Oh, what a kind comment! Let me know if you have any questions when you’re actually planning your trip – I’m also an AC Milan fan, so I’m even more happy to help.

I am from India and an hardcore AC Milan fan. I got up this morning and made up my mind hat i am sick of my work and decided to plan a trip to Milan- Venice some time next year before i start my MBA. And then i stumbled upon this website of yours. My god it feels like i am already in venice… I love the way you have given detailed description of every possible thing one should or should not do.
Rest assured that when i take that decision to book a flight from new delhi to milan next year (fingers crossed); your website will be one big reason behind me maing this decision…

Grazie
Sachin

I don’t think you’ll have any problems walking to your hotel from the train station – it will be dark, but there are usually enough street lights at strategic places to make it easy to walk without feeling like you’re walking blind. Just remember that there aren’t always railings alongside the canals, so if you’re *really* concerned about taking a wrong turn you might want to ask someone at the hotel if the walk is well-lit or bring a small flashlight just in case!

Hi Jessica,

My family of four ( 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 11) will be visiting Venice for 3 nights arriving 26th Dec. It looks like the train we will catch ( coming from Austria) will get us to Venice at about 6.10pm. We are staying in the Cannaregio area and plan to walk from the station. I am just wondering how dark Venice will be in the evening at this time of year, and are the streets well lit enough to find our way? The directions from the apartment seem fairly simple on paper.

Thankyou for your thoughts

While 5 days in Venice is a great suggestion, Mark, it’s such an expensive city to visit that I completely understand why people do it as a day-trip – or at least try to move on as soon as they can. This is why I recommend at least one night, so you get a couple of days in the city. If you can afford more, that’s great – but if not, at least you’ll have seen Venice for more than just a few hours when it’s most crowded.

Thanks for your kind words, Tricia!

Here’s my article on getting around Venice:

Your best bet is to find out from the hotel what they recommend for transport. If it’s not walking distance from the station, find out what traghetto stop is closest.
