After visiting the family on the Ligurian Coast we drove to Venice. The drive isn't bad and we were there early in the afternoon. We stayed at the Crown Plaza just outside Venice in Quarto d'Altino which is very close to a train station. The next day we took the train into Venice which took about 30 minutes and then took a water taxi to St. Marks Square.
This time of year the number of tourists is lower than the summer and lines were short. We were able to see everything in the square and also get a gondola ride in. The weather was perfect and we got to relax in the square.
Last time I was there we took the water taxi back. This time we decided to walk. Walking was a much better experience. The walk is long but along the way you will come across many different neighborhoods each unique in itself. We stopped along the way for drinks and to take in the sites. All in all it was worth the walk.
Some people say Venice is better at night when most of the tourists leave. I would have to agree.
