Locanda Canal, Venice

Advantages: A unique experience
Disadvantages: None

...A must for those who visit Venice is to ride on the Gondola, after all it is one of Venice's trademark. It's all very Venice from the gondola man dressed in striped shirts and hats to the whole trip itself. Your trip would not be complete unless you ride on one of these traditional rides. You can enjoy the lovely sceneries in Venice and go through the bridges-all sights are breathless and not to mention the live Italian serenade. I would certainly recommend to everyone , especially for couples going on a honeymoon trip...imagine listening to the live Italian song and enjoying a lovely, yet unique sceneries with your loved one! I can't remember how long was the ride, but I wouldn't mind experiencing it all over again!... Read review

Outside the airport, taxis were easily available as well as other forms of transport and within five minutes of leaving the airport, the landscape was that of traditional italian countryside with canals and rustic barns every mile or so. Venice itself was a very nice place with bagfuls of character and some charming squares and pizzerias that will stay with me for a long time. The trip was made complete by having no stress at all and i thank Venice airport for that and i would thoroughly reccomend... Read review

We have visited Venice for the past seven years and we go again in March 08. We stay at the Loccanda Remidio Columbina just at the back of St. Mark's Square and on the canal with the Bridge of Sighs. Six of us in 2004 visited the Venice Carnival and dressed for the occasion. The "Theme" was "The Silk Road." It was in Feb 2004 and we had snow, and rain, but the atmosphere was great. The costumes wonderful and full of imagination, (they had to be to keep warm.) People promenade every afternoon in St. Mark's Square then onto the stage and winners are chosen, how and who votes we never found out. People come from all over the world to wear their costumes and to see and be seen, just have... Read review
