We decided to visit the famous city, Venice on Tuesday. There are several ways to get there from Lido di Jesolo using public transport: ship, bus+ ship, bus. First we checked the ship only version but it was a bit expensive compared to the limitations in the schedule. It goes 9am to Venice and comes back at 5pm for 22 EUR (one person). Not the best because we wanted to take some night photos too.
So we finally selected the second option so we bought a combined ticket for 18 EUR (return, one person) and planned to leave Jesolo after lunch. We caught the bus number 2 and at the bus station (last stop) the bus number 5 to Punta Sabbioni where we found the ship to Venice. The trip was nice but not too fast, lots of bus stops on number 5.
When we first saw the dock and the amazing amount of people we made a quick decision about skip the St. Mark’s square and go to the alleys with the hope of much less tourists. This was a great idea so we were able to take photos of the real face of Venice. The city seems much smaller on the maps than in the real life so we saw only a small part of this amazing place on this day. For a bigger exploration including some surrounding islands a week is needed.
Afternoon we went back to the centre of the island and noticed that half of the tourists already gone so we were able to look around at St. Mark’s square. It was not a lucky moment for us because they prepared the place for a concert and also several buildings was under restoration. After we looked around and played with the friendly pigeons we went to discover the alleys on the other side of the square. After we reached the La Fenice Theatre we headed back to the docks so we successfully caught the ship back to Jesolo at 22 pm. I took many photos there and selected only the best pictures for you so I hope you’ll enjoy the gallery below.
