Tips for visiting Venice

Murano glass comes from the island of Murano, a short vaporetto (water bus) ride away. Ask for a certificate of origin when you buy.
Burano, known for lace and colourful houses, is a boat ride from the main island.
Day visitors have had to pay an access fee on selected days. Check the city's official site before you go.
Walk away from the main routes at night. The quiet streets are the best part.

Dates, prices and rules change, so check official sites before you travel.

Getting to Venice by train

Train is the easiest way to get here. Venezia Santa Lucia is the station on the island itself. Many trains also stop at Venezia Mestre on the mainland, which is cheaper to stay near. Murano and Burano are reached by vaporetto, not train.
