ITALY
Welcome to Italy,
It’s been a long time since i wanted to visit Venise and from Nice it’s actually not that far. I had ew days off and decided jump on this 20€ flixbus and cross the border and North of Italy to reach Venice the next morning. Before travelling there i knew the light on the canaux was something to catch but it exceeded my expectations. After few days exploring this city (island) i want to share my tips and itineraries.
Things you need to know before visiting Italy
When to Visit Italy ?
Be careful to the rain season
Summer : very very crowded
Spring : very nice weather enjoyable and already crowded.
How to Get There ?
Marco Polo Airport –
From Mestre – A train every 10 minutes – that last 5 minutes – 2€ ticket – Very convenient
From xxx to xxx you’ll have to pay a fee to access the island this is made to limitate the number of people on the island.
How to Get Around ?
Once you get on the Island
- Walking – litteraly walkable – i’ve only used my feet during those 4 days.
- Water public transport – buy the 24h or something
- Taxi Boat
Things to Do :
Main Attraction Point :
- Rialto Bridge
- Pont des Soupirs
- St mark’s Place
- Ponte dell Academia
- go up to St Mark’s place
- Library
- Peggy Guggenheim Museum – Describe a bit who is peggy
- L’opera
- Vivaldi Concert
Day Trip :
- Murano
- Burano
Different Areas
I like to know the different areas and stroll arround. If i feel i wanna stop for a coffee or an icecream because i feel like, then i’ll do. Just below you’ll find the different areas where you all get a different vibe.
Cannaregio – Jewish (free walking tour; the first one i ever did and i was esthonished who good it was – Peaceful – Calm – Less Known – Eat an Ice Cream and seat on the main canal)
- Get your guide or free walking tour
Student Area
South of the Island – Quiet and Parks
How Avoiding the Crowd ?
The first day, I’ve try to do as much as possible and to walk to every single location, at night i felt a little bit overwhelmed and i noticed i didn’t enjoy that much. At least it allowed me to know the area i’ve liked the more or the less.
- Wake up early in the morning
- More peaceful in the evening or at night
- Go to less turisty Area (here)
- Go for free walking tour instead of operator tour – more authentic – not visiting the main attraction of the city.
