Getting to Venice

una famiglia appena arrivata alla stazione ferroviaria It is not at all difficult to get to Venice: there are good connections with "the rest of the world" via land, air and sea. The problems, however, start once you've arrived.

We all know that reaching one's destination can sometimes be difficult if you are visiting a city for the first time. Here in Venice everything is even more complicated: it's not easy to cope with the limited number of car parks, the various types of public road transport, the numerous boat lines and the intricate network of "calle" (small streets), squares and bridges.

Those who suffer the greatest shock when they first come to this city are, without a doubt, the species who regards the car as a second skin. Here in Venice he is going to have to "shed his skin" if he wants to get around and walk on the hard Venetian pavements, leaving his beloved four-wheels in a dark garage....

Seriously, before you get to Venice you must remember that you will probably either be walking a lot or using the public transport.
