The daily 'Venice entertainment' was like front row seats at the theatre - in the evenings we sat on the couch with a wine and watched the sun go down and during the day my 14yr old son laughed until he cried at the busker 'roasting' people as they passed by. Don't bring a car as looking for parking is not what you need when you're in the middle of the action with everything at your doorstep. Would definitely stay again x
