Venice doesn’t play by normal rules. Streets are canals. Cars don’t exist. And getting lost is part of the plan. A Venice vacation feels unreal in the best way. One minute you’re gliding down the Grand Canal, the next you’re standing in a quiet alley wondering how a city like this even happened.
Yes, you’ll see St. Mark’s Square. You’ll cross the Rialto Bridge. But Venice shines when you slow down. Long lunches. Late walks. Aperitivo by the water while gondolas drift past like they’ve got nowhere else to be.
But here’s the thing. Venice rewards smart planning.
Personal tip: Stay a little away from St. Mark’s. Dorsoduro or Cannaregio feels calmer and more local.
Another one: Early mornings are magic. Fewer crowds. Better photos.
Last tip: Skip gondolas if you want. Vaporetto rides give you the same views for a lot less.
