the first time I was in Venice it was off tourist season and besides the main attractions, the city was mostly empty. it was absolutely magical to walk at night through those empty narrow streets. at some point we reached a dead end and had to go back and so as we were leaving that corner we saw a girl in a beautiful long black dress just walk past us and after a few seconds disappearing into that dead end side alley. I was absolutely mesmerised.
I have been to Venice several times while Dad was stationed with NATO years ago. But my favorite was Feb 2020. I went for the first time by myself. Got an airbnb, took a food tour, made friends on the tour, enjoyed Carnavale. But...Covid hit. Everyone scrambled out of the city. Though the reason for everyone's sudden departures was terrible, I stayed a few extra days. It was the most serene, magical and divine time I has ever spent there. The streets were quiet, the canals were quiet and you only heard Italian spoken. Only locals in that spectacular city. The most magical moments where it seemed that there were presences from the past around every corner. Looking forward to going back.
You go to Venice expecting to be amazed by the canals and bridges. And you are. But then you get lost in the alley ways and you think for sure you've travelled centuries in time. The place is just mesmerizing.
@Italy by Italians I visit my family in Florence. Milan and my grandparents' home of Sicily. But Venice is on my list. I went to Rome, twice. I want to move there but my wife doesn't want b to leave her Mexico.
Such a sensitive and well-curated list that embodies, beyond the popular and commercial stereotypes, the essential and timeless qualities that make Venezia unique and precious, a slowly fading but still beautiful dream of the splendor wrought by the generations that have gone before us. Thank you!
I spent several days in Venice about 20 years ago, and it was magical! I spent one morning just wandering the little walkways between houses, seeing the rooftop gardens spilling over the sides of the houses, and soaking in the scenery. One of the highlights of my life! Great video, too.
I have worked there for many years in Venice, and a beautiful city a magical city especially in winter when the fog falls over the city, it seems to be back in the year 1800 .. and it seems that suddenly some historical figure appears ... Which nation in the world has such beauty? or such fabulous architecture ... I have traveled around the world, I have lived in North America in Canada, but Italy is Italy ... Venice must be experienced .. in this video the island of Murano where they make glass sculptures is missing, the island of Burano and the island of Lido di Venice ... there is much more to see ..
We completely agree with you, Venice is magical. You are right, there are places missing in this video, but that's because we tried to focus only on the least known attractions, I hope that you liked our tips in general. Btw, your surname sounds Italian, am I right? 😉
We did the trip to the 3 islands. Watched glass blowing in Murano. The coloured houses is Burano are so pretty. The trip with a guide was just 25euros each. We also were given 50% off at the glass factory. An absolute bargain.
Nomater where you go, Italy is by far the most magic and incredible place in this planet. I love italy so much , this year alone i have ben to Italy 3 times.
Thank you for sharing! Long time dream was to visit Venice. In a couple of days, I will be in Venice with my son! I look forward to exploring the city, thank you for the tips!
That's fantastic! Our suggestion is to watch this other video as well, so you'll have a complete overview of what to do and what to know before your trip to Venice 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/M5tpuDa94_M/v-deo.html Let us know your experience!
We spent 10 magical days in Venice in February 2019 and deliberately went off the beaten track. First day we just left our hotel as soon as we had breakfast and just walked till it was dark.We found fantastic restaurants and eateries out of the way and went to quite a few of the places you suggested. Can't wait to return.

Very very fine video. Lots of interesting things. I happen to like Castello and even when there is almost no room to walk in San Marco there are tourists there. Plus the beautiful church supposedly by Palladio. Venezia without doubt the most beautiful city on this planet. And no cars, almost no bikes and the perfect separation of pedestrian and transport. In my view this is what makes Venezia so wonderful. Other cities have intact ancient buildings (Siena, Vicenza, etc etc) but water in the streets and the serenity of all pedestrian makes it the jewel of our solar system.
I just subscribed ❣️ GREAT video. 🇮🇹❤️💚 I can’t wait to visit Venice again, I was last there 25 years ago. I was a single girl who stayed in a dormitory in a convent for cheap. This time I’ll bring my husband and our 18 yr old daughter.
