A Long Weekend in Venice, Italy & the Surrounding Islands
Plan For Me Dani
Available for hire
There is so much to see and do in and around Venice, Italy that you could easily spend quite a few days here. This guide will detail MORE than enough things to do in 3-4 days in Venice and the surrounding islands. If you want MORE to do I've also spent time in the Prosecco Hills and the town of Treviso which are both about 45 minutes outside of Venice, feel free to reach out. I have also spent time in the nearby Dolomites so again, I am happy to consult with you about any of those areas as well!
This guide will detail why you should visit Venice.
-How to best arrive & exit Venice & how to get around while you are there.
-Include multiple options for where to stay, all of which I have personally stayed in and can recommend. From luxury (our honeymoon hotel), to airbnb with an incredible water door onto the canal, to a more budget friendly hotel that also has a stunning canal view. There are options for everyone in Venice.
-It will detail some amazing things to see, do, eat, and drink in Venice!
-It will also detail how to take small day trips to neighboring islands of Burano, Murano, Torcello, and Mazzorbo.
Why Venice?
Venice is such a fantastic and romantic city. Walking along or boating along the canals is an experience I truly believe you want to have in your lifetime. Once you get the hang of it, it definitely feels like a "little big city". You can walk to anything in Venice if you don't mind getting your steps in. You can also get around by water bus, water taxi, and the famous gondolas. You can eat SO well here and drink great wines at reasonable prices. There are countless things to do and see here and the islands off of Venice are equally as exciting and beautiful! This guide will detail tons of options for things to do in Venice. Most of them I have done, I will add a few things I haven't done that I find would be truly worthwhile. This way you can pick and choose what appeals best to you.
***I am also available for consultation about your Venice trip and would love to talk to you and work with you to create your perfect experience!

How to get to Venice
Quick Tip:
It pays to pack light for Venice. No matter where you stay it's likely that you'll have to do a bit of walking to get to your hotel. We used backpacks for our trip so that we didn't have to roll bags and haul them up and down the streets and over bridges. This is VERY beneficial if you can manage it.
If you fly into Venice you'll most likely fly into VCE. From here you have multiple options to get into the city.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Plan For Me Dani
Available for hire
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years.
One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself.
My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip!
My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
