If someone could enlighten me please

I will be visiting Venice for the first time in mid September. I hope to stay in the city for a few nights. I will be driving...... How does this work? If you can't drive into the city?... where would you park your vehicle?....and how would you get to the hotel or B&B.

You will have to take a ferry.The car will stay in the parking lot.There are water taxis that can take you pretty much anywhere there. Go off the beaten path to find truly great venetian food.Have a great time.

I would just add that you not forget Venice is only two miles end to end. I have two bad knees and I traipsed all over for 3 days without any problems this past February. Its a great city to walk in that it doesn't have all that traffic of Rome or Florence.

Venice is such a lovely place..

Hi Joeybell,

In getting off the beaten path in Venice, I suggest a stop in Murano to visit the glass factories. I recently co-authored an article about a Muranese bead maker named Luigi Cattelan. He describes the history and sacrifice that his ancestors endured to bring glass making to where it is today. I wish I had known about the history when I visited five years ago. I also wish I had bought more beads!

Anyway to get access to your article? I would be interested in read it.
