🇮🇹 Venice Classic CITYWALK Route

Among all Italian cities, Venice is my absolute favorite. It’s a place where wide canals meet narrow waterways, with all kinds of boats gliding between centuries-old buildings. 🛶✨ Most travelers arrive at Venezia Santa Lucia Railway Station 🚉 — so let’s start our walk from there! 🗺️ Route: Santa Lucia Station → Ponte degli Scalzi → Rialto Bridge → DFS → St. Mark’s Square → Campanile → St. Mark’s Basilica → Caffè Florian → Bridge of Sighs 1️⃣ Ponte degli Scalzi Right outside the station, you’ll see a green-domed church ⛪️. The bridge next to it is Ponte degli Scalzi — a perfect spot to photograph the canal and church. Cross it to continue. 2️⃣ Rialto Bridge One of the busiest and most iconic spots in Venice. The bridge has a covered arcade with shops and open walkways on both sides. It was even featured in Spider-Man: Far From Home! 🕸️🎬 3️⃣ DFS Located near Rialto Bridge, this duty-free mall is okay for shopping 🛍️, but the real highlight is the rooftop view. You need to book in advance to go up — or sneak a good shot from the 4th-floor windows. 4️⃣ St. Mark’s Square The heart of Venice 🏛️. Built in the 9th century, Napoleon called it “the finest drawing room in Europe.” Honestly, most European piazzas are pretty small — but this one truly lives up to the word “square.” 5️⃣ St. Mark’s Campanile Standing 98.6 meters tall, the bell tower has a rough history — damaged and rebuilt multiple times. It collapsed in 1902, and the current version dates back to 1912. 6️⃣ St. Mark’s Basilica Construction began in the 9th century and finished in 1094. The relics of St. Mark were smuggled from Egypt and placed here. The church blends Byzantine and Gothic styles and is covered in golden mosaics — unbelievably lavish! ⛪️✨ Expect long queues. 7️⃣ Caffè Florian A 300-year-old café on St. Mark’s Square ☕️. Famous guests have included Monet, Hemingway, Chaplin, and Nietzsche. 8️⃣ Bridge of Sighs Over the water near the Doge’s Palace, this bridge connected the court to the prison. convicts would sigh here knowing it was their last view of Venice. 😔 💡 TIPS: 1️⃣ Venice’s alleyways are narrow and winding — perfect for getting lost in a good way! Follow the general direction, and you’ll hit all the main sights. Google Maps works well here. 2️⃣ Tired? Hop on a vaporetto (water bus) from any major stop. Buy a ticket and ride like a local! 🚤 #LiveAndLife #TravelInStyle #Venice #Wanderlust #ItalyDiaries 🇮🇹💙
