Churches of Santa Croce
The Church of San Nicolò da Tolentini sums up what makes Venice so amazing.
Palazzo Mocenigo
Palazzo Mocenigo houses the Museum of Textiles and Costumes and is part of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.
Museo di Storia Naturale
The Natural History Museum of Venice is housed in the Fondaco dei Turchi.
Ca’ Pesaro
This monumental Baroque palace on the Grand Canal houses the Oriental Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.
Giardini Papadopoli
One of the things you can miss on a longer stay in Venice is greenery! These are pleasant gardens near the bus station Piazzale Roma.
Hotel Papadopoli
Run by Sofitel, so extremely comfortable and well run, this hotel is very close to the train station and Piazzale Roma.
Hotel Falier
This is a very clean and well run two star budget hotel not that far from the bus station, Piazza Roma.
Hotel al Sole
This three star hotel is in a surprisingly grand building in a good location for both discovering Venice and for arriving to and from the bus station.
Ca’ Nigra Lagoon Resort
I am recommending this hotel on the basis of its beautiful garden on the Grand Canal and for its location close to the train station and Piazzale Roma, the bus station.
Da Lele
A tiny little bacaro by the magnificent but not that visited church of San Tolentino and very close to Piazzale Roma.
Gelateria Alaska
The owner, Carlo Pistacci, is passionate about his icecream and it is all home made.
Vecio Fritolin
High quality fish and seafood on offer in this well run restaurant.
Osteria Trefanti
In a tranquil location, Osteria Trefanti is a small, intimate but very pleasant restaurant.
Osteria Mocenigo
Homely and cosy casual restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.
La Zucca
Unusually for Venice, where fish is what is usually on offer, La Zucca offers vegetarian and meat dishes.
Ai Ponte del Megio
Lovely location by a junction of a couple of canals. Casual, friendly, low key trattoria with very good home made food.
Rio Marin
This nice low key pasticceria is located by a pleasant canal and has tables outside.
