In the 20+ years
since we launched our first Venice travel-planning site, we've seen visitors
make the same mistakes over and over--often at considerable cost in time, money,
or vacation enjoyment. This article is designed to prevent such glitches, and we
hope you'll find it useful.
ABOVE: Check your hotel's location carefully
before you book, unless you're prepared for a long walk or an expensive
water-taxi ride. INSET BELOW: In a city without cars, luggage can be a burden.
Important:
Our "top 11 list" is not just a slideshow with captions. On each page, we offer
practical advice, often with links to related articles at Venice for Visitors
and our parent site, Europe for Visitors.
