 Venice. It’s a name that instantly conjures visions of languid canals occupied by black and gold decorated gondolas, chic boutique hotels, and a rich culture heritage, set in one of the most scenic locations in the world. But that awe can wear thin as soon as you try to calculate a trip to La Serenissima. For some budget conscious travelers, the escalated costs of airfare, hotels, and attractions can seem endless, made worse by added expenses of food, transportation, and shopping. However, armed with the right information, it’s a possible to plan a trip on a budget. Here’s how to turn a vacation to Venice from a fantasy to a reality.
