Venice Travel Tips

Venice is a popular cruise stop, and many of the itineraries either begin or end here. It's a great place to combine a tour of Italy with a cruise on the Adriatic to Croatia, Greece or Turkey. You can get from the train station to the cruise terminals on foot, but it is a fairly long walk and at times less than pedestrian friendly. You'll pass through the Piazzale Roma, which is webbed with bus stops, parking garages and general confusion for the first-time visitor. If your cruise ship starts its itinerary here, you benefit from a floating hotel room and meals aboard ship. It's a great way to avoid the high prices of Venice and yet still experience this beautiful city.