This is exatly what we are looking for - non-touristy sites , but with all the charms that Venice has to offer ! Thank you so much for your video, we'll be in Venice for 3 days at the end of June, can't wait to explore all the places you have suggested

@@ItalybyItalians Grazie I visited Venetia once time a week-end but I never saw all the typical landmarks you showed in you video. Only 2 days is not enough ! Esatto ?
@@didierroux4596 Yes, two days it's definitely too short to see the must-see plus the hidden gems, hopefully you can come back to visit it again ❤️ we also shot another video about Venice on how to organize your trip, you might want to check it out 😊

Thanks Belinda! Rome was in our plans but we never had the chance to shoot a video there, but if you look in our channel you'll find many other Italian cities. Have fun in your trip!
@@ItalybyItalians The architecture is like being inside a fairytale, just having an expresso and watching the boats and gondolas go by on a side alley was lovely!
We are currently in Venice on holiday in DT Zaccaria. I couldn't be asked to do a whole circle around Venice to get to Murano do we walked to Celestia. It was really beautiful. TOP TIP for Navigation: Canals are very good because if you know roughly where you are then you can follow the canals and they all lead to the gran canal. Also in Lido the beach is partially private so keep Walking north
Wonderful video. Been to Venice several times but taking the whole family in May. We have some favorite restaurants and eating experiences but would like some recommendations that are not necessarily know by all. Thank you for this great video.
Hi Giulia, well done for your video ! I've watched a couple of videos like yours but I prefer this one by far to the others that might have few million views. You deserve fame and glory for such good content and I hope time will give both to you ;)
Thanks so much Nicolas, your words make me very very happy! 🤗 We're working really hard to provide high-quality content, we hope that visibility will increase over time. If you feel like it, please share our channel with those you know who love Italy 😉
@@diamondplate Hi! Thanks, your comment makes us really proud 😊 We are working on more videos, we stopped for a while as people weren't looking for these kind of videos until now but we hope to grow as well. Feel free to share our channel if you want 😉
@@ItalybyItalians to be honest, just walking the streets exploring was the best… turning a corner and finding a little bridge… following a path and unexpectedly cross the grand canal… I only wish my wife and kids could have been there with me… next time for sure
yes! don't stay on the island. avoid staying on the island at all costs. find a place that is on the mainland, near the station. everything is upstairs and carrying luggage is hard around the island. walk across the bridge to the island and enjoy the sites. navigating the water transport is tricky, you will see more walking. be a ware that what looks like a path to someone's door is actually a street. be careful where you eat, they have city taxes just to sit down. they have 2 menu's , one for the locals and one for the tourists. if you are going to eat a restaurant, do your home work on the establishment. it is not a case of if you will get ripped off, you will! it is a case of how much. if you follow this advise, you will enjoy the visit.
@@ItalybyItalians I have been a few times, this was my experience, would I go back? undecided. but I will advise anyone who plans to visit Venice what to expect.
Thanks! We try to do our best and share the most useful tips, I'm glad you liked our video. Your Italian is good! That's almost correct, it should be "tutto bene" 😁
My husband and I were in Venice on honeymoon in 1955..in August. I remember seeing an amazing, huge antique beaten gold screen behind the altar in St Mark's cathedral. It was studded with gems...large ones.. like emeralds, rubies, sapphires and a pearl almistcthe size of a bantam hen's egg! I am wondering if that is ever on display these days....or I'd the danger of theft is too great. Those gems were truly enormous.. and incredibly beautiful. Thank you for that non touristy tour.
@@ItalybyItalians I looked up the Pala D'oro.. The screen we saw was not that ...This one was behind the altar...At the back of it. Perhaps even backing it. It had no designs or pictures. It was plain beaten gold with gems dotted on it all over the place...in no specific order or pattern. It was very beautiful.. the gems were huge..and I especially remember an enormous pearl. ⁰
Was there a few weeks ago, delighted to see St Mark's was dry this time every day! I stay at the Hotel Ala, because you can take a water taxi from the airport direct to the canal door in their lobby, much easier than dragging bags across bridges and plazas.
