Can anyone tell me if businesses, churches, or museums are closed for May day? We are going to be in Venice that day and were thinking it might not be a good day to visit Murano, but we were not sure if the churches or tours would be closed as well.
Thanks,
Angela
There is no day in the year when churches are closed.
With regard to other activities and businesses: post offices, banks and those shops that are not specifically 'for tourists' will be closed. Everything else will operate as usual.
The best memory that I have of Venice, is the Jewish area! It's a big search trough dark alleys, just like a maze. But it's worth it! What you'll find is a rustique and cheap part of Venice, with great, pure and healthy food. I won't tell you where it is, cause that's the best part of it! Have a great time and a nice dinner!
Chioggia is a nice town, all like Venice, but smaller and less crowdy. It's a great idea to do first a sightseeing - we did it by bike. Then take a boat over to the nearest island of Pellestrina. There your real biking tour starts. You can drive over the long islands of Pellestrina and Lido and continue biking on the continental side on the other side of lagoons.
If possible (being in a group), take a family ticket, valuable for all boats in Venice lagoons. It's cheaper and less complicated than buying tickets again and again. It's a bustling, lively town, with nice channels, boats and picturesque houses. Like a small Venice, but less crowdy with tourists.
Sestiere San Polo is almost as bussy as San Marco, always crowded by visitors. This part of Venice is full of many important sights such as churches, galleries and artistic schools. The whole sestiere is interlaced by dense network of short canals and narrow streets. There are many attractive shops here too and that makes strolling around much harder.
Paseando por sus calles y canales se puede ver como los Venecianos ponen a tender sus ropas recién lavadas al sol , dando un ambientillo muy especial a la ciudad
Walking through its streets and canals you may see how the Venetians hang to dry in the sun , their washed clothes , giving a very special atmosphere to the city
Hmmm, it looks to me like a hard way to earn some pockett money. This young and very attractive local student-girl, standing on the stilts, is showing the way to one of the Venetian galleries. As she told me, the money is good but the job is very exhausted.
Another way of earning money, not less exhausted and not excusevelly Venetian patent, is to perform the living statue. It looks like a kind of penitence to me, standing for hours under the sun immovably, gosh, I couldn't do it.
