Venice:
Venice is 60-90 minutes from Aviano. Besing that it is on the lagoon, taking a train may be the best option.
There are, however, car parks in Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto and inexpensive garages in Mestre, one train stop
from the main station. The VENICEcard discount pass comes with a city map and grants its holders
unlimited use of local land and water public transportation and free admission to all of Venice's
civic museums and the 16 churches of the Chorus Circuit, plus discounts for car parks and other
activities. Vaporetto No. 1, a water bus, runs down the Grand Canal, and its 45-minute journey
passes along a picturesque view of palazzi, churches, bridges and markets. Several vaporetti venture out to the
glass-blowing island of Murano, the lace-making island of Burano, Italy's Venice beach called Lido and other
smaller islands off the beaten path.
