The long shopping street is at the top of the hill and about a mile from the ship so lots of first visit passengers don't know it's there. The sea promenade is nice too. There is a fantastic family friendly beach (Praia de Samil) with a promenade, restaurants and kids play area just a short bus or taxi ride away as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderflower Posted September 7, 2020 #807 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Vigo - We like this port too, don't understand that many people have dissed it.

Elderflower Posted September 7, 2020 #808 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Valparaiso, Chile, Aurora. Three photos, one showing the ship, one that looks like a painting again and the third of the station platform that was damage in front of our eyes when the train derailed. We were seconds away from getting onto the platform when this happened. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elderflower Posted September 7, 2020 #809 Share Posted September 7, 2020 My photos of Venice are from cruises on Adonia, Oriana and Aurora but none of the ships themselves. One is of a building that looks like a ship with large portholes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are shops and restaurants and a market as you get off the tender plus a train station nearby. Nice is a short distance away in one direction and Monaco in the other direction. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaJane Posted September 7, 2020 #817 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Venice is one of our favourite ports too and we have been there lots of times. The first picture of the Rialto from a water taxi was taken when we stayed there for 4 days May 2018. The second one is of a sailing regatta that we enjoyed watching when we visited from Arcadia in October 2019. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoe sproodle Posted September 7, 2020 #824 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m still enjoying this thread but sadly have had nothing to contribute since ‘S’. We’ve been to Tenerife, Vigo and Valletta but I can’t find a decent picture from any of them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