Very nice overview about the so-called "top-attractions" and really useful stuff besides them. Thanks a lot for preparing us non-italian-travellers with these really helpful videos. We will stay for 4 days in October before travelling to Florence afterwards. Are there any highlights we can't miss then? Hope there's more to come :)! +1 more subscription!
Hi, thank you for your comment! What a nice holiday you have ahead, hope you will enjoy it 😊 I would say that a guided tour inside the Doge's Palace is unmissable. Then of course hop around some of the islands that form the Lagoon of Venice like Burano, Murano, Torcello, La Giudecca, San Giorgio. We will soon start working on new videos, stay tuned!

Me and by best friend are going on a girls trip to Venice next year we are two young Scottish best friends and cannot wait . We will definitely visit some of these places
Cool u will have so much fun! If you'll have some free time I would suggest you to see also other places nearby. Learn what else you could do in Venice area (Veneto) here: ua-cam.com/video/5RLo_RiuA04/v-deo.html
Venice is a clean, beautiful, quiet place to visit. You need at least 3 full days to explore it & surrounding Islands. Also found one nice subcontinent food restaurant here ITAL INDIAN. It didn't look like the rest of Italy. I wish I had given more days here instead of Rome & Milan!
Amazing video! Loved all the local tips. Quick question: what are other locations you can get the traghetto gondola other than the one at santa sofia? And are they all 2€? Thanks! Subscribed!
Thanks Michal, we are glad you liked it ✌️ The Gondola-Traghetto stops along all the "stazi" (piers) on the Grand Canal, which are: - Fondamenta S. Lucia - Stazione - San Marcuola - Fóndaco dei Turchi - San Samuele - Cà Rezzónico - Campo Santa Maria del Giglio - Salute - San Tomà - Santo Stefano - Rialto Mercato - Cà D'Oro (the one you see in our video) - Riva del Carbòn - Fondamente del Vin Each trip costs 2€. Don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions!
Thank you so much for this video I know it’s three years ago but I’m just finding you on UA-cam. It was really insightful. I saved it for any future times I come to Venice also on a crazy note I love jewelry. I think your necklace is stunning can you tell me how much about it? Thank you so much by the way my name is Lisa.
Thank you so much Lisa! Actually I bought that necklace in Venice, it's made from Murano glass 😍 I don't remember the price but it was a good quality/price deal.
@@ItalybyItalians oh well thank you so much for replying quickly in today. Well I hope you’re having a great weekend. I was just watching a couple more of your videos I’m enjoying it I live here in Sacramento California and it’s starting to be winter so I’m just dreaming of being somewhere else. Enjoy your weekend. Thank you so much.
Treviso is a great spot near Venice with airport as well. You can find a great apartment like "palazzina trevigiana" or "chiarano home" near the train station and then go by to Venice easily because are only 25 minute of train. Treviso is a super cool city as well, so I think is the best way to visit 2 great city in one trip 🎉
Hello! If you will be taking Venice public transport via waterboats, we suggest you to consider a timed ticket (1 - 2 - 3 days tickets): with these tickets you can also reach Venice Islands. Another cheap option is the boat tour: here some additional information about it ua-cam.com/video/M5tpuDa94_M/v-deo.html
I wish I had found this a month ago when we were in Venice. What a very special city. I look forward to coming back and visiting these places...what time of year was this filmed?
Churchies: San Sebastiano (with painting by Veronese), Gesuati, Gesuiti, San Salvador ("Annunciazione" by Tiziano, near Rialto Bridge), San Pantalon, San Nicolò dei Mendicoli, Madonna dell'orto, Miracoli, Scalzi (near the station), San Geremia, San Giacomo dell'orio, San Pietro di Castello, San Zulian. Very interesting, five minutes from Saint Mark, the school of San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, with masterpieces of Carpaccio. And obviously the most big churchies in Venice, Frari and San Giovanni e Paolo. And Ca' Rezzonico Santo Stefano. A lot of things to see. I love my Venice, anyway. My favorite place remains San Sebastian, after Zattere. But there are too beautiful Islands Like Sant'Erasmo (a sort of country in lagoon) and La Certosa. And food
I've visited Venice twice, each time only for 2 nights. Hope to go back one day. But if I ever make it from New Zealand back to Europe I feel I should visit Spain or Greece, I have never been to either place. But Italy is my favourite so who knows... Maybe a big trip to combine several places. I want to visit Sicily too. Too much to see in this world, especially when you live so far away from most of it!
