TourCrafters Offers Good-deal Package to Venice

04-21-2011

 

Libertyville, IL,  April 21, 2011—It’s the most beautiful, most romantic city in the world, but the time to go to Venice is before the tourist mobs descend.  In other words…now.

 

TourCrafters’ 5-day/4-night midweek Venice City Break makes it affordable, starting at $1,206 until May 15.  That good-deal price buys you round-trip air fare on Alitalia from New York, the fuel surcharge, hotel accommodations, daily buffet breakfast, a half-day city tour, service charges and taxes.

 

The hotel in question is the centrally-located 3-star Malibran, which is a three-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge.  It is also next to the historic Malibran Theatre, so there’s always the possibility you might see some famous actors and musicians in its restaurant.  If a 4-star hotel is more your style, that’s possible, too.  The elegant Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal has the breathtaking views that it’s name implies, as well as 18^th-century Venetian décor and a sophisticated bar and restaurant.  The price for the Carlton before May 15 is $1,492.  Both prices go up after May 15, but then down again after June 30.

 

Wherever you stay, be sure to take a vaporetto ride up (or down) the Grand Canal to see the parade of palaces,  tour the pretty pink Doges’ Palace, get up early to visit St. Mark’s Basilica, enjoy spaghetti con vongole (with clams) at a neighborhoodtrattoria and finish the day with an espresso in a San Marco café while listening to a wonderfully schmaltzy orchestra and gazing at the lovely square that Napoleon called “the drawing room of Europe.”

 

All prices quoted are per person, double occupancy, are subject to availability and do not include airport taxes of approximately $115.  Reservations must be paid for within 72 hours of booking.  Add-on air fares are $45 from Boston, $50 from Washington, D.C., $135 from Miami and Chicago and $245 from Los Angeles.
