It’s one of the most narcotic places that you ever may encounter. You visit, you visit again and again, but you can’t stop. Yes, this is Venice that we’re talking about. It may change, but ever so slightly. The crowds are still there, heaving, pushing and shoving, but you always find a way out and make your own path. One way of making all your own is to get there early, before the heaving crowds. Our affiliate partners, Musement have

When we’re there, we prefer to stay at When in Venice, we like the Hotel Aurora. In Mestre, it’s very near to everything, Hotel Aurora is right in front of a bus stop offering direct links to Venice, and Venezia Mestre Train Station is located 2 km away. It features air-conditioned rooms with TVs. The Aurora Hotel is right in the heart of Mestre, surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. Venice is just across the lagoon. Your room at the Aurora comes with a minibar, safe and private bathroom with hairdryer. Breakfast is served each morning and is a mix of sweet and savoury food, including fresh pastries. What a way to start the day. You’ll love Hotel Aurora. We did. To book, click here.
