Je cherche un hôtel à Venise, facilement accessible en arrivant de la gare.Est-il est facile de la gare , d'aller prendre les bateaux qui nous mènent directement à Venise?je recherche un hôtel modeste($$$)mais propre, au coeur de Vensise si c'est possible.Me suggérez-vous un hôtel plus retiré ou non?je suis vraiment embêter, il y a tant d'hôtels!!!!J'aimerasi beaucoup l'opinion de quelqu'un qui y soit allé dernièrement.Merci!!!
Bonjou Laurendeaufr !🙂
C'est ça un des plaisirs de Venise! On s'y loge en plein milieu de l'action sur les iles, en retrait sur le Lido, à proximité de la gare (Mestre) ou de l'aéroport (Marco Polo) et, peu importe la manière dont on l'aura vécu, on y trouvera des avantages ou désavantages selon la saison ou notre prochaine destination. Des hôtels, il en foisonne et de toutes les catégories, que ce soit en plein milieu de l'action ou à l'écart selon nos préférences.
Voici un site qui pourra vous aider à faire votre choix, selon le quartier (voir plan), sa banlieue (option), la catégorie, popularité ou les recommandations qui vous seront faites! Nous choisissons généralement aussi des 3* et avons toujours été satisfaits, quoique les 3* ne se ressemblent pas tous, mais assurent salle de bain privée et propreté. 😉 http://www.venere.com/...00&sb=1&ms=1
Les quartiers suivants vont permettront de voyager ainsi: Favaro-Veneto: Quartier plus tranquille, sur la rive nord, à proximité de l'aéroport. Accès aux Iles de Venise par auto ou Autobus-navette via le Pont de la Liberté. Mestre: Quartier plus achalandé, à proximitié de la gare, menant dans les Iles de Venise via le Pont de la Liberté. Oui il est facile d'accéder aux vaporettos à votre sortie de la gare Santa Lucia; vous pourrez descentre le grand canal vers le Pont Rialto, la place St-Marc ou tout autre destination de votre choix. Lido: Endroit plus villégiature (plage de sable), mais avec accès par voiture ou autobus-navette aux vaporettos pour la place St-Marc ou autres destinations sur les iles de Venise. San Marco: C'est le quartier le plus populaire en fait des sites touristiques.
Si vous choississez de loger sur les iles de Venise, attendez-vous à avoir à transporter vos valises de la gare ou vaporetto jusqu'à votre hôtel via places, rues, ponts ...et touristes! Donc l'emplacement est important dépendant comment vous arriverez dans Venise. Mais un séjour sur les iles vous permettra d'en savourer toute la manière de vivre.
Je vous invite à lire mes messages publics sur Venise et les iles de Murano, Burano et Torcello.
P.S.: Voici quelques renseignements sur les passes ACTV pour voyager dans Venise. http://www.e-venise.com/transports-venise-vaporetto-actv.htm

Mestre: Quartier plus achalandé, à proximitié de la gare
Mestre n'est pas un "quartier" de Venise mais une ville à part entière de l'autre côté de la lagune.
Et pour ce qui est de la gare Santa Lucia, elle est à Venise même et non pas Mestre qui a la sienne également. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gare_de_Venezia_Santa_Lucia

Mestre fait partie de la commune et a fortiori de l'agglomératlon de venise dont elle est le coeur économique ( commerces , sièges sociaux , industries ) ; aucun interêt touristique mais bon plan pour loger et stationner sa voiture moins cher , le train et les bus permettant de rester très tard dans la venise touristique
Salut,
la garre de Venise se trouve vraiment à Venise et à partir de la! tu peux marcher à pieds ou bien prendre un bateau en sortant de la garre, tu trouves l'arrêt (ferrovia) pour se diriger vers le centre ( place st-marco).
bonne visite

Venise est divisée en 6 quartiers ( Sestiere ) et Mestre n'en a jamais fait partie.
En tout cas, je pense qu'il ne faut le présenter sous ce terme bien précis.

Bonjour Laurendeaufr🙂
Je ne pensais pas susciter tant de répliques avec un seul commentaire! 😉 Comme quoi il faut être très précis, sinon les gens s'enfargent dans nos propos et nous prêtent des intentions qu'on a pas...Je pensais pourtant avoir été très claire...😊
Souvent quand les touristes parlent de Venise, ils croient que tout ça, Mestre, l'aéroport, le centre touristique sont dans un même endroit. Et quand on regarde les sites touristiques et les hôtels, ces derniers parlent effectivement de Mestre et autres villes et quartiers...tout ça mélangé ensemble. Nous étions logés dans un hôtel de Favaro Veneto cette année et pourtant notre documentation indiquait Venise comme emplacement!
Vazyvite est correct dans ses propos, mais a vu dans les miens une intention qui n'y était pas. Effectivement Mestre n'est pas un quartier de Venise, mais, situé sur la rive nord, fait partie de l' "agglomération de Venise" (merci Giorgio13) comme bien d'autres "secteurs" (villes). Je distingue toujours la Venise touristique et ses 6 quartiers (Cannaregio, Santa Croce, San Polo, San Marco, Dorsoduro et Castello) comme LA Venise ou les iles de Venise. Mais encore, certains viendront me contredire que les iles de San Michele, Le Vignole, Murano, Burano, Torcello et autres ne font pas partie des "iles de Venise" (le grand poisson) et pourtant elles font bien partie de la grande Venise.
Ce qu'on ne semble pas pas avoir saisi dans mon message, c'est que si vous prenez le train dans la gare de Mestre, il vous emmène à la gare de Santa Lucia sur les iles de Venise (grand poisson). Vous marchez un peu pour sortir de la gare et sortez sur le Fondamenta Santa Lucia près du Pont Scalzi où vous attendent Vaporetto et taxis d'eau qui vous emmèneront à la destination (arrêt) de votre choix le long du Canal Grande.
Espérant que c'est clair maintenant pour vous et autres! 🙂 Sinon, n'hésitez pas à me questionner....