I visited Venice twice but some of the places I didn't know existed. Here is reason for another third visit. Thanks for the idea. My next trip is to Tuscany. Do you have any suggestions on what I should not miss?
Hey Leonardo, thanks for your comment 🤗 you should definitely check out our video about Tuscany ua-cam.com/video/X1U0KcBuTQs/v-deo.html as well as the videos we made about Pisa and Lucca if you are going to visit them ✌️ let us know your experience!
Loved luca. Every night there is a 1 hour performance featuring music by Lucas native son Puccini. Not an opera fan but just loved it. Cost 20 euros. Worth twice that. Hearing opera in Italy just feels so right.
We stopped at a winery for a tour -“Tenuta la Velette”. It was amazing. The wines were fantastic & they show you the hand dug caverns under the house filled with wine niches!
Благодарю за эту прогулку и за подсказки. Из 13 (+ бонус) предложенных Вами мест я был в 7. Обнаруживал их практически случайно (а на галерее Contarini del Bovolo рисовал виды города). Кроме того, нашёл ещё массу внезапных открытий. Венеция неисчерпаема. Надеюсь, ещё в этой жизни снова там побываю и порисую. Когда-нибудь... После того, как моя безумная страна - Россия - прекратит войну в Украине (вернее, её заставят остановиться и уйти).
Lake Garda is a great destination, full of things to do, you can check them out here: shorturl.at/gpDJ9 we would suggest to choose your preferred town based on what activities you want to do: if you are based on the northeast side it's not that easy to go all the way to the southwest. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy ✌️
@@ItalybyItalians thank you for the reply! We want a sleepier place where we can sit and read at cafes, see beautiful but authentic Italian buildings and neighborhoods, and meet Italians (not just other tourists). Maybe Lake Orta would give us that feel more than Garda as Garda is so populated with tourists? Or is there a Lake Garda town that's sleepy?
@@michaelkirkpatrick9522 ah it sounds so nice ❤️ we found a nice article that briefly describes the most recommended places to sleep on Lake Garda: it's in Italian, but if you could google translate it in English you may find the information you're looking for 🤗 www.pimpmytrip.it/dove-dormire-lago-di-garda/#lombardia
We have arrived today in Venice, one nights transit, from Sirmione on Lake Garda. Absolutely stunning. Everywhere is spotless. Fabulous food in restaurants on the waters edge. We have previously been to Malcesine too. You will have a wonderful time. Cruising from tomorrow, then back to Venice for 3 nights, our first visit. Can’t wait.
Hi Eri, I don't remember as we didn't try just one - to have a true Cicchetti experience you need to go from place to place, eating something in each one.
the first time I was in Venice it was off tourist season and besides the main attractions, the city was mostly empty. it was absolutely magical to walk at night through those empty narrow streets. at some point we reached a dead end and had to go back and so as we were leaving that corner we saw a girl in a beautiful long black dress just walk past us and after a few seconds disappearing into that dead end side alley.

Wow, i’ve just been to venice but I Didn’t know about all of this awesome thing to do.
NexT time i’ ll do all of this.
Very underrated channel.
We can only agree with you! Help us in sharing our channel 💞
We are currently in Venice on holiday in DT Zaccaria. I couldn't be asked to do a whole circle around Venice to get to Murano do we walked to Celestia. It was really beautiful. TOP TIP for Navigation: Canals are very good because if you know roughly where you are then you can follow the canals and they all lead to the gran canal. Also in Lido the beach is partially private so keep Walking north
Great tips, thanks for sharing 😉
Wonderful video. Been to Venice several times but taking the whole family in May. We have some favorite restaurants and eating experiences but would like some recommendations that are not necessarily know by all. Thank you for this great video.
