Venice in the south of Italy is something of a magical destination. It is located out in a lagoon, which you have to travel over by boat to reach. As you approach it, small island seem to appear out of the water some with trees, other with ruined buildings on. Until you finally get to Venice proper which is a marvel of medieval architecture canals and bridges. As you can tell you in for a wonderful time! But to make your trip even more wonderful, there are a few thing you need to do before you get there Read on to find out what they are.
Book your accommodations
So the number one thing you need to do when visiting Venice is to book your accommodation. Unless You are feeling super rich, it might be better to book a campsite or chalet across the lagoon. Space is very limited and at a high premium in Venice itself, which make hotel stays exorbitant.
It’s pretty easy to get the regular ferries across and back each day, so it not too much of a bother to stay off site in this way.
Sort your transport
The next thing you need to do is work out how you are going to get to Venice. Some folks choose to fly into Venice Marco Polo Airport. But its name is deceptive as of course it’s located on the mainland too.

Of course, there are some property well-established traditions in this area. Such as visits the Doge’s Palace, having a coffee is St Mark’s Square and riding on a gondola through the canals. You can even book a gondola Venice tour over the internet while you are still at home. Just to make things that little bit easier.
