Hu Venezia Camping In Town

A 20-minute coach trip will take you to Venice's Piazzale Roma, the main gateway to the city for buses, taxis and trams. From here, trip over the stone small bridge to get to the centre of Venice and St Mark's Square in about 40 minutes (follow the yellow and black signs to San Marco, up above on several street corners along the way). If you'd rather hail a vaporetto (water bus), pick up a ticket at the Hellovenezia office near Calatrava Bridge to catch vaporetti all over Venice. It's cheaper to get a tourist travel card than to journey on a pay as you go basis if you're in town for longer than a day, especially if you're venturing further to the Venice Lagoon islands such as Burano or the glassmaking centre of Murano; visit these as the sun sets for spectacular vistas over the water. Leather, glassware and jewellery stalls and shops are abundant on the Rialto Bridge and the streets lining it to and from St Mark's Square. You'll also easily be able to sort a gondola ride from here; just ask one of the gondoliers what their price is – and be sure to establish what that includes, as some of the cheaper rides don't take in all the main sights.
