[2025 Venice Attraction] Travel Guide for Grand Canal (Updated Feb)

#cityscape Venice in November offers a quieter, more intimate experience of this iconic city. The summer crowds have dwindled, allowing visitors to explore its canals, piazzas, and historic landmarks at a leisurely pace. Misty mornings and cooler weather lend a romantic, mysterious charm to the city. November often brings the phenomenon of acqua alta (high water), which can flood parts of Venice but also creates captivating reflections in the streets and squares. Museums, churches, and local trattorias are less crowded, providing a more authentic experience. With its serene beauty and off-season appeal, Venice in November is a magical destination for travelers.

DATE : May 6 Bonjorno! Pagi Isnin lepas kami bertolak dari Chamonix bergerak ke Italy ... Lompat2 bas dari Chamonix ke Courmeyour, Italy ... Dari Courmeyour ke Aosta & dari Aosta ke Milano ... Jejalan di Milan kejap & amik train dari Milan ke Venezia. Venice is 'city of water', 'city of bridges', 'floating city' and 'city of masks'. Well ... did Venice make it on my list of one of my most fav city in the world? Probably not! But I must say that Venice have its own charm. The city itself is beautiful ... The architecture is amazingly unique and have loads of history. Yeah ... It is a tourist town ... It is overcrowded, really expensive & constantly under renovation... But if you can look pass that you will enjoy Venice . The main attraction here is Grand Canal, St. Mark Square, gandolas? and Rialto Bridge to name a few. But for me the real gems is their outer Island - Lido, Burano, Murano AND wandering around back alleys in Venice, observing antique building & get lost! ... I consider myself quite good with directions but here the buildings looks similar and there's hundreds of bridge ... It's like walking in a maze ... You will get lost ... I mean really2 lost & it was so much fun!! But sooner or later you will know your way plus it's an island ... no matter how lost you are it's not like you can get off of it. Wandering around you will find hidden treasure of Venice, antique places, watch local live their life and play ... Observing people ,their interaction and you will try to guess another person's story ... I love doing it .. When you travel you will met different people with different walk of life ... People watching is very insightful and informative way to know them. It allows you to observe humanity in all its diversity and similarity. Anyway ... Some tips in Venice : when you first arrive and looking for your hotel pls prepare a map of your hotel location ... Wandering around in Venice is fun ... But walking clueless for hours with heavy backpack is no fun ... Every shops have a business card ask for it ... usually they got a map on that card ... That's how you know exactly where you are ... Don't eat at table outside a restaurant ... Eat inside or take away ... It's cheaper ... Don't eat at places with 20 different languages on the menu or didn't show a price at all ... You'll end up pay a fortune. Pagi ini kami bergerak ke destinasi seterusnya : Florence Ciao!!

Instead of forking out a minimum of €80 for a 25-30 minute ride on a gondola in Venice, did you know you can have the full gondola experience across the Grand Canal in Venice for just 2.5% of the cost? This is all made possible if you go to ‘Gondola Traghetto’ which is only a short walk away from the famous Rialto Bridge. You don’t need to book in advance, just join a relatively small queue of people (even in the summer), pay €2 and hop on the gondola. There are a couple of drawbacks to this, one being you’ll be sharing the gondola with a number of strangers rather than renting a private gondola for your party. Secondly the gondola trip only lasts roughly 3 minutes as you simply cross the canal rather than travel along it. If neither of these things put you off then this is definitely a bargain and a must do on your trip to one of the most magical cities in Europe.

Venice is one of Italy’s most picturesque cities. Beautiful floating palaces of stone surrounded by an ancient network of canals. Venice is one of the most popular Italian cities for tourists, even with all the other beautiful & historic places there are in Italy. There are basically no roads, transportation is accomplished via boats on a confusing network of canals. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before! Here, we explored Saint Mark’s Square. Also called Piazza San Marco, it is Venice’s main public square, basically the social heart of the city. There are a bunch of famous landmarks here, like the Clock Tower, St. Mark’s Basilica. Then, the The Grand Canal, which is the most important channel running through the city. Many of these buildings can only be accessed by boat. We also visited the St. Mark's Basilica, the most famous of Venice’s churches and the cathedral of the Patriarchate of Venice. As a lavish and much-beloved symbol of Venetian history, it’s totally worth a stop. Overall, Venice is worth visiting. Venice is an enchanting city that casts visitors under an intoxicating spell. It’s dreamy and romantic, with an undercurrent of mystery and drama. Venice is such a special place to the point that it almost doesn’t feel real. There's so much to see, and it’s so perfect. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers

