We took the bus from Milan hotel to Venice; about 2 hours. Very pleasant ride. You must see Piazza San Marco and the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri). It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. The bridge was built in the 16th century and only given the name Bridge of Sighs in the 19th century, by Lord Byron. The bridge is of white limestone. Windows with stone bars are on the summit of this enclosed bridge. The name comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice out the window before being taken down to their cells...
In Milan, you must see Il Duomo. Take the subway to Duomo Exit and as you walk up the subway stairs, you will gasp in amazement at the sight before you...
