Ponte Di Rialto – Lato San Marco – Venezia – Audioguida – MyWoWo Travel App
Il Ponte di Rialto è uno dei monumenti più simbolici di Venezia!
Fino alla seconda metà dell’800 il Ponte di Rialto era l’unico passaggio tra le due sponde del Canal Grande. In tutto il resto della città, l’unico modo di passare dall’altra parte era quello di affidarsi ai molti “traghetti”, o servizi di attraversamento su barche a remi: e anche oggi, se vuoi provare l’emozione di un viaggio in gondola per pochi euro, puoi servirti di uno di questi traghetti.
Naturalmente il punto migliore per osservare il Rialto è dall’acqua, e probabilmente l’avrai già fatto a bordo di un vaporetto: ma se il ponte ti appare imponente quando ci passi sotto, fa la sua bella figura anche quando ci passi sopra, venendo dalla riva del Vin o da campo san Bartolomeo. Intanto ti dirò che “Rialto” viene da “rivo alto” cioè il canale profondo e navigabile dell’arcipelago lagunare. Il Rialto è situato esattamente a metà del Canal Grande, in corrispondenza del punto più antico della città, dove da oltre un millennio si tiene il mercato...

Italy to Croatia Ferry from Ancona to Split
Come join for a busy travel day as we journey from Italy to Croatia by ferry from Ancona to Split; however, we first start our day off from Venice, Italy where we board a regional train to Bologna and then change to another train bound for Ancona. In Ancona we sort out our tickets and board an overnight ferry to Split.
The ferry ride with Jadrolinija was fantastic as our rooms were just the right size. Basically, we enjoyed a 4 course meal for 16 Euros per person and then drank some wine and ate some chips before going to bed. We woke up at 5am and enjoyed some scenic views of the ferry approaching Split during sunrise before having a quick breakfast for 6 Euros per person. Upon arriving we just ended up checking into our airbnb apartment before going to sleep.
In terms of prices for everything our two train rides came to $33 USD per person and the price of the overnight ferry per person was$111 USD for a private room. We thought overall it was excellent value and if you're looking to visit Croatia from Italy the overnight ferries are a great option to consider.

Italy to Croatia Ferry from Ancona to Split Travel Vlog Video Transcript:
Good morning. And welcome to another travel day. We are leaving Venice today. After a week so yeah we've been rolling our luggage all the way to the station. So we have a busy day. An epic travel day.
We basically have two train rides. Yep. We're first going from Venice to Bologna and then from Bologna to Ancona. And then we have a bit of time to kill and then we're taking an overnight ferry and saying ciao to Italia. Bye Italy. Hello Croatia. Hello Croatia from Split. We have a really busy day ahead of us and we're going to show you the whole journey.
We have such a busy day that we figured yeah we're just going to focus on what we're doing today and tomorrow. Let's go catch a train.
Well welcome to Bologna. Bologna! We've been here a couple of years ago. Mmmhmm. And anyways we arrived on time. We're really lucky because there were quite a few trains that were cancelled today. I'm not sure the reason. Maybe weather related.
We have arrived. We have made it in Ancona. Made it to Ancona. That train went like in beast mode. I swear it caught up on the time it was delayed by. It was so quick. But you know what sucks? What? That was like the worst first class ever. No heating. No heat. No food.
That ends the train journey and now we've got basically go to the ferry terminal and pick up our tickets. Yes. Let's do that.
In terms of the price for the ferry ride from Italy to Croatia it ended up being 111 US dollars per person. There has been a change in regards to breakfast. When we traveled from Dubrovnik to Bari just a few months ago. Complimentary. Breakfast was included in the price if you got a cabin. That is no longer the case. But now it is the equivalent of 6 US dollars. We've got like 3 or 4 little courses so far. Bread, meat, cheese platters and we have omelets to come. Yes. We've all had coffee. It is not bad value and it also means that we can just check in and sleep when we arrive. We don't have to think about breakfast.
We have made it to Split. I remember last time we were here just catching a ferry everyone was asking yeah people were asking us why aren't you doing Split? Why aren't you doing Dubrovnik? And that is because we were waiting for Sam's parents. And now that they are here we're going to check this place out properly. We're also tired so I think we're going to go to bed as soon as we check in so we'll finish this off here. See you soon. Bye.

