A Trip to Venice

The startIn the morning we met at the train station of San Stino di Livenza at 7:40.

We took our train to Venice at 7:56 and after an hour we arrived at Venice train station.

The morning

At first we had a walk to reach the “Museo dell’Accademia”, a beautiful museum in Venice. At this point we divided in two groups. One went visiting the museum and another went visiting a church in “Campo Santo Stefano”. After an hour the two groups swap so that everyone could visit both “Museo dell’accademia” and “Campo Santo Stefano“.

Museo dell’Accademia

Piazza San Marco

After visiting the museum and the church we went to Piazza San Marco, the most important square with its most important cathedral. Here we had an hour of free time to look around and explore.

After an hour we met again in Square San Marco and we had lunch. After lunch we went to the ferry boat station to take the ferry to Murano, a beautiful island famous for its glass factories.

MuranoAfter a thirty minutes trip by ferry, we arrived at

the Island named Murano. The first thing we did was going to visit a glass factory where a man showed us the most famous method for modelling the glass, the blowing method. It was cool because we could see all the steps for modelling a small glass bird. After that we went into the factory shop and we could see all the glass objects they had.

Then we had a little more free time to explore the island and see the typical architecture of Venice islands.

The End

After visiting the island we took the ferry back to piazza san Marco, and we walked to the Rialto bridge, one of the three bridges which cross the Canal Grande.

The Rialto bridge is famous for its numerous shops and it is always very crowded.

We had a walk to the train station and then at 17:50 we took the train to go home.
