GETTING THERE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS
If you are planning to go to Venice, go straight to the Hotel section and check the room fares that suit you best. Venice includes two main areas: the island and the mainland. On the island you can either walk or use water buses (vaporetto). In this area hotels are placed in the old city centre so you can enjoy the real Venetian life. Alternatively, you can stay on the mainland (Mestre or neighbouring villages) and reach Venice in about 10-15 minutes. Winters are mild (6° C) and summers hot (29° C). Clearly, given the nature of the city itself, it is quite damp. High tides only occur in autumn and winter.
