You can get the Venice Experience without ever leaving the train station. After a nice train ride of less than two hours, I walked around Venice for an hour and decided to continue on to Trieste. Venice is obviously a very unique and nice place but it was over-run with young tourists. It's exactly as I imagined except maybe smaller. I'm embarrassed to admit that I never really knew that it was an island until I got there! I'd like to go to Venice in the off-off season. Dead of winter.
Back on the train, headed for Trieste. Fairly recently, Lonely Planet named Trieste the most under rated city in the world. It's nice. Given the prices I think it's rated plenty high. It's an interesting location though. Barely still in Italy. A couple of minutes from Slovenia.
