Italy Transportation

An extraordinary country! Good to visit, always!

Hmmm... are you German? Brittish? NO? well, Caorle is.... quite a place out there, in the middle of nowhere. Unlike the stereotypical idea, the truth is that the place is a little town where locals work their ass of in the summer season... the beach is crowded of umbrellas standing on a row, in a perfect, straight line. There is no space for your own towel... Basically, its just a little beachtown that is trying to make money out of foreign (mainly german and british) tourists in the summer months. YOU NEED A CAR, because there is not much to do in the village.... with a car you can get to venice and other cities, which you shouldnt miss if you are in this part of italy. Seriously... there is not much to see or do... if you wanna party, choose Jesolo instead of Caorle... if you go for the beach, go further south where the water is clear.... or why not to Croatia, same sea, but less people and cheaper... If you still go... enjoy!

The perfect vacation in Italy --- 2 days in Rome, 6 days in Florence, 1 day in Venice..... While in Florence, it's easy to take the train to Venice for the day, or Naples to visit Pompeii -- Stay away from Naples the city --- lots of mob activity, murders and robbery -- scary stuff out of the movies.. anyway, you can also take the train from Florence to the small villages of Cinque Terre.   Don't be fooled -- the walk from village to village on the Cinque Terre trail is very strenous.. Wear good shoes and take a good camera -- you won't believe the views from the side of the hills... amazing trip -- not to be missed.... We found train travel to be pretty easy.. The trains leave on time -- don't think you can be 1 minute late. We visited some of the small villages in Tuscany with a private driver that our BB arranged for us.  Amazing countryside.... We love Italy !!

If you want to visit Bologna, it's better not to take your car. The city center is a limited trafic zone where the non-residents are not allowed to drive (except the clients of the hotels). You will get a +/-100 € fine if you drive in that area, which is only indicated by road signs (no gates). If you want to stay in Bologna and are not staying in an hotel, you can purchase a card wichs allows you to park your car in the streets outside the city center (35€ for one month). You can also leave your car in a covered parking outside the city center (Parking Santa Orsola) for 79€ a month.
