The?5?best things to see/do in Venice

1. Visit St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace

Last minute deals to Venice
We recommended going on a tour that takes in the Bridge of Sighs and saves time with 'skip the line' access. The tour begins in St. Mark's Square and features a knowledgeable guide who will explain the history behind the magnificent sights of Venice's Byzantine must-sees.

2. Just go for a wander

last minute deals to Venice
Venice is small enough to be easily explored on foot in a few hours. If you don't fancy a guided tour, you can stroll by the canals, sit and relax in the small piazzas that punctuate the city and go cafe-hopping. Venice has plenty to offer without feeling that you have to tick off the main sites on a bucket list.

3. Ascend the Campanile di San Marco

last minute deals to Venice
The Campanile di San Marco is a bell tower and one of the main features of the Venetian skyline with amazing views of the city from the top. The good news is that the only way to the top is by elevator - no steps to climb!

4. Go for a ride in a Gondola

Last minute deals to Venice
It may be a bit of a tourist cliche but a gondola ride through the canals is always an enjoyable experience. Our tip: always agree the length of the ride and the price with the gondolier before you get in.

5. Take a trip to Murano and Burano

Last minute deals to Venice
Escape the crowds of central Venice and watch the work of traditional glass-blowers and lacemakers on these tiny islands.

Our practical advice for Venice?

What to pack for a last-minute holiday in Venice?

Take a full-size backpack rather than a wheeled suitcase. A few years ago, the city actually debated whether to ban suitcases and trolleys because of all the noise and inconvenience that comes with thousands of tourists hauling them up and down steps, along narrow cobbled streets and over bridges.

Winters in Venice are usually cool and wet so pack waterproofs and layers. Summers can be sweltering so sunglasses, suncream and lightweight clothes are essential.

What budget to plan for a last-minute trip to Venice?

Venice is not one of the most expensive cities in the world and there is plenty that can be enjoyed cheaply for those on a budget. Budgeting 100 euros per day would allow you to eat well in restaurants and go on a few trips. Don't forget to plan an additional budget for extras. Luckily, the last-minute offers for Voyage Prive members mean that you can enjoy even cheaper prices so your money will go even further.

Useful information before going to Venice

The time difference between Venice and the UK is only one hour so there is no need to worry about jet lag. To get the most out of your trip to this fascinating city, read up on its history before you go. Try not to go in July or August if you can help it. The city is at its most crowded, queue times are long and it is often unpleasantly hot. Use the special Vaporetto Dell’Arte boats by spending 10 euros on the required pass - the E10 extension. These boats are new, much less crowded and have free earphones for audio guides for the journey. Also, be aware that GPS devices are famed for not working well in Venice.

The Voyage Prive travel expert's opinion on Last Minute trip to France

Take a trip to the floating city

last minute deals to Venice - cheap prices

Once in Venice it’s almost difficult to imagine life on the land. The city is built along picturesque canals and waterways, streets are connected by ridiculously romantic bridges, and very quickly you become enchanted and forget that such things as roads and cars even exist. The lack of road traffic gives the city an enchanted, timeless feel. Travel by river bus from the city’s airport or train station, or, if you’d like to avoid the famous Italian noise and bustle, book a private water taxi. There are very few modern buildings in the centre of Venice, and our luxurious hotels are a charming window into a romantic era. Of course, for pure romance, it's difficult to beat the classic Venetian gondola ride!

Explore the heart of the city

The architecture in Venice is beautiful, and the traffic-free nature of the city makes it ideal to explore on foot. The city centre is compact, with the iconic St Mark’s Square at its heart. Enjoy an espresso or gelato – Italy is famous for both coffee and ice cream – while sitting in the sophisticated and elegant piazza, enjoying a spot of people (and pigeon) watching before going on to explore St Mark’s Basilica, with its famous bell tower. Italy is of course home to the most famous artists of the classical style, and as such you would expect the city to have a fitting art gallery. In this instance, you certainly won‘t be disappointed – there are several! The renaissance heritage is displayed to perfection in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, and the Guggenheim, situated on the Grand Canal, is a wonderful temple to modern art.

Sample Venice's specialities

While pizza and pasta are readily available, in Venice pasta is largely considered as merely a starter before you enjoy the traditional regional specialities. Stick with the spirit of spontaneity and explore the characterful bistros that can be found in the alleyways. Whatever delicious cuisine you choose, enjoy it with one of the light and fresh wines for which the Veneto region is famous and finish with the sweets traditionally enjoyed during the renowned Carnival of Venice.

Hôtel Radisson Blu Nice (Nice - France)

Review
The hotel was known to us, it is highly recommended. Location is beautiful and if you do not want to walk 4km to the city, take the bus, opposite the hotel or the tram, just behind the hotel, for € 1.50 in less than 10 minutes drive to the old town. Little lack, the restaurant has little choice, but there are many good and nice restaurants in the city. Breakfast is very good. Staff friendly and helpful. What I do not like at all is the fact that Voyage Prive has deducted twice the price of the travel expenses and until now 5 weeks later has not refunded the double amount.

The location on the Promenade des Anglais and the breathtaking view from our room (first night) over the Baie des Anges. The welcome and professionalism of the Staff. The exchanges and clever advice for our stay. The search for immediate solutions to our room change request. The proximity of Old Nice, the buses and the tram line which serves the city center and the airport. Free outdoor parking between 8:00 p.m. & 9:00 a.m.
