does the train station in treviso take you to nearby padova, belluno and verona. thank you.

We arrive at 17:00 on thueday the 1. of july in Verona (airport) . Can we go by bus from there to Malcesine? and when? If not: how else? Thank you very much for your help.

Could anyone please inform me of the cost of a train ticket from Bergamo to Peschiera del Garda. I am visiting in July with my family. Adult and Childrens tickets.

Or you could anyone advise me on the best way of travel.

Many thanks

Hello everyone,

Has anyone stayed at the Hotel Abbazia and can provide me with any comments - for or against? Or possibly suggest a better hotel in Venice around the same price? We will be there for two nights in late September.

Thanks heaps :)

Hi all, we are going to Venice for a trip, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. To enjoy this trip we are looking for a good site providing hotel price comparison. Do you guys know any good online resource? With the help of which, we can compare hotels according to their prices and rates. Hope you guys will help us.
Thanks!!

We will be in Venice for two nights in December and two nights in January. Are there any places where you can go dancing (Latin and tango) during the winter months?

Thank you for you time.

Can you recommend any hotels near Piazza Roma?

My husband and I will be staying in Venice on the nights of 2 and 3 January 2009. We are booked to stay at Al Tolentini in December for 2 days (70 euros a night). The rate is much more expensive in January at the same hotel. We prefer not to pay more than 80 euros per night. We need to catch the bus to the airport at 4 in the morning of the 4th of January.

A few years ago we stayed in Hoteo Arlecchino. It was great and convenient but now it is too expensive.

The hotel does not need to be luxury, just clean with private bathroom and breakfast included.

Thank you

Hi everyone. How far away is Treviso airport to Venice? What is the best way of getting there? Thanks.

Hi
I am flying with my husband into Bergamo airport on Fri 30 May to stay in Malcesine for a week. As I am pregnant we can't face doing the journey by public transport, are not keen on driving ourselves and are blanching at the cost of a taxi - cheapest quote I've had is 145 E each way (not too bad compared to some others!).
We would be interested in sharing the cost of a taxi transfer if anyone is travelling on the same date/s to a similar destination? Our flight arrives in Bergamo 1500h.
Thanks

Hi all,

We would love to extend our Garda Lake trip with 4-5 days to Venice this summer (jul-aug) and were looking for some tips from the pros / experienced...
We are 3 persons, 2 adults and a little boy that is good on his feet, but I would still consider taking the stroller with me.

We are Dutch and therefor love to spend money on vacations, but hate to waste money when not necessary. We are not looking for "Hostel-budget" (not that there is anything wrong with that)

My questions:
- I read that you can park your car cheap "above" or "below" the city and take a busboat from there, any tips ?
- Taking the train into town is also an option, in that case I would want to park some stops away from venice (or even from Lake Garda) to save money on parking.
- I heard Hotel prices differ when staying inside / outside the city.
We don't mind a little (boat)trip to the city centre. Does anyone have any experience of reasonably priced hotels in or around Venice (I know there are many travelguides about this, but tips from experience are always welcome)
- Any tips we have not thought of ?

Thanks a lot in advance, regards,

Jenny, Roul and Daan

What is the most efficient way to get from Marco Polo Airport in Venice to the city? I am trying to conserve some dollars but will have enough lugguage for a 12 day cruise. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you

Could you suggest me a good hotel (three star) or pension in Caorle?

Thanks a lot!

Hi
We are having a day trip to Venice from Lago di Garda and are going by train. I know that the station is in a great location but as we are short on time how long does it take walking (with a 6 year old!) from the station to a central location (St Marks?) or is a water bus a lot quicker option, and are they near the station anyway?
Thanks

I would like to take the opportunity whilst I am in Venice to buy some self-study books for learning Spanish (because I couldn't quite get them in my home country). Any bookshops near Piazzale Roma or S. Marco (or anywhere on the island)? Directions to the bookshops very much appreciated.

