An introduction to Venice
Share
Venice is one of those rare places that actually lives not only up to, but way beyond its hype. When someone tells you there’s nowhere else like it, they’re telling you the absolute truth.
From the moment you step foot on one of the 117 islands that make up this remarkable city, you will be captivated. This feeling of experiencing something magical will last for years after your visit, whether you’re splashing the cash of travelling on shoestring.
The best thing you can do in Venice is to put the map away and get lost. Venice is small and so long as you know roughly where the station and St Mark’s Square are, you’ll find your way back to your hotel.
Every corner of Venice is beautiful. The main attractions like St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge are indeed some of the most stunning sights you’ll ever see, but by exploring on your own you’ll discover secluded pockets that your friends won’t have near-identical pictures of.
Stumble upon a gelateria serving ice cream that somehow manages to taste even better than it looks, spy a gondola sliding through a shady gap between two majestic buildings, and find yourself alone in a sun-drenched square surrounded by flowers in a multitude of colours.
Finish a day of exploration with a meal in a side-street restaurant, before soaking up the atmosphere in St Mark’s Square. Listen to the orchestras, admire St Mark’s Basilica, feed the pigeons and enjoy the humbling sense that the beautiful city of Venice has hosted this show of splendour every evening for hundreds of years, without you knowing anything about it.
