Hi there,

Thinking of taking the MRS to Venice end of july

Can anyone recommend a good 4 star hotel which is bang for buck?

Please advise

Thanks in advance...

Not a good Idea the Canals really stink in the summer time!

The canals stink, there is a new pedestrian one way system where you shuffle around among 1000s of others.

Not a good idea. Go to Paris

Verona's just down the road and it's much nicer!

Venice is a great place to go but if the smell of the canals is a concern, maybe consider Florence, Florence is stunning!

you get used to the smell after a day or so, a great place to go.

Not in the middle of summer the smell is 1000 times stronger even the locals complain

Hardly. No stink, no one way system, plenty of space, plenty of things to do without being herded about.

Better transport, easier mobility.

i went in august last year and couldnt really smell a thing. Admittedly down the remote back alleys it might of had a bit of a whiff but nothing major