Is there any other (cheaper) way of going to Stazione Marittima from the Marco Polo Airport apart from taxi or taxi motorboat? Please also advise time needed and approximate fares.

I'm thinking of catching the train from venice to rome in the morning. I looked on the trenitalia site and I can see the timetable, but under the buy column it says NO. Does this mean the train is sold out or I cant buy tickets online? If anyone has done this in Oct, how much does it usually cost? Thanks!

I want to travel from Treviso Airport to Ljublijana and return from Kranjska Gora to the Airport (in July).
Advice please

hi I would be grateful if someone could tell me if there is a shuttle bus from verona airport to limone and how much does it cost and what time it starts. We will land at verona airport at about 9:30 am and our flight back to manchester leaves at 10:00 am. Please can anyone help.

We will be in Venice in October and I have read that there is a rodent problem there. Does anybody know if the rat's are as bad as the pigeons, and can they be seen on the walkways.

Hello,
We plan on booking a Doge's Palace tour as well as the Secret Tour. Just wondering how long does the Doge's tour take to make sure we are allocating enough time. I'm thinking of booking the Doge's palace tour at 9am and the Secret Tour at 1130am (english version). Do we have enough time if we book it this way?

Also since Doge's palace does not have option for Italian and English version, I assume everything is in English?

Thanks a lot!

Can anyone help with these questions.

1. How much does Dodges Palace cost to enter and can you pre-book entrance so that you don't have to wait in line?
2. Where does the Carnival Cruise ship dock and how do you get from there to Saint Mark's Square? Can you walk to Saint Marks from the terminal?
3. If you are taking a vaparetto from the terminal area to St. Mark's Square, how much will it cost?
4. How much are gondola rides going for in 2008?
5. Where is the best place to catch a gondola and what the best time to take one?
6. What is the best route to take on a gondola ride?

Hello! We are going to Venice for the first time this early May and will be spending 3 days there.

Based on the typical must-see sights in Venice (i've not done full research on places to see yet but heard about Doges Palace and Basilica San Marco and really interested to go there), what type of transport cards/venice cards do you suggest? Is it wise to purchase a venice orange card?
What about unlimited waterbus tickets say for 72 hrs? Will it really take a lot of waterbus rides to visit most of the interesting sights in Venice?

Thanks a lot!

I am trying to get from the Maritime Terminal to St. Mark's Square. What is the best way to accomplish this. I can't believe Holland America provides no transportation evn for a fee.

Hi there,

We are ending our a cruise in Venice mid September'08 and I know the dock in Venice is near Piazzale Roma, on the main island. Could someone recommend a hotel to stay overnight with easy transportation to the main attrtactions and Marco Polo Airport.

All sugestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

We'll be going to Venice for 3 days, and our fren told us there's a few island around it.. i think he mentioned something like murano, burano, etc.... which it worth going?

I will be in Verona Italy for architecture school this summer for a month and a half. I will have my laptop with me during this time, but I am wondering about internet access. I searched through the general tips and forums for internet but could not find anything.

I will be staying at the Villa Francescatti during my stay which will not have internet. Can anyone point me towards some internet cafes or wireless spots? It does not matter whether I use their computers or my own.

Thanks for your help!

Hi!
As you've mentioned the Venice cards, I'd like to inquire whether buying the Venice Card Orange enables one to skip the long queues to Doge Palace etc., even though it ensures free entrance?
It'll be great if you could inform me, as I plan to leave in about a fortnight.
Thanks!

Hi all,
My wife and I will be arriving in Venice for two nights at the end of a holiday in the Dolomites. We arrive on our 30th anniversary so have decided to treat ourselves and have booked into the Bauer Palazzo Hotel on the Grand Canal.
We will be arriving by car and need to park it as close as possible, so we're looking at the possibility of the car park at Piazzale Roma.
1/ Does anybody know the cost of parking at Piazzale Roma for 2 full days?
2/ Is there a cheaper solution, keeping in mind we have luggage?
3/ Has anybody got knowledge of the hotel?
Thanks in advance for any help
