[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A week in Venice is the right time frame to enjoy it in all its facets, appreciating the most beautiful and characteristic things of this city, rich of history and tradition. You can do and see a lot of things including: eating at \u201cbacari\u201d<\/strong> (typical Venetian tavern), \u201cgondola\u201d<\/strong> tour (a typical Venetian boat), \u201cvaporetto\u201d tour<\/strong> (a ferryboat), visiting many churches<\/strong> and museums<\/strong> for a unique holiday and an opportunity to not be missed!<\/p>\n

What does Venice offers in a week?<\/h2>\n

Venice is a city not so extended, but it is full of museums, works of art and a lot of things to see. Moreover, if you are thinking about spending 7 days in Venice, in this article you will find many ideas for the smaller islands<\/strong> (including Murano, Burano and Torcello) and some art heritage cities such as Treviso<\/strong> and Verona.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to get to Venice<\/h2>\n

There are many ways to get to Venice, but certainly for a week two ways<\/strong> stand out: the train and the plane. The \u201cVenezia Santa Lucia<\/strong>\u201d train station is well connected to all the main stations in Italy<\/strong> (Rome, Florence, Milan, Naples, …) and thanks to the \u201cfrecce\u201d<\/strong> (high-speed train) it becomes more favourable than the plane (both in terms of time and money) but also convenient because you reach the historical centre without others transports. For more detailed information, please feel free to visit the website of Trenitalia<\/a> or Italo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"una<\/strong>On the other hand, the plane<\/strong> can be suitable if you are coming from far away and maybe you have found a tempting offer, less expensive than the train. The two main airports to reach Venice are the \u201cMarco Polo<\/strong>\u201d in Tessera (you can reach easily \u201cPiazzale Roma\u201d or St. Mark’s Square with the bus or via ferryboat) and the \u201cSant’Angelo<\/strong>\u201d in Treviso (in 30 minutes with taxi or bus you will arrive in Venice).<\/p>\n

How to get around the city<\/h2>\n

Once you are in Venice, there are two main solutions to move around the city: either\u00a0by<\/strong> foot<\/strong> or by the \u201cvaporetto\u201d.<\/strong> Venice was built on water, therefore it can not be driven by cars. If you do not want to walk through the streets and bridges (435) you have to take the ferry (7,50 euro for single outbound ticket) and we suggest you to look at special tickets<\/strong> or those for 1,2,3 days or a week (if you plan to use them for more than one ride).<\/p>\n

You can do your own ticket<\/strong> at the ticket office (also automatic) outside the ferry stop or when you get on board but you have to ask for it at the ticket inspector. The lines connect every area of the city but pay attention at the different lines<\/strong> and the direction of travel (most of them are circular). For much information visit ACTV<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

\"unaThings to see in Venice<\/h2>\n

Venice is full of museums, churches, bridges<\/strong> and places of historical interest<\/strong>. Now we are going to provide to you a short description of the main areas (divided into 6 districts, which are named \u201csestieri\u201d) and a sort of \u201cmust-see\u201d:<\/p>\n
