❤️ Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.

Venice City of Water
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.

€2 Gondola Ride in Venice
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, I’m gondola miss you
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.

Grand Canal
#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 ❤️❤️

Gondole Ride Grand Canal Venice Italy 🇮🇹
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.

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.
Tia Lacson
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.
Your Passport
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.
Your Passport
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

Bellissima Venezia 🇮🇹
Venice, known as the "City of Water" for its many waterways. The Grand Canal is the city's symbolic large canal, which divides the city in two. There are four bridges across the Grand Canal: Rialto Bridge, Scalzi Bridge, Accademia Bridge, and Piazzale Roma Footbridge, all of which are popular photo spots. A popular plan is to take a gondola or water bus to enjoy the cityscape from the Grand Canal.
A trip to Venice from Milano central station took 3 hrs with bullet train 🚄
A historic surround of Venice , with popular seafood dishes and spritz bars.
We spended one night on the island, the next day we took a boat tour. The leather products are cheap and there have many fancy stores on the island.
Before you get back, suggest to try spritz bars and Gondola ride.

A City Where Every Shot is Picturesque【Venice】
One of Italy's representative cities, 【Venice】🇮🇹
A place I've longed for as I read various travel journals🏟️
The city is known as "The City of Water" due to its many well-maintained canals.
The second photo's "Canal Grande" is a large canal among them, with a big bridge spanning over it✨(The photo was taken from atop the bridge).
This spot is also a scenic point, and the view of the city from the bridge was incredibly beautiful🇮🇹
There was even a painting of this bridge in my hotel room!🖼️
I've completely fallen in love with this city,
and even after returning to the hotel, I couldn't shake off the lingering charm, and ended up toasting with a Bellini and the mask I bought🥂lol
It's a place where you can spend a relaxed and leisurely time, a comforting spot☺️

Floating City: Venice 🇮🇹
Venice is a kind of beautiful Italian destination - with its long canals, narrow alleys and an interesting history, you’ll always find a lot to do & see..Let’s help you spoilt with choices all the best things to do in Venice whilst you’re there. I have visited several sights in Venice and would like to share them with you!
1) St Mark’s Basilica - It’s worth exploring the most famous church St Mark’s Basilica.
2.) Piazza San Marco- Buzzing ‘must-see’ spot, Piazza San Marco is one of the most famous square to visit in Venice
3.) Rialto Bridge- The oldest bridge that crosses the Grand Canal in Venice, the Rialto Bridge and surroundings is a bucket list if you have wish to stroll around this great city.
4.) Grand Canal-It’s packed with boats, gondolas and a heap of water taxis. Personally, I’d recommend either taking a short tour by gondola.
5.) Doge’s Palace-This beautiful Palace has a long history within the Venetian empire; Inside you will see the most grand rooms and fine art that’s centuries old.
If you have time I would suggest to visit near by islands; Murano, Burano, and Torcello are the Venetian Lagoon's three most visited and unique islands.

VENICE GRAND CANAL, MCKINLEY HILL 🛶✨
This attraction in Taguig has become famous to locals because of how it depicts the actual canals in Venice, Italy. It may just be an imitation of the Venice Canals, but it is as pretty as the actual one! And surprise! They also offer a Gondola ride for 250 pesos.
Went there with my man last 2019. We didn't ride the Gondola, but we still enjoyed the view.

In the morning, we sailed to Venice by boat. The weather in the whole of Europe was very good. It was lucky not to have a rainy day. Peace Dove at the pier, sunbathe with me and wait for the ferry. The
Venice Grand Canal is Venice's main waterway. It is an anti-S type along the natural waterways from St. Mark's Church to St. Chiara's Church and is connected to many small canals. Most of the city's transportation passes through these waterways.
15th century French writer and ambassador to Venice, Conmini, describes the Grand Canal of Venice: the most beautiful street in the world, with the most beautiful houses on both sides. Five centuries have passed, and the Grand Canal is still comparable to the most beautiful boulevards in the world.
Take a trip to the water bus from the Roman Forum, walk between the ancient buildings on both sides of the strait, and enjoy the river of souls of Venice, you can feel the daily life of the Venetian living on the water.
The Grand Canal is inverted S-shaped. From the Roman Forum in the northwest to the St. Mark's Square in the city center, it is about 4 kilometers long, about 6 meters deep and 40 to 100 meters wide. It is the main traffic in Venice. thoroughfare.
More than 100 ancient buildings along the coast were once the residences of the Venetian nobles and wealthy merchants of the 12th to 18th centuries.
The first Sunday in September is the traditional regatta in Venice, the Gondola and other traditional boats on the Grand Canal. There will be spectacular 15th century boats before the game. The parade.
