Interesting Places In Venice – Italy
What to see in Venice?
Venice is not just stroll through its narrow streets, hundreds of bridges crossing over the canals, and riding a gondola … but not because it is typical, it ceases to be spectacular!
Here are some of the places not to be missed if you go to Venice:
Plaza de San Marcos
It is a huge square that was begun in the ninth century and is also the main tourist destination in Venice. It is surrounded by emblematic buildings: the Basilica San Marco, Palazzo Ducale and the bell of the basilica.
One of the key features of this square is full of pigeons, which capture most of the attention of tourists who give them food and they climb up! In the square itself there are people who sell food for pigeons, I think the price of a bag was € 1.50.
Basilica of San Marcos
This is the main Catholic church in Venice. Located just one of the heads of the Piazza San Marco and the entrance to it is free all year round. 1 October to 31 March, the hours are from 9:00 to 16:45 and from 1 April to 30 September, from 9.00 to 17.00.
At the same time you can visit the treasury of the Basilica (admission price € 2), the Pala d’Oro (admission price € 1.5) and the Museum of San Marcos (admission price € 3). All three places have the same hours as the basilica, also varying with the time of the year in which the visit.
Venice Travel Guide
Venice is a very small town, ideal for walking, crossing the channels for the countless bridges, and why not to give a typical gondola ride.
How to reach the center of Venice?
By plane:
Venice airport is called Marco Polo, and is located about 13 km from the city. It has two terminals for their flights, but has a free bus that you move from one to another.
To get to downtown from the airport there are two options:
—> By boat: There is a taxi boat service that leaves from the pier of the airport to the Plaza San Marcos. Travel is about 40 minutes and cost about 70 €.
—> By bus: depart from outside the airport, and there are two lines connecting the airport to Piazzale Roma: the Blue Bus (about 30 minutes away and the price is 2.5 €), or Line 5 (about 50 minutes away, the price is 1 € and the ticket is purchased at the newspaper shop inside the airport).
By train:
Venice has two train stations: Mestre and Santa Lucia. Mestre is not within the insular area of the city, so if your train arrives at this station, you must use any means of transport to get to downtown (you can take you a train to go to Santa Lucia, or a bus or taxi). In addition, Santa Lucia which is located and on the islands and from there you can make all journeys on foot (or if you prefer, use the vaporetto).
Accommodation in Venice
Within the insular area, there are actually very few hostels, but we stayed in one that not only was in that area, but was also a lot in price. His name is Santa Fosca, and although there was nothing about it is fun, if what you want is an inexpensive place to sleep, is ideal.
Transportation in Rome
Many monuments are within short distances between themselves, which go from one to another, it is best done on foot. However, it is a big city, and there are distances that are convenient not to make them walk.
As much as Rome has subway (very small … with only 2 lines), the best way of moving from one place to another, in our view, is to use the buses. The bus system, in addition to night services, and many lines that cover the entire city, has the great advantage of being “FREE”!
We’re not going to recommend not to pay the ticket, but hey, we in the 4 days we were, we took several buses to go to many places of the city, and none of them pay the ticket, nor an inspector climbed. If an inspector to climb, you can always play bell and get off at the next stop! 
For those wishing to pay your ticket (as it should be …), you can buy them in the “Little shrines (kiosks where they sell magazines) and the” tabacaios “(cigar). Sometimes they are sold in bars. Drivers do not sell.
The cost of the ticket is 1 € (at least it was in September 2007), like the subway, but with the difference that you have paid the departure and return, if you use the return trip in 75 minutes.

For this city, we spend 4 days, and we believe the time was right for what we wanted to see, although we know that this is something more personal.
How to reach the center of Rome?

The simplest option, any train to Rome will leave you in the train station “Termini”. Not only that Termini is a good starting point to begin the tour but here are the cheapest hostels. At Termini you have buses to anywhere in the city.
Arriving by plane:

* Rome Ciampino Airport: Bus Terravision also recommend.
* Ticket: No more than 10 euros each way.