#bucketlistreboot there are a lot of major tourist spots along the grand canal, we enjoyed ourselves spending time here. there are lots of amazing moments when the Sun flashes on the canal, and it was a great experience when we walked on the bridges to see the boats and gon gondola pass by. It is also a good way to see Venice with the amazing buildings you cannot visit there without seeing the Grand Canal! There’s so much to see over there, and we had a wine and food, walking tour and walked around market, this is just an amazing city ❤️❤️

The Gondole Ride in Italy is absolutely iconic and if it happens to be your first time in Italy or specifically Venice it is irreplaceable. The ride through the Grand Canal is incredibly scenic and tranquil. You will see many other boats passing by and you will be transported through different parts of Venice that a tourist would love to see including the older historic buildings and more. I personally enjoyed our tour guide who was giving us a history lesson as we were looking in awe on the water. It is worth it and once again if you happen to be in Venice make sure that this particular thing you do. You won’t forget the Gondole Ride. #italy #europe #passionpassport #venice #gondole

Venice is a beautiful island and worth to visit at least one time in life. From the main island, we can vist three nearby islands too. It takes about three days to explore the whole Venice #summervacation

The famous Grand Canal in Venice, Italy is one of the most picturesque spots in the city. Traditional poled gondolas dot the waterway makng for a unique and unforgettable experience for all visiting tourists.

When thinking of Venice I think of the velvet-padded gondolas. It is an obvious and cliché choice of experiencing Venice. The ride through the winding Grand Canal is elegant, slow, with unusual silence permitted by the absence of cars and beautiful views of pastel old buildings with entrances on the canal's side. Same (or even better) is if you're staying in an apartment with a balcony above the canal with singing gondoliers paddling below you every few minutes. Oh, la dolce vita.

Made of velvet-padded gondolas, scenic bridges & canals, beautiful balconies with matching flowers, architectural masterpieces of floating palaces, cicchetti & bellini gatherings... Any girl will begun to feel La ‚Dolce Vita‘ the moment you arrive to Venice. The most romantic city in the world is not to be missed and definitely must be experienced with your soulmate.

Grand Canal is the biggest part of all the canals in Venice. It is also where the big boats are, those who travel further than just in the Venice city itself. You can also take gondola ride here #happynewyear #venicetrip #happynewyear

It is said that there are more than 400 bridges in Venice, among which the most famous are the Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge, Barefoot Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Three-arch Bridge, Fighting Bridge, Tait Bridge, Bridge without Railings, Triple Bridge, and Lengo Bridge. These bridges are made of stone, wood, iron, etc., and most of them are single-arch bridges. Some bridges connect the main roads on both sides, while others extend into the halls of the water town. It is no exaggeration to say that if you walk through the streets and alleys of Venice, you are actually walking on bridges.

#ancienttownvibes Venice is an ancient city that dates way back to the 5th Century AD. It is located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. It was built by merchants to protect themselves from raids after the fall of the Roman Empire. And eventually became a major maritime port in the 10th Century. We had the pleasure of visiting this unique city during our trip to Northern Italy. And I must say, we were blown away. It’s no other city like Venice. The architecture is stunning with lots of history behind them. It is a little touristy but that is expected as everyone wants to visit, however take some time to wander along the quiet canals and bridges where you’ll find no one. The eeriness and spookiness transported us back to the ancient world and we had a small glimpse of what it would feel like to live there. I highly reccomend veering off the main tourist sights and just get lost in the wonder of this ancient city. It felt otherworldly. You have got to visit at least once in your life.

For me, winter is a great time of year to visit Venice. There aren’t the crowds of tourists and you can still get some very bright and sunny days. Of course, Venice really needs no introduction. I’ve been several times and I’m sure I will visit again soon. Of course you have to check out the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco with Saint Mark’s Basilica and its bell tower. If you have time check out less frequented areas, such as Burano #getgoing2025 #venice #italy

Venice, Italy, is a unique and iconic city known for its canals, stunning architecture, and rich cultural heritage.

