A day in Venice

Our tour group spent Day 7 in the breath taking city of Venice...


We stayed in a hotel on the mainland which meant we need to take a walk to the train station and take the train into Venice. This city is very old and all transportation is via small boats.

P.S. If you plan to visit Venice stay at a hotel on the mainland. Hotels in Venice can cost upwards of $300 or more per night! Also, there are no cars on the streets of Venice. All transportation is done by water taxi. This makes finding your hotel and taking your luggage through the streets a bit of a challenge.

Once we arrived the boat dock is right outside the train station and our water taxi awaited us...


Event the police in Venice use boats!
