Places to see in ( Mestre - Italy )
Mestre is the centre and the most populated urban area of the mainland of Venice, part of the territory of the Metropolitan City of Venice, in Veneto, northern Italy. Administratively speaking, Mestre forms (together with the nearby urban area of Carpenedo) the Municipalità di Mestre-Carpenedo, one of the six boroughs of the commune (Comune) of Venice. Sometimes considered as a frazione, it is Italy's most populated, with 89,373 inhabitants. The mainland of Venice is the territory of the city based on continental land (instead of natural or artificial islands like the most well-known parts of Venice) connected to the historical center by a long rail and road bridge over the Venetian lagoon, called Ponte della Libertà (Freedom Bridge).
Since the end of World War II, Mestre had a quick and disordered urban growth, after which Mestre constitutes a vast human settlement together with the other urban centers of the Venetian mainland (Carpenedo, Marghera, Favaro Veneto, Chirignago, Zelarino, Tessera). Mestre being the center and the most populated area of the mainland, in common language the toponym Mestre is very often used, incorrectly, to define the whole Venetian mainland. Mestre received the title of city in 1923 and maintained it briefly till 1926, when was annexed to the commune of Venice.
Public transport is managed by Azienda del Consorzio Trasporti Veneziano. There are several bus routes and two tramway lines. Several bus routes link mainland with piazzale Roma, the main bus station in Venice, via Ponte della Libertà a road bridge connecting the historical center of the city of Venice, that is a group of islands, to the mainland.
According to legends, Mestre was founded by Mesthles, a companion of the hero Antenor, a fugitive from Troy who founded Padua. The true origins of the city are uncertain, although it is known that a Roman oppidum (fortress) existed here, though this was destroyed by Attila and probably rebuilt in the 10th century. The first historical mention is from an Imperial diploma by Otto III, by which Rambald, count of Treviso, received land in the area named Mestre. In 1152 a papal bull by Pope Eugene III recognized the bishop of Treviso as lord of Mestre, citing the existence of the church of St. Lawrence, a castle and a port. In 1257 the bishops ceded it to Alberico da Romano, podestat of Treviso.
Mestre is now a preferred starting point for tourists visiting Venice, due to Mestre's favorable location, its cheap and frequent connections to the historical center of Venice by train and by bus (available also during the night), and Mestre's more reasonable prices of bars, discos, car parking, hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets, compared to the prices of the same touristic services in the historical and touristic center of Venice. The city already has some experience as host of major international basketball tournaments such as the EuroBasket 1979, which drew many tourists to the city.

Duomo of St. Lawrence (17th century)

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.
This is part of our Travel in Croatia video series showcasing Croatian food, Croatian culture and Croatian cuisine.

Move To Italy and Living abroad - Overview of What You Need To Know
Move to Italy and enjoying everything the wonderful country has to offer is one thing but it's important to consider some of the realities of moving abroad. Living in Italy can be quite a great experience, but to be able to live your life in Italy is truly a blessing. Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. There will a lot of learning to do but having help along the way can make a huge difference. As an Italian-American in Italy I can say being able to connect with my family's origin has been quite an amazing experience. Trying to figure out how to move to italy, moving to Italy as an American after going through Jure Sanguinis for Italian Dual Citizenship and living in Italy as an American has come with a leraning curve but it's also been a fun challenge. Regardless of where you're thinking you want to try to living abroad and moving overseas this video should have some information relevant to what's important to consider.

Moving To Italy - Italian Bureaucracy and Italian Contracts
Moving to Italy can mean a lot of different things. Keeping a level head and being aware of all the realities is something that I think is important. Italian Bureaucracy can be quite the hurdle to overcome but once you see the results of the time and hard work you've put in you'll see that everything has been worth the journey. During the transition into life after your move to Italy (or anywhere moving abroad) you'll have a lot of learning, and while things may be quite different , what you'll find will eventually become second nature to deal with.. yes even the bureaucracy in Italy.
