Venice

VENICE 

If you are lucky enough to visit this amazing place then there are a few things you may want to check out. 

One tip I would give is to visit when there aren't cruise ships in town as congestion and foot traffic can get out of hand! 

Also try to eat outside of tourist areas unless you want to be price gouged. There are generally better restaurants and stalls five minutes walk from major tourist attractions like the Bell Tower. 

Top Three (non crowded) Activities 

Glass Blowing demonstration 

You should be able to find a free glass blowing presentation around the main tourist areas. It is amazing to see how vases, glasses and figurines are hand made. But beware that nothing is ever truly free , we were ushered into a closed room with products to buy immediately after. 

Burano and Lido 

Take the ferry to these islands to get away from other tourists and to experience everything Venice has to offer. 

Burano is full of unique colorful houses and Lido is wonderful for the beach and is the setting for the Venice film festival. 

Gondola Ride 

This is cliche and expensive but if you have the money is great for truly experiencing the ambiance. Relax for around $100 Euro and sip your glass of champagne as you view the city from the water. 

Venice has many other attractions , make sure you walk around and explore every area.
