Venice Experience

Venice the city of Sighs!

Advantages: Absolutely breath taking views around every corner.
Disadvantages: Very expensive packed during the day with day trippers.

...night before the trip to Venice we had gone to London to see a show and to have dinner and due to an oversight erm probably due to the spiritual variety we actually got on the wrong train ending up in the middle of nowhere with little chance of getting home the right side of midnight. We actually got home at 2AM and had to be up for 4AM to check in for the first flight of the day to Venice. Panic galore trying to organise a taxi to take us to the ...
...was a fantastic flight to Venice with ample supplies of Champagne we arrived at Marco Polo international airport. Following which we had to get ourselves into Venice. From Venice airport there are a number of options to take you into Venice. 1. The bus. 2. A taxi which will only take you part of the way and drop you off near the station but then it would be quite a walk to the hotel or by connecting to the local water bus service serving the whole ...

Review of Venice (Italy)

No fleas, just wonderful Venice glass.

Advantages: Easy find, easy found, with some great bargains.
Disadvantages: None other than baggage allowance.

...sheeting, secured with brown sticky tape, as they are open again on the Sunday. It you are at a loss for somewhere to browse away from the tourist crowds, I would recommend that you take a walk, follow the signs for the hospital and find the Venice Flea Market. ...

Review of Venice Flea Market

Off the track in Venice

Advantages: Known by few other than locals.
Disadvantages: I am telling you.

...year we came across the Al Marca bar. Catch the vaporetti along the Grand Canal and get off at the Mercato di Rialto stop. You could get off at the Rialto Bridge stop and walk over the bridge and into the square but the Mercato stop leads you directly into the square. Any time during the day there are people at the bar milling about with a coffee, la umbro, (a small wine) or a beer. As it is next to the Court of Justice it is busy, busy, busy but ...
...bench and soak up Venice watch the Venetian's going about their business away from St. Mark's and the bustle of the day trippers. Call back in the evening and you will see a view so different from the day time. It is a treat to see people being responsible with their drink, not binge drinking and getting out of their faces on the stuff. We called there every night and joined them for a Campari and soda with a queen olive, or they do have a softer ...

Review of Al Marca, Venice

Lucky holiday!

Advantages: available staff, quality products
Disadvantages: no

I’ve been there during my last holiday in Venice! So l can say that Italian food is not only good for the health, but it really tastes great! If you’ll be in Venice you must enjoy the adventure of exploring authentic Italian special food and wine at "I Tre Mercanti", not only a delight for the senses but also an expression of the cultural and traditional heritage of the country. In this shop, that is furnished with very good taste, the kind staff ...
...I’m a sweets lover I’ve bought a very good Italian wine, called Recioto della Valpolicella, to match with Bussolai , traditional venetian rich butter biscuits. While, for my friends I’ve taken several gifts, such as some bars of the particular Maglio’s sweet chocolate and cocoa blends coming from distant lands. These are treats both for dark and milk chocolate lovers. And it’s funny because the staff of "I Tre Mercanti" have a good ability to personalize ...

Review of I Tre Mercanti, Venice

I Tre Mercanti, a special shopping experience

Advantages: Huge variety of products - cheap and easy to reach
Disadvantages: none

...in Italy and the days I spent in Venice were the most amazing! lt’s a very picturesque city and rich of history. People are so welcoming and available; thanks to them and their suggestions I savored delicious characteristic dishes. Walking around the river basin of Saint Marco, l fortunately discovered a cool environment called I Tre Mercanti. Here I bought several types of wine and food specialties, as the typical venetian cookies “Buranei”, a particular ...
...When I came back my friends tasted all of these delicacies and they had appreciated them. So l think I will buy to each of them one of these specialties as Christmas gifts directly in the online shop from the web site www.itremercanti.it where l can choose among so many products. ...