#europetrip I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Italy, and I’m still in awe of the country’s incredible beauty, history, and culture. My journey began in Rome, where I explored iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and, of course, the Vatican. The city is a perfect blend of ancient history and vibrant modern life, with every street offering something new to discover. Next, I ventured to Florence, the heart of the Renaissance. The Uffizi Gallery was a highlight, filled with masterpieces by Botticelli and Michelangelo. I also took time to admire the stunning architecture of the Duomo and enjoy the view from Ponte Vecchio. The trip also took me to the enchanting canals of Venice, where I wandered through narrow streets, rode a gondola, and watched the sun set over the Grand Canal. No trip to Italy would be complete without experiencing the Tuscan countryside, so I spent a few days in a charming villa near Siena, sampling world-class wines and local delicacies.

On a sunny morning, we embarked on our journey to Venice. As the plane landed, we looked out the window and were immediately captivated by the city built on water, with its countless winding canals and weathered historical buildings. It was like a dreamlike island, as if it had leaped out from a painting. Upon arriving in the city center, our first stop was the famous St. Mark's Square. Walking through it, the ancient St. Mark's Basilica and the Campanile gave us a strong sense of history. Bands played cheerful music in the square, and pigeons frolicked around us, making it feel like the entire square was our stage. I couldn't help but sit down, listening to the music while enjoying the cool and sweet taste of Italian gelato. Next, we took a ride on Venice's famous gondola, drifting through the canals. The gondolier softly hummed Italian folk songs as a gentle breeze blew, and the colorful houses reflected in the water, creating a beautiful watercolor painting. In such a gentle atmosphere, time seemed to pass unnoticed, and we felt like we had entered a fairytale world. In Venice, the Rialto Bridge is a must-see. This magnificent stone bridge connects both sides of the Grand Canal, offering stunning views from the top. We also tasted delicious local seafood in the small alleys near the bridge. In a cozy family restaurant, the owner warmly chatted with us, sharing his love for Venice and cooking. This sense of friendliness made us feel that this trip was not just sightseeing but also an exchange between people. In the afternoon, we visited Murano, the glass island, to explore its glass-making craftsmanship. Watching the artisans manipulate the flames like magic in the workshop was astonishing. Seeing an ordinary piece of glass transform into a beautiful artwork was truly impressive. We even tried our hand at making small glass ornaments, and although our skills were rough, it was a lot of fun. As night fell, we walked back to our hotel, finding Venice even more enchanting in the evening. The small lights along the canals twinkled, reflecting on the water, creating a serene and beautiful scene. When we returned to the hotel and lay down with a sense of fulfillment from the day, it seemed we could still hear the sound of the waves lapping against the canal banks. Every day in Venice was a new discovery. This city is not only a convergence of the past and the present but also a journey that touches the heart. We left with our hearts full of memories and a deep affection for this city on water, knowing that we would return to such beauty again. This is Venice, a city that enchants the heart. I hope everyone who comes here can find their own little happiness in the whispers of the canals.

During the day in Venice, I wander through the narrow alleys and canals, admiring the colorful buildings. With a leisurely pace, I stroll through this small city. At sunset, I sit on a small boat and feel the passage of time and the changing scenery. At night, the lights reflect on the water, creating a shimmering effect. The romantic atmosphere makes me feel as if I am in a dream.

Venice is a magnificent city located in the northeast of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea coast, famous for its canals. It is built on hundreds of small islands, connected to each other by bridges. You can see the romantic atmosphere of the city, its historical buildings and unique canal views. The places to visit in Venice are St. Mark's Square and the famous St. Mark's Basilica. The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale), which attracts attention with its Gothic architecture, is also one of the most interesting structures in Venice. Taking a gondola ride along the Grand Canal (Canal Grande), where the heart of the city beats, offers an unforgettable experience. #venice #historicallandmarks #timetotravel

#traveldiaries I just spent a few days in Venice, and it was an unforgettable experience! 🌉 From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the enchanting canals, winding streets, and stunning architecture. I took a vaporetto ride down the Grand Canal, which cost around €7.50 for a single trip, but it was worth it for the views of the iconic palaces and bridges. One of my favorite spots was St. Mark’s Square, where I enjoyed a coffee while listening to live music from nearby cafes. The entrance to St. Mark’s Basilica is free, but I opted for the €5 audio guide, which really enriched my visit. Don’t miss the Rialto Market for a taste of local life and fresh seafood! Venice is a magical place that feels like stepping into a painting, and I can’t wait to return! #Venice #TravelDiaries #GrandCanal #StMarksBasilica #ItalianAdventure #ExploreItaly
