as it is not very far away, but has a lot to offer and the city is well organised for tourism.

We flew to Venice at the beginning of September 2023 and had a hotel relatively centrally located on the "island". It was really nice to walk through the canals and over the many bridges. You have to cover all the routes and bridges on foot, so the city is more recommended for people who are fit on foot. Gondola rides are definitely recommended for couples. However, these are a little expensive. Overall, I think a lot is geared towards tourism, but Venice is still definitely worth seeing!

The many canals and bridges are worth seeing. Gondola rides through the canals are very nice. St Mark's Square is a highlight. The small restaurants and shops are also very charming.

Unique city built on water. Incredibly beautiful canals and views.

My personal impressions of a week in Venice were extremely positive. The city impressed me with its rich history and the unique charm of its narrow streets and picturesque canals. St Mark's Square at sunset was a particularly impressive experience, with St Mark's Basilica and the Campanile in the warm light. I can only recommend it. The culinary variety in the cosy cafés of Dorsoduro was incredibly delicious, and I was particularly impressed by the fresh seafood and traditional pasta dishes. The local cuisine was therefore undoubtedly a highlight of my trip. I was also fascinated by the Doge's Palace and the hidden treasures of Cannaregio. I deliberately avoided the crowded tourist attractions in order to experience the authentic Venice in peace and quiet. I would recommend anyone to do the same. On the other hand, you can forget it. For my next stay, which will be soon, I plan to stay in a less crowded neighbourhood to experience Venice better at night. For me, the beauty of the city is particularly evident in the lesser-known corners. That's why Venice is a really recommendable destination for me. But you always have to watch out for the crowds of tourists. Otherwise you will be literally trapped in the city centre.

The highlight of my trip was probably the sunset on St Mark's Square in Venice, which was magical. The colours over St Mark's Basilica and the Campanile were unforgettable.

The lesser-known Dorsoduro neighbourhood: discover hidden alleyways and authentic cafés away from the crowds.

Because Venice is something different from other big cities.
