One option is to take the train. I've just looked for a random weekday in September, and there's basically one train an hour in each direction. It's direct, and takes just shy of 4 hours. To get train times, your best bet is to use Bahn.de and search from there. (Yes, that is the German railways rather than the Italian I'm suggesting, but they have a better ...

I was in Venice last year on 27th Nov. Based on my experience on that day : You definitely need to wear jacket. It was around 6-8 Celcius. I put some of my photos below. As you can see, all the people wear jackets. On that day, it was sunny. I love photography as you do, and my photos in Venice were my best photos during my trip in Europe. However ...

Venice is an expensive and beautiful place to visit. While you can take a land bus from the airport to the train station end of Venice, I think that would be a false economy for your first visit. The alilaguna is 12 euros each way. Venice is a water city and approaching and leaving it by water, as though the train/bus bridge was never built, will put you in ...

According to Venice airport and public transportation sites, you can take bus linea 5. Fare is 1.30€. I don't know if some constraints apply on luggage. Linea 5 leaves you at piazzale Roma near Santa Lucia train station. From there, take Vaporetto nr. 1 to piazza San Marco.

Culture is in Venice city itself, whereas nightlife can be found on isola di Lido or on terra ferma at Mestre. Hotel accomodation is less expensive in these two places but it is less romantic as well. Booking an hotel in Venice may be the right choice, considering that Mestre is reachable by train and Lido by vaporetto (last train from Mestre at 23h46, next ...

I agree with you about the fact that Venice is the place which should not be skipped if one happens to be in the area. I also know that Venice may be expensive compared to other places. Having said this, I'd surely go for a Venitian accommodation rather than one at Lido. Venice is a town which should be enjoyed on foot. People do take vaporetti or motoscafi ...

The ACTV public bus No. 5 (orange bus) from Marco Polo airport to Piazzale Roma and takes about 25 minutes and costs 5 EUR. The ATVO bus (blue color) costs the same and takes about 5 minutes less. I would then just take a 6.50 EUR vaporetto ride (no.1) to San Marco. It's cheaper and takes about the same time. The cheaper 1.30 EUR fare is only for residents ...

I have never been to the USA, so I can't really compare the airport in Venice to any American airport. The airport in Venice is rather small and organized in a standard way (for Europe and Asia at least). After you arrive, you get to the passport control desk, then you need to find your luggage on the correct conveyor belt. If you have nothing to declare ...

Every Saturday there are two scheduled buses running from the Mestre station, via the Marco Polo and Treviso airports to Arabba. Tickets can be booked on dolomiti.org.

Venice is an expensive and small place. You can pay thousands of euros a night to stay steps (and they mean steps) from San Marco. But even if you're within sight of the train station, you're no more than an hour from San Marco on foot, quicker with the vaporetti. When you're searching the various travel sites, any hotel that is actually in Venice itself as ...

I'd agree that the train is the least expensive option - especially if you take advantage of the Trenitalia MINI discounted tickets - see my blog article on Trenitalia fares for more information. These tickets can be bought 4 months in advance or the day before - if they are still available. You also could fly via Easyjet. If you book in advance you can ...

On average, November in Venice is relatively chilly (average daily high is 11°C) and with a good chance of rain as it is the wettest month (weather.com). Still, as with most of Europe, the weather fluctuates and you might experience better (or worse weather). You will however definitely need to pack for chilly weather.

Remember that the vaporetti night boat makes all stops en route, so give yourself time. There are land taxis at Piazzale Roma that are in and out at that hour, but they are infrequent. I have often waited 10 or fifteen minutes for one to show up. Phone one of the several taxi companies the night before-- they speak English- and book one for the time you ...

There is a boat "AliLaguna" leaving from St. Marco square and several other places in Venice going to the airport from 3:40 in the morning until 22:25 at night. One way ticket is 12 EUR per person. There are also private taxi boats you could book but they are rather 120 EUR.

I assume that the max EUR150 is for 1 room, per night. Hotel Le Isole Campo San Provolo - Castello 4661, Castello, 30122 Venice The hotel gets a review score of 9.4 from booking.com and quite classy. If you book from booking.com, it will be exactly EUR150 pernight. But note that city tax is not included.

According to the airport site there is nothing that goes directly to Venezia. There are 2 bus companies that service the Bergamo airport as well Autostradale which could get you to Milan or Brescia and then you would have to take the train. The other one OrioShuttle will only get you to Milan and then you can take a train or a bus. But based on what I am ...

There is the transfer service mentioned by Marcel. Mind however that you need to book it in advance, at the latest on Wednesday before the weekend you are planning to travel. There is no way to buy ticket on the day, even though usually there are free places. Also, you need to have a valid reservation with one of their accepted accommodation providers, they ...

Here you can find a map of bike-allowed street. Probably it will be longer but there is a possibility to go to Punta Sabbioni by using only the bike. Hope it can help!
