Close your books, leave behind any stress and join us in the direction to Venice, the first stage of this cheap group trip.
Welcome to one of the most famous and loved cities in the enitre world!!
Venice had the honour of being one of the most powerful, rich and populated during many centuries, dominating the Mediterranean and Eastern trade routes, and its art reflects the Byzantine and Asian influence.
Fall in love with this city! Venice is one of the most photographed places in the world. Don’t waste time, grab your camera and find your inner photographer; bridges, Vaporettos and Gondolas are all waiting to be snapped!
Make sure you take some time to enjoy the Byzantine influenced art which is best shown in the architecture of the St. Marks Basillica. You should also stroll down the canal, starting from the Rialto Bridge. You could also just get lost in the narrow streets and see where you end up!
*Optional Activities:
- Venice Pack: Visit Murano and Burano
Did you know that…
- The only way to get around the city is on foot or by water. It is illegal to drive a car or ride a bicycle in this district
- Walking around Venice could give you the feeling that there are numerous channels, whereas there are in fact just two: the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal. The other little waterways that course through the restricted lanes are considered rivers.
Today we will leave Italy behind and continue on this cheap group trip, crossing not 1 but 2 different borders. From Italy we will pass through Slovenia, a country that used to belong to Yugoslavia. We will travel through little villages full of tradition and fascinating architecture. On this route, as we are crossing the mountains between Trieste and Ljubljana, you will be able to admire the incredible views from the windows of the bus. What´s more you will be able to findthe incredible caves of Postjana here, caves that have been formed over millions of years thanks to the Karstic phenomenon, stalagmites and stalactites which have been slowly growing throughout history.
Curiously, Ljubljana is the city with the largest density of students… and by spending the night here, you will enjoy its young atmosphere.
*Optional Activity:
- Caves of Postojna: Trip to the caves in an old mine train.
Ljubjana is a rich and prosperous city, that was able to rise from the ashes of the Second World War and Balcanic conflicts and now can be considered an elegant European capital, with a very unique style that combines the influences of its geographical neighbours. From Mediterranean arquitecture, through to gothic, Germanic or Balcanic style…
You can get lost in the old town, on the Prezeren square, walk across the same bridge three times and visit Saint Nicolas´ Cathedral. If you have energy, you can also climb up to the castle which is on a hill that dominates the city.
Did you know that…
- People greet each other by shaking hands even among friends.
- In Slovenia, all plates of food in restaurants are thought to be shared.
- The capital of Slovenia was created thanks to a legend related to a dragon that was terrorising the city, and the founder of the town battled against the dragon and freed all of its citizens.
