http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33723 We eventually got to our destination, Rialto, and then it started to snow. Venice is romantic at anytime but in the winter it’s never bettered.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28476
The enticing Rialto Bridge is the oldest and the most fascinating bridge in this beautiful city. The overpass consists of magnificent pillars and amazingly crafted arches. You can witness the stunning view of the Grand Canal while shopping and snuggling up to your lovely partner.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28476 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16653 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16653 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12467 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12467 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11859
Accommodation in Venice is not cheap - and neither is this hotel - but the streets are litter free, public transport is brilliant, all goods have to be delivered by boat: if you consider these costs and the taxes that businesses must pay to cover them, then it is surely value for money. You can't expect to stay in a museum for nothing!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11859 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5973
It was quiet, tastefully decorated and it was great to come back in the evening after a long day's sightseeing and put our feet up in the little courtyard, together with a drink of Prosecco. Being on a budget, some evenings we cooked our own meals, so it was good to be a couple of bridges away from one of only two supermarkets I have come across in Venice.

Recommended as a romantic getaway for a couple or an inexpensive spot for a small family (there was a sofabed in the living room).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5973
