We stayed on our own for 4 nights in Venice before our cruise.
Our first trip to this enchanting city!
We were so glad to have the extra days to explore and enjoy.
No matter how many photos or movies you see of Venice, you must see it in person! ...
I found Venice to be interesting but dirty. They do not take kindly to cruise ship passengers and we were treated very rudely on several occasions. I would not go back. ...
Great place to visit. A photo opportunity around every corner, but also thousands of tourists in the way of photo opportunities and even walking easily along the narrow passages. Get up early for the best photos. ...
I have to say that Venice was quite disappointing. The city didn't look like it was kept up very well and we got ripped off at the only and only restaurant we ate it while we were there. ...
We arrived early and stayed on Murano, which we would highly recommend. Easy boat from the airport to Murano, easy ferry to Venice and back the next day, and easy boat to get to the cruise port. Enjoy as much time as you can in Venice, and be sure to check out Murano if you don't stay there. We didn't make it to Burano, but next time. Delicious food, though expensive. ...