Bonjour,
Je vous conseille l'hôtel Bartolomeo près du pont Rialto.😉

Les voyages, les rêves, la vie.
nous sommes en démocratie , chacun est libre d'écrire ce qu'il veut , mais le maire et le conseil municipal de venise sont aussi le maire et le conseil municipal de mestre ( vu le nombre d'électeurs ils sont d'ailleurs plutot choisis par les gens de mestre) , ceux qui sont nés à mestre ont écrit sur leur acte de naissance et leur carte d'identité :" né à venise " ; alors si on veut jouer sur les mots , mestre n'est pas un sestiere de venise ( qu'on traduit abusivement en français par quartier , alors que c'est une notion et un mot qui n'existent qu'à venise ) c'est , en italien , une frazione de venise
Tu dois faire partie des gens qui trouvent tout à fait normal que les agences ou les catalogues écrivent : Passer 1 nuit à Venise et qu'on les fasse dormir à Mestre. 😇
Une lune de miel à Mestre ...Waouhhhhhh, quel romantisme ! Que de beaux souvenirs ! Quelles belles photos !
Ben écoute si tu trouves ça honnête, je te laisse juge ... mais je ne pense pas que cela va satisfaire vraiment le client 😕

Bonjour, un ami sera en visite en Grande-Bretagne au mois d'août et souhaiterait découvrir des endroits représentatifs du Danemark avant son retour au Canada.
Quelles activités à prix abordables, si possible, pourriez-vous lui conseiller?
Il en serait heureux car il a beaucoup d'appréciation pour les pays du Nord, sans doute ses origines d'un pays nordique y sont pour quelque chose.
Merci
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.

Hi everyone,
We’re a family of 4, and we’ve booked our flight tickets for a 6-day trip to Barcelona from October 18 to 24, 2026.
Now we’re looking for accommodation, and we’re a little panicked by the prices. Our initial searches are showing nightly rates of 250 or 300 €.
So our question is: are we missing something to find more affordable options? And do you have any great tips to share with us?
Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions!

Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
Hello,
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included. Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time. I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right? - Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉

Amazing trip in May 2026: fantastic landscapes, such a different vibe from our other journeys, wonderful memories, but...
- Discovering the population: very few "native" Icelanders,
and exceptional discretion from the police, who were notably absent from the white vehicle stopped by the roadside that caught us speeding in mid-May... To this day, only our inquiry with the car rental company has informed us of a "speeding ticket" message. More than a month later, we still don’t know the "severity" of the offense or the amount of the fine we’ll be "hit with."
Well, well, a taste of Icelandic administrative experience...

Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Thanks

Hi there,

I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?

Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.

It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.

Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.

Hi there, 🙂
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us! We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape. We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options. Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Our main goal is hiking.
Thanks for your tips!😉

I’d love to get your thoughts on the following itinerary (late May). I like to take my time in ruins and museums, and beaches don’t interest me. I’ll be staying in hostels and using public transport. Do you see any major omissions or things that aren’t worth it? Thanks!

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’ll be in Copenhagen this coming May for a few days.
Do you have any recommendations for things to visit?
If I had to pick one castle to visit, which one would it be?
I’m torn between: Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace, or Frederiksborg and Charlottenborg Palaces
Any suggestions?
Thanks

hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?
Thanks to the community for your suggestions!

Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
We’ll be staying in London for 3 nights in September.
Could you recommend a hotel near a tube station, at a good price, with fairly spacious rooms?
Thanks! 🌸

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions: Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential... Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day? Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit. Have a great day, everyone! Christine

Hello,
we’re a couple planning a 2-week road trip this August, with a must-stop (about 3 days on Skye). Any route suggestions? Hotel recommendations? Photo spots?
Hello,
My husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland in September 2026. We’ll be flying from Montreal to London, where we’ll spend three nights. After that, we’ll head to Dublin for a few days and take trains to visit the main attractions. Our ideal plan would be to choose hotels near train stations and take tours to the interesting spots. Would 8 days in Ireland be enough for this kind of trip?
