Venice is considered the most beautiful and oldest city in Italy. It is located next to the Adriatic Sea and has preserved the architecture of the heyday of the Venetian Republic (XV-XVI centuries). Prices in Venice are high, so the rest there is associated with a lot of spending.
Accommodation
A weekly ticket to the famous Italian city with a flight from Moscow costs 38-60 thousand rubles (for two people). The price of the tour largely depends on the category of the hotel and on the set of additional services. Most of Venice hotels are close to attractions. Renting a room at the Olimpia Hotel, which is located in the historic center, costs from 6500 rubles per day. In Venice, housing, on average, costs 25-700 euros, depending on the location. The hotels offer tourists free breakfasts.
Excursions
It is best to book individual excursions. They provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the best sights of the city along a route that is convenient for a tourist. The cost of such excursions is high. Group excursions are cheaper. The sightseeing program includes a tour of St. Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace. It lasts 2 hours and costs 30 euros.
In the summertime, the city is filled with a specific smell because of the buildings rotted from below. Tourists visit Venice to admire an unusual city and take a ride on gondolas. There is a well-maintained sandy beach, which is free of charge. It is located next to the Lido stop.
