I don’t exactly know about the connections from there to Venice, because we had our own car. But I think you can find it out through Venice’s websites.

And it is defenetly worth it! Just be careful if you have a strict schedule that you don’t get lost and have enough time to get back. Venice has a lot of small streets to get lost to and I would say that at this time of the year also alot of tourist who also make it hard to be quick :)

hi,

you have time to go to venice from the airport..you can find info about transport here: http://www.veniceairport.it/core/index.jsp?_requestid=1017927&language=en

venice is such a great place to visit, spending just few hours is not really the best you can do…but better than nothing if you’ve never been there…anyway as soon as you arrive just start walking around….you’ll find such great places all around you…my suggestion for a short period is to look around and don’t “waste” time inside museums…

venice is divided in 6 areas called SESTIERE. they are:

1. CANNAREGIO

2. DORSODURO

3. S.POLO

4. S.CROCE

5. S.MARCO

6. CASTELLO

and a big island called GIUDECCA

so just go, walk and enjoy yourself!!

have a nice trip

I found it worth visiting Venice on a daytrip from Florence, so visiting from the Venice airport should definitely be worth it. As for what to do, I think in Venice you can pretty much do anything and have a worthwhile visit—everything about the city is fascinating.

the Vaporetto that runs from near the airport to the main island (along the Grande canal) takes about 2 1/2 hrs of travel-time,,,so if you can manage it — stow your luggage in an airport locker & GO !!

it is Completely Worth it; i got to spend a week there a year ago, & i became head over heels in love with the city: i seriously want to move there. So much of the city is as it was for nearly 1,000 years. If you have time for nothing else, go to the palazzo de San Marco— its right along the Grande Canal, 5 to 7 stops down) and tour the Bascilla San Marco — an awe inspiring, magnificent Bascilla (i.e church/cathedral/shrine, seat of the Doge, religious & political leader) The original structure was built over the remains of Saint Mark of the gospels,,,(whom the Venetians snatched from Alexandria) when the Venetians took as their patron saint (wherever you see a Lion icon with wings, as on the flag & a majority of buildings, thats represents San Marco/St Mark), and the bascillica was constructed from 829ce to 1000ce. It contains some of the most exquisite examples of Byzantine Mosaics in the world (which the Venetians snagged from Constantinople)(the early Venetians were like that ;D) The sanctuary of the Bascilica, with its vaulted dome & completely covered in gold-leaf mosaics is one the most incredible sites i’ve ever seen…

And then dash into one of the little cafe’s & get yourself a panni sandwich for the ride back — so flavorful they require no mayo or mustard (and this is from a complete mayo-addict :)

i hope youre able to make the trip…!

You must go, as someone said get the water taxi (V) they mentioned you can get a special ticket so you can get on & off etc, it comes with a map. Must go to San Marc square & if you haven’t got time to visit museums ( long q’s) go in the shop (Bascilla)so you can look at the ceilings, gold to get the picture. In the square it’s surrounded with cafes they are expensive as is the gonderlas but if you walk about just outside they are cheaper. Don’t forget a cocktail in Harrys bar. Visit Murrano the glass island & visit the glass blowers in action, have a walk around & enjoy a snack by the water & a drink. Once you’ve been you’ll want to return.I’ll try & post a pic for you to get the picture. Enjoy the magic

Hi Madchickvic…

you do not say which airport, Treviso or Marco Polo? but anyway there is a bus service and taxi service from both, and Marco Polo airport has a water boat service. Is it worth a visit?

Oh god yes!!

Have a great trip.

Absolutely it’s worth it! Especially if you get into Venice in the afternoon, and you make your way over to the city before sundown. It is BEAUTIFUL watching the sun set over the Grand Canal. Venice at night, in my opinion, is even better than Venice by day. And I must agree with Strongmotion, just be careful that you don’t get lost, because my mom and I got lost and almost missed our boat back to the inland! (Not that we would have minded staying in Venice overnight! :-p) Just be careful, have fun, and enjoy!!! It is a trip you’ll never forget!!

oh this is a tough question. frankly u dont have much time. it will take u half an hour to get into the island and even then a part of venice is like seeing the whole. yes im sure there are nice bylanes and cute canals that gondolas can get into. but if u’re pressed for time…and u are then i suggest u take the bus to the station and head to the island. get on a vaparetto take a quick look around, buy a san marino glass memento and a mask if u must and come back. if u manage to hook up with someone, make it a quickie and if he turns out to be the love of ur life…then hey presto…u have a story to tell ur grandchildren. have fun.
