Best way to get from Hotel Astoria in Malcesine to Venice using bus and train in 1st week in June 2013?

We are arriving on a train into Venezia Mestre which arrives at 3.00am, and want to get to a hotel close to Venezia Saint Lucia. But Saint Lucia is closed at night so can't use the shuttle service between the two stations. Any suggestions on how we can get there at night.

What hotels are near the train station?

My husband and I are flying into Venice and plan on taking a water taxi to our hotel (hotel becher). We depart for Florence from the St Lucia train station. Where is the train station located? Is it back by the airport or can we walk from our hotel around st marks square? If we can't travel by foot, what is the best transportation besides another expensive water taxi that we only want to use to enter the city? Thank you!

We are going on our first holiday to Lake Garda at the end of May and are staying in the town of Bardolino. Can someone advise us of some nice places to visits nearby and are accessible by bus rather than the expensive ferries.

What's the closest airport to padova? Preferably, close to the Anfiteatro Camerini. thanks!

I just noticed a new tourist thing in Venice - a special vaporetto down the Grand Canal for visitors only, the Vaporetto dell'Arte (vaporettoarte.com/index.php/...

You know that we sometimes suggest that visitors avoid the waterbuses because of the cost, but that one trip on the regular line 1 down the Grand Canal for 7 euro might be well worth it for the sights seen from the water through the center of the city.

Now it appears that Venice has formalized this experience with the "Vaporetto dell'Arte", which is a value-added trip down the Grand Canal. It operates like a hop-on/hop-off bus in that you can hop and on while the ticket is valid (24 hours from validation), and there is audio in 6 languages and video for each seat. Yes, there are about 80 "comfortable" seats and room for maybe 20 standing. You will also get a paper document that describes what you're seeing as well as containing discount coupons for use in the city.

The fare is 24 euro, which makes it somewhat on par with hop-on/hop-off services in other cities (but more expensive because this is Venice, after all). There are some discounts for children under 12, groups of more than 20, the wheelchair-bound (helper gets the same discount), and anyone who buys a time-limited ACTV tourist ticket at the same time (you know, good for 12 or 24 or whatever hours).

This sounds like a good idea - it caters to the sightseers, and gets them off the public transit anyway.

Has anyone done this? What do you think?
