This deal is based on 2 people flying out to Venice from East Midlands on 26th January returning on 30th January. You will be staying for 4 nights in the amazing 3* Ca' Bragadin Carabba hotel in the heart of Venice.
Trip breakdown
26th January - The flight is nice and early at just before 10am so you will be landing just after Midday in Venice, as this is Venice Treviso you'll be landing into you will need to hop on a coach to Venice itself which will take around just under an hour. Tickets are available in the airport for around €20 return! When you get to Venice itself make sure you take a map it's quiet complicated to find your way around, check into the lovely hotel and relax!
27th - 28th January - Spend two whole days exploring Venice and it's beautiful surroundings
29th January - The flight is around 1300 so make sure you check out of your hotel fairly early and be on the coach for the airport around 10am so you don't get caught up in traffic and miss the flight!
Venice - This beautiful city is one of my favourite cities, I will be visiting for the 4th time this summer and it's just lovely. There are so many things to see and do, getting lost around the quiet streets, visiting San Marco Piazza the beautiful main square, Rialto bridge and it's market, hopping on a ferry over to Lido for a few hours. Make sure when you're eating out you choose a place a few streets away from San Marco as the prices are sky high due to its location and the foods never as good as in the lovely trattorias! I've chosen the lovely 3* hotel Ca' Bragadin Carabba which is absolutely amazing reviews on TripAdvisor and is located in the heart of Venice, the hotel is luxurious and traditional, a perfect place to stay, it was once home to Casanova!
Price breakdown
Flights to Venice booked with Ryanair - £46.56 - £23.28 each

This deal only includes hand luggage however you need to take a bag with you for 4 nights, you're entitled to 10kg hand luggage and a personal bag. If you do feel you will struggle it costs £15 per bag per sector with Ryanair so you can add a bag for £30 return each if you want to.
Don't forgot many European cities require you pay city tax when checking out, make sure you keep some €€ spare to pay this, it depends on the stars and facilities the hotel offers for how much the city tax is!

Amazing place, went in October for four days. Eating out is priced very similar to the UK (or Rome for that matter) as long as you avoid St Marks Square. Take the number 1 ferry down the river from the train station to St Marks Square at sunset. Beautiful. Below are a couple of pictures from my trip.

I was in Venice last month. To be honest, Venice has become an expensive Disneyland type place. There are far better places to visit in Italy, such as Florence and Rome.
If naffy trinkets are your bag, Venice is the place, otherwise, try Rome. Better history, better shops and cheaper restaurants (still expensive though!)

Rome is crap
Its the biggest tourist trap ive ever seen. You talk about trinkets and fail to mention there are 1000's of knobs on every street corner in rome trying to flog you naff junk.
Ive never been to venice but 4 nights for £90 seems like a cracking deal

Expensive? I couldn't believe how cheap it was. Large glasses of Prosecco for 3 Euros. Snacks for 1euro each. I would imagine it would be expensive around the Square but nowhere else. Even the transport is cheap

Does the room have two single beds or one double?

The double was cheaper but they did have a twin room for about £5 more in the overall price :smiley:

Haha!! Loads of people have said that it smells but it's never smelt when I've been, seems as though I've touched lucky every time I've been, I'd love to be there though for the Carnevale di Venezia , very jealous!
