Venetian weekend

Venetian weekend – main image

Magical Italia is the perfect destination for long summer holidays. You can start your journey in Italy in the mountain north and go all the way to the hot south, slowly and calmly visiting all the most important places and relaxing on the beach. In this way, we can spend a month in this one country and ... still not have enough! But what if the boss is frowning at our plans for four weeks off and does not want to let us go on a dream trip? Well, then we must not give up our dreams of getting to know this unique corner of Europe - but instead of a month-long escapade, we can go there for a weekend, taking advantage of the rich offer of cheap flights. Where? The best, of course, to romantic Venice - the world's capital of love! Of course, it is impossible to see all the monuments that this amazing city hides in two short days, but if we prepare a good plan, we can see the most wonderful ones. So, which places in Venice are in this "top class"?

Venetian charts

Everyone knows that visiting Venice is mainly getting to know the real treasures of architecture. It is here that you can see the finest examples of Gothic and Renaissance art. The best architects, painters and sculptors of their epochs used to come to the rich Venetian port in the past. The obligatory point is, of course , St. Marka - the heart (a bit crowded) of this city. It is a true masterpiece of urban space planning - spacious and surrounded by the mansions of wealthy families and the institutions of the republic's authorities, it is teeming with life from morning until late evening hours. The square is home to the mighty St. Mark , where there are the remains of this saint, an altar decorated with gold and precious stones, and a treasury where numerous treasures of Byzantium are kept. Another "hit" is the nearby Doge's Palace - the rulers of Venice. The imposing gothic building with numerous columns, portals and ornate vaults is one of the most magnificent medieval residences in all of Europe. Each, even a short, vacation in Venice should lead us to one of the famous bridges. The most important of them is the famous Bridge of Sighs - Ponte dei Sospiri , which connects the Doge's Palace with the nearby prison. It is a real showcase of the city, whose fame rivals only ... another bridge - Rialto . This magnificent stone structure is one of the most photographed places in Italy. The last bridge is the unique Ponte dell'Accademia - one of the four connecting the two shores of the Grand Canal . This is the place of lovers who hang small padlocks with their initials here. And, of course, the Venetian canals - the famous Grand Canal and hundreds of smaller, quiet and picturesque ones are worth visiting by a gondola or ... a water tram, i.e. a vaporetto . Although this list seems short, believe us, it is worth spending two days on "implementing" it in order to be able to fully appreciate the charm of the city of love.

Campsites in Venice

Since Venice is quite a crowded city, it is hard to find accommodation here that would allow you to catch a moment of respite after a day of sightseeing. Therefore, if we want to find a good accommodation in Venice, it is worth choosing accommodation in one of the numerous campsites. Camping in Venice is a great option for people who value peace and the opportunity to relax in the bosom of nature. Camping Union Lido is an excellent choice. It is situated on the beautiful Lido peninsula , only 45 min. from Venice and is well connected with it. The beach is only 500 meters away, and on site you can enjoy a really rich offer of water sports (windsurfing, kitesurfing, diving). A friendly atmosphere, great people from all over the world and proximity to the most wonderful monuments of Northern Italy - what more could you ask for while on a vacation in Venice ?

La Spezia - a special holiday in Italy
Tourists who choose to explore the stunning Ligurian coast usually choose Genoa, Lavento or La Spezia as their starting point, which we will take a closer look at today. As the second largest city in the region, it boasts excellent communication with the greatest attractions of Liguria. It also has a lot to offer its visitors. What to see during your stay in the city and the surrounding area? What dishes to order in a restaurant to taste real Ligurian cuisine? We invite you to read!. La Spezia is a typical port city, inhabited by less than 100,000 people. Life in it revolves around atmospheric taverns and pubs near the marina and seaside promenades, such as Banchina Thaon di Revel, where tourists walk, visiting fashionable boutiques and shops. La Spezia, although mainly known as an important railway junction, boasts a well-preserved old town. The historic center of the city stretches from the port to the main station, between which you can admire well-kept tenement houses and squares. The rich history of the city is worth discovering in baroque churches and medieval castles. If you get tired of the crowds and noise of the bustling city, you can start your journey around Liguria and its attractions from there. The most popular among them is undoubtedly the Cinque Terre, an extremely picturesque complex of five small towns, located on the hills flowing into the Ligurian Sea. A camping holiday in Italy will therefore be a great opportunity to see Monterosso, Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Corniglia and Manarola, all connected by a narrow scenic road. The nearby Portonovere, considered one of the most beautiful places on the west coast, deserves the attention of travelers. It is worth taking a walk around Piazza Della Marina, seeing the castle on a cliff overlooking the city and wandering among the streets lined with colorful tenement houses. At the end, it is worth leaving a visit to the small, but very luxurious Portofino, which is especially loved by movie stars and businessmen.
