Venice Everyone should visit Venice at least once
in their lifetime just to experience the unique blend of history,
culture and charisma that this wonderful place has to offer. New
visitors to Venice are recommended to spend their first day
exploring the mysteries of the ever changing Grand Canal. Public
water buses or Vaporetto as they are known locally, stop at
landing piers positioned on both sides of Grand Canal where
visitors can hop off for a few minutes or spend longer at the
more interesting attractions like the Rialto Bridge and St Marks
Square. Venice Island boasts some of the most expensive hotels in
the world, especially the prestige 5 star rated establishments.
Hotel room rates in Venice vary drastically depending on seasonal
demand but can be particularly expensive around the Venice
Carnival in February, the International Film Festival held on the
Lido Island in August-September and the Regatta Storica first
Sunday in September. Looking for a Venice Hotel bargain? November
and early December are the least popular months to visit, but
this is the only time cheap hotels in Venice actually exist.

Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station Is positioned
in the Cannaregio sestiere at the top of the Grand Canal. The one
main advantage of staying in hotels within easy walking distance
of the station is that you will avoid the hassle of carrying and
pulling your luggage on and off the Vaporetto. The area around
the Santa Lucia railway station although busy is nothing like the
madness of the Piazza St Marco area in the height of the tourist
season. Board the Vaporetto water bus outside the station and the
lenght of the Grand Canal can easily be explored, including the
Rialto Bridge and surrounding daily market and souvenir shops.
The Cannaregio area around the Santa Lucia station is recommended
for first time visitors to Venice. There are many comfortable
hotels nearby including the Hotel
Principe at Lista Di Spagna 146 and the Hotel
Carlton on the Grand Canal at Sestiere Di Santa Croce
578.
