🇮🇹 Venice Travel Guide 🧩 Travel Memory Fragments

✅ Starting Point in Venice👍 Divided into the main island, Murano (Glass Island), Burano (Rainbow Island), and other small islands. The main island is best explored on foot (aka" or citywalk), while the smaller islands require a boat ticket. ✅ Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) – See the bustling main artery😁 An ancient and famous main bridge connecting Venice’s busiest thoroughfare. Very crowded and a prime photo spot. ✅ St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) – Take a Jay Chou-style photo The central main square, featured on the cover of Jay Chou’s November’s Chopin album (yes, the one with the dark, moodyeaves).👍 ✅ St. Mark’s Campanile (Campanile di San Marco) – Catch a sunset❤️ Breathtakingly beautiful before sunset. If you don’t have a reservation, try your luck on-site. Arrive just before sunset to enjoy the panoramic view from the top. ✅ Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) – See both ends A scene straight out of elementary school textbooks. The bridge connects the prison on one end and the courthouse on the other.😍 ✅ Gondola – Ride a gondolier’s boat Signs are everywhere. Routes vary by duration, and prices differ between afternoon and evening rides. A budget-friendly tip: look for gondoliers in backstreet canals who accept cash only – don’t hesitate to negotiate! 30-45 minutes costs around €60-80.😘 ✅ Libreria Acqua Alta (Bookshop) – Pet the cats Not only features gondolas filled with books but also plenty of fearless cats 🐱. Perfect for stationery lovers: calendars, notebooks, fridge magnets. ✅ Suso Gelato – Try the ice cream The gelato is incredibly delicious. Although the line stretches down the alley, it moves quickly and orderly – you’ll get yours in under 15 minutes.🎶 ✅ 1000 Gourmet Venazia – Try the pistachio pizza😂 Makes even nut-haters fall in love with pistachio pizza for the first time. 🥹 If you’re prone to seasickness, bring motion sickness meds – otherwise, it might be rough. German 🇩🇪 folks can try Superpep – chew it before boarding, and it’ll numb the discomfort away. #Venice #TravelGuide #TravelFragments #MyTravelDiary
