| Venice short
breaks have always been popular ever since flying brought
this wonderful city within easy reach, but it is only with
the recent growth of low cost airlines and the dramatic
reduction in the cost of travel to Venice that short breaks
to this Italian jewel have come within the budget of the
average person. It is now possible to take Venice short
breaks from a range of UK airports using airlines such as
Easyjet and BMi who fly into the main Marco Polo airport
and Ryanair who fly to Treviso where a convenient coach
link takes you into Venice itself. The perfect way to arrive
at your hotel is by private water taxi from the airport
or bus station – so why not start your short break
to Venice in style!

The city offers a wide range of hotels
but although now a good deal cheaper than in the past thanks
to cheaper flights, Venice short breaks are rarely ultra
cheap as the popularity of the destination ensures that
hotel prices are generally above average. Nevertheless there
are some very cheap deals to be had at certain times of
year. Call us at Cities Direct and with our experience and
expertise we can guide you to booking the best deals on
Venice short breaks at a time when it wont break the bank!
The key to great value in Venice is often the choice of
hotel location. Hotels in prime positions are usually pricey,
but there are a host of smaller hotels not seen in many
brochures which offer superb value and cosy, stylish Venetian
accommodation at rates which make a short break affordable.

Many people plan Venice short breaks in
the heart of the summer, and whilst Venice is certainly
attractive at any time of year, the summer can bring intense
heat and large crowds. The slightly cooler months of May,
June, September and October are often the most pleasant
weather wise but are equally crowded and generally command
the highest prices for short breaks. Another very busy time
in Venice is Carnival when hotels are booked out months
in advance so if this spectacular event is one for you then
book as early as possible. To keep the price of Venice short
breaks down in these popular periods, many visitors choose
a hotel outside the very heart of the city on Venice Island
itself. There are good 2, 3 and 4 star hotels near to the
main station such as the Mercante di Venezia, Bellini and
Hesperia hotels but the best prices are often in nearby
Mestre, the modern commercial extension of Venice on the
mainland in hotels such as the Sirio and Centrale on the
bus route to the Island. The island of Venice Lido, with
its beach resort feel, also offers great value for much
of the year.

Venice short breaks are an ideal gift
for the romantic partner in your life and are the perfect
way to celebrate a momentous occasion such as an anniversary
or one of those BIG birthdays. For those seeking a value
for money property in a really central location Cities Direct
can recommend hotels such as the excellent value 3 star
Canaletto and Diana hotels. Both these properties are superbly
located within a short stroll of St Mark’s Square
itself and are truly ideal for a short break where time
is of the essence. For those who are looking for a quieter
base for their Venice short breaks, Cities Direct recommend
one of the many ‘Locandas’ or Inns that are
to be found within a pleasant stroll of all the main city
sights. These are often family run and are peaceful and
intimate, often with just 5 or 6 rooms to give you a true
flavour of Ventian life.

Canal and Duodo Palace are all popular with Cities Direct
clients for Venice short breaks and we have negotiated rates
