Venice

by croisbeauty

Well, maybe you wont like the choice of my pictures, no fancy buildings here, no chanels and waterfront, no Piazza San Marco. This is a bit different approach but still it's definatelly Venice. The worst one could do in Venice is to follow the city guide who will run and jump around coz is sick and tired of tours he/she made thousands of times. Venice has much more to offer then those boring city tours during which one could see everything and nothing.I suggest you to explore one sestiere at time without rushing. Be patient and very curious, enter every street even if deadend one.

Driving from Venice to the Dolomites etc

by angiebabe

Ive flown to Venice a few times to do trips driving from Venice on up to the Dolomites and several flights to Milan to go to Lake Garda and then down to Venice....with the major use of having excellent guidebooks in particular the DK eyewitness guide for Italy, the Rough guide for Italy, and the Lonely Planet guidebook for Europe on a shoestring - as well as the Hostelling INternational annual book for all hostels around Europe - (there are some excellent hostels in Italy that include family rooms and good amenities at a lower price than many of the hotels that I have found to be particularly more expensive in Italy than other places around Europe)These guidebooks are great for planning routes that can include seeing the sights along the way - which is exactly what I usually do and what I have done when travelling from Venice on up to Trento etc - and there are some lovely places along...

Stra : Villa Pisani

by globetrott

Villa Pisani is my favorite of the Brenta-Villas Villa Pisani is the largest and also the most famous of all the many villas along the Brenta-canal, in the outskirts of Venice. You can visit the park there and the interior of the villa, but unfortunately it is not allowed to take photos inside the villa !Villa Pisani was built for Almoro and Alvise Pisani .Alvise Pisani was a doge of Venice in 1740 and Villa Pisani saw lots of famous guests, including Napoleon.In my 2nd photo: Have a look at the impressive atlanti-statues holding the balcony on their head.In my 3rd photo: This is the backside palace of Villa Pisani, behind a large artificial water-basin.Even in foggy weather it makes a great reflection in the water.There are tickets for a visit of just the park or the park & a tour through the castle. And even when you come outside of the opening-times, you can still see parts of the...

Verona: Casa di Giulietta / the house of Juliet

by globetrott

Verona : Casa di Giulietta / the house of Juliet is not the real building and it is also not the real balcony there, BUT millions of tourists absolutely dont mind and go there anyway in order to take a look at or a foto of the famous balcony. Unfortunately I came a few minutes too late and the gate was closed already. All I could see through the fence is the wall, where lovers from all over the world fix their loveletters and the balcony and statue of Juliet.The balcony looks quite old but in fact it was added to the building in 1930.Casa di Giulietta / the house of Juliet is open daily except Monday: 08.30am-07.30pm and on Mondays: 01.30pm-07.30pm The entrancefee is €3 and it is included also in the Verona-card.

Verona: Piazza Bra & the Arena

by globetrott

Piazza Bra is the the name of the big square right in front of the famous Arena di Verona, that dates back to the roman empire and is more than 2000 years old now.Piazza Bra is still used for various festivities, like a big festivity that was going on, while we were there. They had a lovely performance of dancers, exotic music and culinary delights.Piazza Bra is the place, where you will mostly be dropped by the busdrivers, in case you make a stop-over of 1 or 2 hours, while taking a bustour through Italy.The Arena of Verona is dating back to the year 30 A.D and is big enough for 25000 visitors today. The Arena was built by the Romans as a place to watch the fights of Gladiators against wild animals. In the Middleages it was partly destroyed, as people were trying to use the bricks in order to build their houses. In later times inquisition-trials were held there and people were also...

Marostica

by i-bella

Marostica is a beautiful village in the province of Vicenza with a very interesting peculiarity. There is a beautiful square in front of the Lower Castle that is paved like a chess-board with squares of white and red marble. In fact it is a chess-board for games of ‘living chess’ with real people and real horses.The event takes place every second year in September. It is very spectacular, with over 500 characters in sumptuous costumes as there is a pageant before the game. The games are not impromptu, they reproduce famous games of chess from the recent or remote past.

Andrea Palladio

by i-bella

Andrea Palladio was a great architect of the 16th century who influenced very much the architecture of the following centuries. In fact he created the style that was lately called Neoclassicism. Palladio’s villas and churches are inspired by the canons of proportions and symmetry of ancient Greece and Rome. He wrote also a treatise to describe such canons.Veneto is where all the buildings designed by Palladio can be found. There is a particularly rich concentration of Palladio’s works in Vicenza, including a theatre and a basilica.

Veneto on a budget

by rubbersoul75

For travel on a budget you cna see a world of Italy explore the spots along the Verona - Venice regional train route. Spots such as Lake Garda, Verona, Padova, Vicenza & Venice. These are all about 1/2 hr apart, all worth at least a day, all on the regional train line so no advance reservation for train required. Do some upfront research to decide which of these towns have more of your interests and stay/spend more time there. Padova- lively college town with one of the most important works of art in Scrovegni chapel, St. Anthonys Basilica.. Vicenza- an easy stop and if you like architecture a must visit for Palladios works, Verona- roman arena, Giuliette's town, and all around classic city (Great deal on the combo ticket for entrance to arena, all churches, bell tower, museums, and city bus).For budget, don't stay in Venice overnight. & Instead of Mestre, you may also consider Padova,...

Venice - Queen of the Adriatic

by rubbersoul75

The capital of the Veneto, the most unique city on the planet, and one of the grandest places you'll ever visit. The entire city of Venezia is a museum; on a trip to the city don't miss the following, and you can accomplish this in a day if that is all you've got: - Piazza San Marco with the basilica San Marco, Campanile (bell tower), Doge's palace, Bridge of sighs, and surrounding area. Easily a day can be occupied here.- Rialto bridge, and surrounding markets- Churches, so many filled with incredible art & Architecture. Besides, San Marco, the Frari is a favorite for its variety of priceless art. - A cafe by a canalHop in the #1 vaporetto for a Grand Canal cruise. This is the slowest water bus so you can take in the Palaces; it runs the length of the canal from the train station to San Marco, making all the stops.

Valeggio sul Mincio

by rubbersoul75

Valeggio sul Mincio - sul Mincio meaning "Above the Mincio", and the Mincio being a river that runs from Lake Garda south to Mantova. Located between Peschiera del Garda and Mantova, Valeggio sits at the very western boarder of the Veneto. Valeggio consists of the larger town center and it's castle on a hill above the river, and "Borghetto" which is a beautiful little village siting right on top of the river. The town is not so well traveled by international tourists (with the exception of Germans usually coming from nearby Lake Garda). If you stop by, be sure to have a plate of Tortellini - suposedly the best in Italy. After our lunch here, we've got no reason to disagree.