Puente De Rialto – Lado San Marco – Venecia – Audioguía – MyWoWo Travel App
Hola, soy Joel, tu guía personal, y junto a MyWoWo te damos la bienvenida a una de las maravillas del mundo.
Hoy te acompañaré en la visita al Puente de Rialto.
¡El Puente de Rialto es uno de los monumentos más simbólicos de Venecia!
Hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XIX el Puente de Rialto era el único paso entre las dos orillas del Gran Canal. En el resto de la ciudad, la única manera de pasar de una parte a la otra era confiar en los muchos traghetti, o servicios de transbordador en barcas de remos: y aún hoy en día, si quieres experimentar la emoción de un viaje en góndola por unos pocos euros, puedes servirte de uno de estos traghetti.
Naturalmente, el mejor lugar para observar el Rialto es desde el agua, y es probable que ya lo hayas hecho a bordo de un vaporetto: pero si el puente te parece imponente cuando pasas por debajo, muestra su imagen más bella cuando pasas por encima, viniendo desde la riva del Vin o desde el campo San Bartolomeo…

15 Things to do in Split, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Grad Split Hrvatska):
It is no secret that Croatia is one of our favourite countries to travel in Europe, and Split is a destination that can’t be missed.
Set in and around the walls of an ancient Roman palace looking out to the Adriatic Sea, Split is what travel dreams are made of: sunny, scenic, and filled with historic sights and culinary delights.
The streets are marble maze where pieces of history lay hidden around every corner, the harbour is lined with cafes and palm trees drawing out locals and visitors to promenade in the sunshine, and let’s not forget about the abundance of restaurants serving up fresh seafood and Croatian dishes with a contemporary twist!
Join us in this travel guide as we take you on a tour of the city and show you 15 things to do in Split, Croatia!
Diocletian was a Roman Emperor who ruled from the years 284 to 305. He was born in Dalmatia, and when it came time to build his retirement residence, he chose this very spot which today forms the Old Town of Split.
It made sense to start our tour of Split here. First, the bell tower for a quick look at the city from above. Next to the bell tower, you have the Mausoleum of Diocletian. Emperor Diocletian was a persecutor of Christians, and ironically, his mausoleum is now a cathedral named after Saint Domnius, who was martyred by Diocletian.
We walked over to the Temple of Jupiter. Interesting fact: the sphinx you see at the entrance was one of the twelve sphinxes brought from Egypt by Emperor Diocletian.
The crypt sits directly underneath the cathedral and it’s dedicated to Saint Lucy, another victim of the religious persecutions under the rule of Diocletian.
We walked through the underground market which is open to the public free of charge. This market is also located at basement level and it is filled with vendors selling all types of artwork and souvenirs. We also walked up the Marjan Steps for scenic views of Split.
Marjan Hill is 178 meters high and it takes 314 steps to reach the highest point. It’s a very pleasant walk with lots of greenery, and along the way we even came across an old stone church.
Then on the way back down the hill, we went for a walk through Varoš.
And while we were in Split, we also made time to visit a statue with a rather famous toe. This is Grgur Ninski. He was a medieval Croatian bishop who introduced the national language in the religious services.
Now a travel tip: while you’re out strolling down the Rive Promenade, you can also access Matejuška Port, which is a small harbour for small boats used mainly by the local fishermen. This particular spot offers some really nice views looking back on Split.
That’s a wrap for our travel guide to Split! If you have ideas of things to do in Split please share those in the comments below.
