sotiris Posted March 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We will be in Venice when friends depart on their cruise. Is there a particularly good spot/location from which to watch the ship sail away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotiris Posted March 20, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sorry...it's the Nieuw Amsterdam. And as I write this, I just realized it will be on May 1, a holiday in Italy. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Rosebery Posted March 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We will be in Venice when friends depart on their cruise. Is there a particularly good spot/location from which to watch the ship sail away? You can't get any closer than Gelateria Nico on the Fondamente Zattere al Ponte longo and you can have a gelato while you wait- relatively uncrowded http://www.gelaterianico.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlboroBell Posted March 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd certainly recommend something on the Zattere waterfront -- it's all restaurants with outdoor seating, so pick your poison. I remember going to a pizza place there with amusingly-named pizzas: I think I had the 'Stand Well Back!' garlic pizza. Zattere is about a mile from the cruise terminal, but the ships are quite a sight as they pass. You can get from one to the other on the #2 vaporetto.
