Great 4.0
Quadruple room is spacious. Facilities are okay. hotel at first is hard to find as it is located at the far end of the road from Venezia Mestre Station. Hotel is close to big supermarket (InterSpar) which makes it very convenient for guests who want to buy grocery.

Hotel was literally opposite train station, perfect for tired travellers with luggages. However, room was a bit dusty and dated.

very nice hotel near the train station but would be 1-2km walk to the shopping center, san marco, and ponte rialto and ponte accademia and other churches to visit. but worth it if you like walking or running.

I loved the experience and it’s worth the ride but the only issue was the location wasn’t clear I think it would be better if they text or put the location in the right way starting point is very confusing

What to know before visiting Venice

Top Attractions in Venice

Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale)

Doge's Palace is a Gothic masterpiece that was once the seat of the Venetian Republic’s government. Inside, you’ll find grand halls, historic paintings, and secret passageways. Don’t miss walking across the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the palace to the old prison!

Basilica San Marco (St. Mark’s Basilica)

Located in Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) is one of the most beautiful in Italy. Its golden mosaics, domes, and marble floors reflect centuries of Venice’s wealth and art. Climb to the balcony for great views of the square.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection

If you enjoy modern art, don’t miss the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the top modern art museums in Venice, Italy! The building itself was once Peggy Guggenheim’s home, giving it a cozy, personal feel.

Canal Grande (Grand Canal)

The Grand Canal is Venice’s main waterway, lined with palaces and bridges. Hop on a vaporetto (water bus) for a scenic ride through the heart of the city, passing landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo.

Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark’s Square)

Known as Venice’s living room, St. Mark's Square is filled with history, music, and stunning architecture. Visit in the early morning or evening to enjoy it with fewer crowds. You can also visit Mark's campanile to admire Venice from above!

Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge)

The Rialto Bridge is one of Venice’s most iconic bridges. It’s a great spot for photos, souvenir shopping, and watching gondolas glide beneath. Visit at sunset for the best light over the Venetian Lagoon.

San Giorgio Maggiore

Across from St. Mark’s Square, this peaceful island is home to a church designed by Andrea Palladio. Climb its bell tower for a quiet view of the Venetian Lagoon and the red rooftops of the city.

Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo

Famous for its spiral staircase, this small palace offers one of the best rooftop terraces in Venice. The climb is short, and the view over the canals and San Marco district is worth it.

Santa Maria della Salute

Santa Maria della Salute sits at the mouth of the Grand Canal and can be seen from almost anywhere in Venice. Inside, you’ll find impressive paintings by Titian and stunning domes that shine in the sunlight.

Tips before visiting Venice

1. Visit early or late to avoid crowds

Venice can get crowded, especially around San Marco and Rialto Bridge. Plan to visit main attractions early in the morning or later in the evening. You’ll enjoy a more peaceful experience and better photos.

2. Bring comfortable shoes

You’ll walk a lot in Venice since there are no cars. Wear comfortable shoes for walking tours along narrow streets and bridges. Water-resistant footwear is handy, especially if visiting during high tide.

3. Use public transport wisely

Water buses (vaporetti) are the easiest way to explore the Venetian Lagoon and reach Murano or Burano. You can also use Google Maps to check routes and schedules.

To make your trip even smoother, book your Venice Pass through Klook for easier access to public transport and top attractions around the city!
