Don't take too many bags, because your next destination has to be reached by vaporetto (waterbus), motoscafo (watertaxi) or gondola!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15825 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15824
If your an adventurous type, the campsite at Mistre on the mainland overlooking Venice old town is ideal and with great facilities.

It even has its own boat service to the old city. If the boat works out a bit pricey, buses from Mistre campsite take you to Mistre transport exchange, from which a five minute ride by train or bus takes you to the heart of Venice proper- couldn't be easier.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15824 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2911
Still, people complain about high prices in Venice, even the Venetians. I think the British are lucky on any trip, because there is no way you'll pay coffee and sandwich prices that we do over here! Just have a 'toast' (ham and cheese toasted sandwich) and a coffee and you'll pay 3 Euro depending on where you go. Even my Milanese friend couldn't believe prices in DuChamp on Camp Santa Margerita ("But how is it possible? I don't understand. HOW is it possible?") So, don't always believe the myths.

Also, hotels often decrease prices significantly in low season, and while often freezing, it is worth it for a deserted San Marco, and a real look at Venice.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2911
