TIPS FOR STORING YOUR LUGGAGE IN VENICE

By -
Venice- the city with 118 islands, and 417 bridges 72 of which are private has a lot to offer no matter of the low or high season.



Today I will share with you how I got to Venice and where I left my luggage for a day trip within the city.

I took the overnight train from Rome to Venice, however, I will admit this was not a brilliant idea. The slow train is not worth the traveling time and gets out all of your energy.

I booked my tickets with Loco2 as they had a better offer than TrenItalia. Book your trip as soon as you have decided on your dates because the prices are increasing tremendously from one day to another. It seems that they are subject to availability (for example, today you can get a ticket Rome-Venice for 9 euros and in a week it can go up to 50 euros). So, first, check Train Italia and if the options are not as expected, try some agencies, like Loco2.

Our train departed at 22:35 and arrived at 05:20. A bit early, huh? That's why I recommend departing at 06:35 and arriving at 10:35. There is a huge difference in train travel: almost 9 hours versus 4 hours.

Once you arrive in Venice, you need to leave your luggage somewhere, so you can get the best from your journey. The best and cheapest option is to go to 'Keep Calm Point''. This is a store near the train station and the guy from there can store your luggage in a separate room. The prices are amazing: 8 euros for a big luggage and 5 euros for a small one for the entire day.

You will receive a receipt and a tracking number, so make sure you keep it to have easier access to your things.

How to get there: exit the train station from the main entrance, make a left and you will see the first store on the corner, look for the sign ''Deposito Bagagli''. You also have access from track 1 inside the train station, make a right through the archway, and the store at the end of the street on the left is the one you are looking for.
The place is open from 9 am to 7 pm.

Another place to try is Venice Luggage Deposit, where the first luggage you check in is 6 euros and the second one is 5 euros. However, your bag should not be bigger than 170 cm.
The storage place is situated in the front of Hotel Canaletto.

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The...

3 NATIONAL PARKS NOT TO MISS IN MONGOLIA

The intersection point between Russia and China, Mongolia is a perfect stopover for those who are interested in local culture, sports and recreation or discovering a new way of travelling: spending a day with a Nomadic family. Most of the nationalities would require a Mongolian visa (there are some exceptions, for example, the citizens of the United States do not need one. Check the details with the Consulate in your country before travelling). What I find great about Mongolia is that you can combine your experiences into one and you can make it a real adventure: have a hike, visit a local family, go horseriding, take cooking classes for a day or two and spend at least one night in a Ger Camp. How to get to Ulan Bator? Depending when you are travelling, you have a direct train from Moscow twice a week (train 004, train 006). There is a daily train from Irkutsk to Ulan Bator (a two-day ride) or depending on the departure day, you can get train 004 or 006 that goes from Moscow. ...

Excited to plan a trip to Bratislava? (We WERE!) Even if Slovakia is not on the bucket list of most of the travelers, it does not mean it is not a great place for short visits. Being situated between great European capitals, the city seems a bit forgotten. How we got there? We took the Eurolines bus from Prague and we were there in 4 hours. The ticket was ONLY 10 euros! Check out the ticket prices here.                                                      Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Our view from the bus from Prague to Bratislava Why Bratislava? Bratislava is a tiny capital that gives you a feeling that you belong there. It is a small one, but this is not taking away its qualities of the perfect place for a city break or a stopover for your Euro-trip. The narrow streets send you back in time for a walk for...
