Venezia aka: Venice, Venecia, Venedig

Be prepared for the crowds (particularly leading to St. Mark’s Square) if you’re there in peak season. It can feel like you’re shuffling along in a long slow queue. Take along a good map (the streets are a maze!) but also enjoy exploring the streets of the less touristy spots.

I still remember my first glimpse of Venice as we emerged from the train station – we were struck dumb by how beautiful it was. Enjoy!

Ready for a break from Italian food, yet? Find the one and only Indian restaurant located here. It’s good.

Venice was beautiful, even though I did manage to get lost in all the crossing streets, but will enjoy my return to spend more time exploring all the nooks and crannys of this beautiful Island City

My partner and I will be here next week, and I just want to wander and get lost in the maze of canals. I want to drink wine and see art and just relax and kiss my guy.

I am going to Venice later in June for 2 nights (Saturday and Sunday) and could do with some advice on 2 topics:

1. dinner
what are the best authentic (ie frequented by locals!) restaurants?

2. being a tourist
what to avoid. or what to avoid missing. are there any places that 95% of tourists never see, but really should?

and as a bonus question, any random tips about getting around or good places to chill with an espresso.

thanks in advance

let’s just say, DON’T Drink the canal water! haha

I go to University in Venice… so I’m here every day but it never ceases to surprise me.. It’s simply the most wonderful place I’ve ever been to…

Whatevee you say about Venice is still not enough!

I puked across the entire canal. I don’t recommend it…

and i would go there any time again…after i visit the other places;)
