🇮🇹 Venice Ultimate Guide — What to Skip & What to Do

⛵️ Freshly returned from Venice! Here’s a super detailed guide — avoid tourist traps 📵, take epic photos 📸, and make the most of your trip. 1️⃣ St. Mark‘s Square (Piazza San Marco) ▪️ St. Mark’s Basilica: Byzantine gold mosaics are breathtaking! Climb the bell tower at sunset for epic city views ⛪️ (€3 entry, €10 tower). ⚠️ But note: It gets crazy sunny ☀️ by noon — hard to avoid glare/backlight. One part is under renovation 🚧, but it’s still worth it if you want that Jay Chou vibe or classic shots. ▪️ Doge’s Palace + Bridge of Sighs: Combo ticket €25. For the best full shot of the bridge, go to Ponte della Paglia 📸. 👀 Fun fact: You’ll see loads of souvenirs — feels like Yiwu Market vibes lol. 2️⃣ Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) It’s called the “best Grand Canal viewpoint,” but honestly… it’s just okay. 👎 3️⃣ Gondola Rides Not worth it IMO — 40 mins under the blazing sun ☀️, not girl-friendly if you want to stay cute. Also pricey: €80–160 per boat (fits 6), and they sometimes charge more if you look touristy. 4️⃣ Libreria Acqua Alta (Bookshop) 📚 Called “one of the world’s most beautiful bookstores,” but honestly… it’s overhyped. There’s a gondola in the backyard for free photos — that’s why most girls go. Skip if you’re not into pics. 🌈 Burano (Colorful Island) + Murano (Glass Island) Transport: Everyone says buy the 1-day pass (€25), but a single ticket is enough. I paid €9.5 one-way to Burano — round trip €19. Burano 🌈: Super small. 40 mins max for photos and a quick walk. Cute colorful houses — great for Instagram! Murano (Glass Island): Not recommended. Watching glass-blowing is fun… but once is enough. Skip if you’re not deeply interested. 📌 Pro Tips Wear comfy flats! 🥿 Cobblestones + 400 bridges = sore feet. Ages 6–29: Get the Rolling Venice Card (€33 = 3-day transport + attraction discounts). ☔️ Rainy Day Bonus: Bring a clear umbrella! Learn from Lou Yixiao — shoot moody, artsy waiting-in-the-rain gondola photos 🌧️🖤. 💬 Final Thoughts: Venice is small — 2.5 days is plenty. This guide is for photo-focused travelers, not chill relaxers 😉. Food note: After 3 days of pasta and pizza 🍝🍕, my Chinese stomach was crying 😭. Bring your own snacks if you’re staying longer! #MyTravelMemories #TravelMoments #VeniceGuide #HonestTravel #VisitVenice
