Venice is one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations, welcoming visitors all year round. The city is home to a wide variety of accommodation that will suit every visitor's need and budget.
Some of the best and most respected hotels in Venice include the Hotel Firenze, situated in the historic city centre, just 30 metres from St Mark's Square; The Santa Marina, a recently renovated historical hotel which can be found on Venice Island, and a good option for those travelling on a budget is Hotel Gallini, situated in the heart of the city close to the Rialto Bridge and St Mark's Square.
As a major tourist destination Venice offers some of Italy's finest hotels, but accommodation is limited and can very quickly book out for the summer months.
No vehicles are permitted in the Venice city precinct, adding to its charm and you'll need to arrange a transfer by vaporetti (water taxi). Pre booking is a good idea as it might be inconvenient to go looking for accommodation upon arrival. More options are available in nearby Mestre on the mainland.
