Transport

Venice is located in the north of Italy. Traveling by car from Slovakia takes less than 10 hours (depending on where you are traveling from). However, bus tours for one or two days are also very popular, which are also financially advantageous. For the more comfortable travelers, there are of course also air trips. Be sure to ask the hotel about the next trip to the city, as they can give you good advice and usually you can buy bus tickets right at the hotel reception. If you arrived by car, depending on the parking lot, it depends on whether you can get to the center on foot or by boat, which is common in Venice, as with our tram.

Many admirable buildings have been built there, such as St. Mark’s Cathedral, located on the well-known St. Mark’s Square.

Murano glass

Murano glass is glass, known for Venice, where I produce it. You can find it in every souvenir shop. However, even if the vendor shows you the certificate of authenticity of the product, in fact the thing in Venice was only put together, so businessmen have the right to speak and sell products as genuine. Even though it is not always real Murano glass, the products are really beautiful and as a souvenir you will learn to enjoy it for a long time.
