The great merchant and seafaring republic of Venice was once one of the world’s great superpowers and centres of culture and civilisation. Today, this great city stretches way beyond the island that has come to represent its historical centre, and while the sights that you’ve heard of - along with the famous canals and their gondolas - are on the island, you’ll find mainland Venice and the famed zone of Mestre to be quite the thrill!
Venice Michelangelo Hotel is just a 20-minute drive to the bridge taking you across to the main island. There, all cars must be parked up at Piazzale Roma - the historical city is a no-car zone - but you can move on to any part of the city via transport along the Grand Canal.
Venice Michelangelo 4-star hotel in Mestre offers regular shuttles to and from the airport, just leave us a note when booking to enquire about costs and timetable.
The surrounding regions are also home to some places of great interest, including the towns of Padova, Vicenza, Verona and Bologna and the magnificent panoramas of the Brenta Riviera.
