- We went to Rotherham…
I go to Venice every year. Just back in fact.
The lido is great - for a day visit but I wouldn’t want to base myself there. Did it once, but spent most of my time getting the Vaporetto to Venice itself.
I much prefer Venice itself, in the late summer or winter. Much quieter.
I've been to the island near Venice Lido de Venezia. Not much there.
I thought Lido de Jesolo was bigger tourist resort.
I think Venice is a great place and not as expensive as you'd think.
I've just got back from Salou, seems very similar to Manchester for prices of drink
9euro for a cocktail or a spirit and mixer.
5/6euro a pint. Surprised me when I'd gone out on the drink

Although not for everyone AI's are becoming the value holiday these days.
£1.2k in Lanza in June & again this November for 2 of us, have the odd beer/coffee while walking (normally 3 hours a day) then let the hotel take the strain.
We'd rather have the freedom to do our own thing but picking the right spot makes it a decent bit of value at the moment.

Eurostar to Paris and then train to one stop before Disneyland on Friday morning. Got a cheap Air B&B 30 minutes walk or one stop on train. Visited Disney village Friday evening, Disney park yesterday, for Disney studios today. Enjoying it so far and much better than I thought I would. Other half loving it Wanted somewhere yesterday to sit for hour and have a beer or wine but couldn't find anything in the park without buying food. Queues not too bad, think longest we had was about 40 mins but most between 15-20 so far. Glad we knew to have already bought train tickets coming back at night as queue for tickets is crazy. Thanks to Robmcfc for advice and tips
Went there about 4 years ago, enjoyed it. Was very impressed with the presentation and professionalism of the place. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, no overflowing bins etc. The maintenance was top notch and all unsightly stuff like boxes and wires were hidden, never saw 'behind the scenes' stuff. The staff where well organized and trained aswell. Sounds sad I know but stuff like that always pleases me.
Love my art and Venice is up there with the best.
Not only does it have great art galleries but the churches and basilica's have great art in them as well.
A must visit is the The Scuola Grande di San Rocco.Stunning floors of Tintoretto works.
The ceiling alone is amazing.
Weirdly enough I have not been to St Marks Basilica,must go one day.
I stay away from the Square area due to the dearer costs of food and drink.
