VENICE • ITALY • TRIP • TIPS • TRAVEL • SAVINGS

Natalia Shpachinskaya: "We have a lot of things, not" like people. " With Travel, Including, Often Seen very little in advance Correspondence to Read and Expected. Quite A Different London, Istanbul, Florence - her Short TOP of the list That Appears before us "on the Other." Venice ... well, it WAS Bound to BE Different. Did not Disappoint icon wink Other Venice: Impressions, revelations, tips"

 1. "In Venice is always A Crowd of people. And at the carnival They Simply Millions! "

About the Millions do not Hesitate to Write news sites, and About the crowds, crowds Say Our Italian friends. So we Were going on A Journey with great caution, Given the dislike of large crowds; I calculate in advance the options Retreat in Padua and Chioggia and Pretend to BE Space on the Emergency Evacuation VAPORETTO if Necessary. As A result, people in the City WAS somewhere in the Photo above. And below. On the Piazza San Marco, of course, more like They Were Any near popular turobekta in any big city, but rather big area, to put it mildly, so that it is as the crowd on the Day of the City in the central square of Dnepropetrovsk, we have seen 10 minutes to San Marco the Opening day of the carnival. No , she was there longer, just enough for us 10 minutes, and then we turned onto the next street, and all the following days walking around like this:

 2. "Channels smell. Not violets. "

Violets and the Truth are not the season right now, But as Cyclamen Bloom on the windowsill! As to the smell of the Channels, then something really WAS. In A couple of places, not very pronounced. As in Any City, in Fact.

 3. "The pigeons in Piazza San Marco - A National disaster. A CAT not at All, not like in Other Cities coastal. "

Another version Heard, About the Fact That with the pigeons in the Square and are Actively Fighting Them there now - like Those cats. The reality is That there are pigeons. Moderately. And of course, They are Traditionally decorated with Lion's head, alternately with seagulls. And beg for Food from Tourists. But if anyone saw pigeons and seagulls in London, you Will Agree That They are not Competitors Venetian Directly even once, That's WHERE the Talent for Begging Laid in Childhood. A CAT really is not A lot , I think, Because few trees. But only worth A visit to the yard - there are They. And They are in the park. And on the Islands They Reign and prosper, like All coastal cats, Most importantly, do not Forget to share a sandwich icon wink Other Venice: Impressions, revelations, tips

 4. "Expensive, too, how everything is expensive!".

Certainly, the Prospect of "no lohanutsya" Venice Mass, as in Any Tourist Place. But if you follow the simple rules, A la "pre-Book Tickets / hotels", "do not Eat at the Town Square Most central," " not BE Conducted on the Most pop Tourist Attractions ", the trip CAN Get enough budget. No, not very Cheap, But not the Horror, the Horror.

Here's a little calculation:

€ 65 - tickets Juliani Treviso-Juliani per person (purchased on the stock VizzEyr in September 2012), 

280 euros (70 euros / night) - 4 Nights in A Hotel in Venice; Double Room Hotel near Railway / Train station (booked immediately after the purchase of tickets. Option to settle in the Lido or Mestre was swept away as not rational, time / cost of travel from there to Venice daily savings is multiplied by zero) 

7 euros - transfer from / to airport Treviso (if taken immediately back -to-back, the 12 Euro) 

€ 8 - hour travel by Vaporetto, 18 euros - a travel of 12 hours (and so on, the more trips, so they are cheaper. We took hours for the trip to Burano and semidiurnal for an active day - A Walk on the Grand Canal, A trip to Murano, an Evening stroll).

 

€ 20 - dinner at Trattoria double meat and side dish, pasta, dessert and wine (we love to eat meat with garnish objectively enough to saturate ). 

€ 1 - espresso, 1.3-1.5 euros - cappuccino, 1-1.5 euros - a traditional carnival donut, 6-8 euros - a large pizza (all the same, but not to take away, and in a cafe - a half to two times more expensive. And buying coffee = pass into the toilet. And for the price of 1: 1) 

18 euro - docked at the supermarket «Bella»: apples, bread sticks, two large bottles of mineral water, cheese, cold cuts, 700 grams of cooking lasagna, bank olives, cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese dessert two 500 ml. (Set Meal A day for two lovers to Eat dense)

At the same time, you can, of course, and the hotel is 500 euros / night to find, and a gondola ride for 100 euros, and coffee in the 'Floriana' for 10 euros drink. So if it's Important to Spend more Money - such opportunities will be, by far.

 6. "Be sure to ride on the Grand Canal!".

A half-hour walk (per person!) Cost of curious tourists at $ 70, as Stated in one of the posting of information fences. Maybe you CAN Bargain. And, Probably, "once to experience it" Costs too. But if the desire to ride on the main artery of the city and water view from three main bridge - Railway station, Rialto and the Academy, magnificent palaces - Golden Palace, Palazzo Pisani-Moretti, the Palazzo Ducale, the Cathedral of San Marco, San Zaccaria, the church of San Giorgio on the Island on the Lagoon, Bridge of Sighs and the Venice Lagoon, the VAPORETTO # 1 - your choice. Look to Claim 4, where I have already said that such a trip will cost 7 euros from the face. A species of the sameicon wink Other Venice: Impressions, revelations, tips

 7. "We're going to All Die! Cold, freeze and drown. "

A week before Our trip to Venice she Drowned. Large-scale and globally so. Well, the weather WAS Predicted, rain, Fog, damp, Barr! Actually it's All there in Our Home, Including Floods - you Would have Seen how heat A little center-millionth as clogged Drains, IE Practically after every rain. So nothing Extreme in Venice is not Expected, and by the end never Happened. Two days very bright sun and 10, then partly cloudy, but too dry and not cold +5 . Boots, umbrellas CAN BE Bought at A Shop on Any Street, the price at Home. This is not in Venice Because everything right so Cheap, it's Because the House is not the boots the Same Format ACP 10-30 Cu, But it is not Needed and is Fine. Here is A mask, Probably it WAS cool in the Morning on the Waterfront, But not All, Most of the sewing Costumes Explicitly considering poddevaniya Under Them 2-3 layers Thermal Underwear. I Took one.

 8. "Oh, Murano glass!".

And masochist, kruzhavchiki and branded odezhechki. Shopping in Venice, of course, the very Could BE Same black Hole into Which All utekut Saved by Means of Claim 4. Why not, Indeed. But in All honesty - China ATE Our Market. And European Market souvenir too. Because I saw there the Same Traditional set of things That are in Kiev, Moscow, Prague, Istanbul, etc. Masks, of course, for every taste Plenty and purse. From 5-10 euros to until you Get bored. plastic, cardboard, Papier-mâché - to Choose from. There are lovely, so much But my Money Machine is not yet published. But Murano glass acutely reminded Soviet Production Comes from WHERE WAS she there? In General, vases, figurines - the ones directly.