Have fun with your family! We don't usually recommend restaurants but I'm sure you'll find plenty of good options 😉
books and cats...... I love it already!
Great list! For future videos, it would be nice if you posted a map showing where all these places are located.
Thanks for your suggestion! ✌️
Thank you very much for this interesting video!
Wow!!! Great video. Grazie ciao franco

Thanks Judy! Are you planning to go to Venice? ☺️
Hi Giulia, well done for your video ! I've watched a couple of videos like yours but I prefer this one by far to the others that might have few million views. You deserve fame and glory for such good content and I hope time will give both to you ;)
Thanks so much Nicolas, your words make me very very happy! 🤗
We're working really hard to provide high-quality content, we hope that visibility will increase over time.
If you feel like it, please share our channel with those you know who love Italy 😉
@@diamondplate Hi! Thanks, your comment makes us really proud 😊
We are working on more videos, we stopped for a while as people weren't looking for these kind of videos until now but we hope to grow as well. Feel free to share our channel if you want 😉
I'm from venice, initially I was very scared but now i'm happy because these are not the secrets places of venice ehehehehe
Very good video. Really enjoyed.
So glad you liked it!
Pretty happy I did 10 out of the 13 all by myself! :)
❤️ how was your experience? What was your favorite highlight? 🇮🇹😃
@@ItalybyItalians to be honest, just walking the streets exploring was the best… turning a corner and finding a little bridge… following a path and unexpectedly cross the grand canal… I only wish my wife and kids could have been there with me… next time for sure
you should talk of San Lazzaro degli armeni, small island outside Venice. Nice video indeed
Great vídeo. New Subscriber 🌹❤️
Thank you and welcome to the community!
Impressive. Thank you.
🥰🇮🇹✌️
Thank you so much. I will visit Venice soon and now I know, what a really wish to see. Best regards :) 🥰
Thank you! I'm so glad you found my video useful 😉
Great video. Visiting In April some great ideas
Thank you, we hope you'll have a great time in April ❤️ you can find more tips about Venice here ua-cam.com/video/M5tpuDa94_M/v-deo.html
yes! don't stay on the island.
avoid staying on the island at all costs.
find a place that is on the mainland, near the station.
everything is upstairs and carrying luggage is hard around the island.
walk across the bridge to the island and enjoy the sites.
navigating the water transport is tricky, you will see more walking.
be a ware that what looks like a path to someone's door is actually a street.
be careful where you eat, they have city taxes just to sit down.
they have 2 menu's , one for the locals and one for the tourists.
if you are going to eat a restaurant, do your home work on the establishment.
it is not a case of if you will get ripped off, you will! it is a case of how much.
if you follow this advise, you will enjoy the visit.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 We didn't say everything you wrote but I must say that you'really prepared about your trip to Venice 😁
Have a good time!
@@ItalybyItalians I have been a few times, this was my experience, would I go back?
undecided. but I will advise anyone who plans to visit Venice what to expect.
I am so impressed of what you two have shared! It always takes two… Love Your dresses! Totto benne, if that is correct :-)
Thanks! We try to do our best and share the most useful tips, I'm glad you liked our video.
Your Italian is good! That's almost correct, it should be "tutto bene" 😁
My husband and I were in Venice on honeymoon in 1955..in August.
I remember seeing an amazing, huge antique beaten gold screen behind the altar in St Mark's cathedral. It was studded with gems...large ones.. like emeralds, rubies, sapphires and a pearl almistcthe size of a bantam hen's egg!
I am wondering if that is ever on display these days....or I'd the danger of theft is too great. Those gems were truly enormous.. and incredibly beautiful.
Thank you for that non touristy tour.
Hey Shirley, thanks for your comment 🥰 yes, that is the Pala d'oro, which is preserved behind St. Mark's Basilica altar. Truly spectacular!
@@ItalybyItalians I looked up the Pala D'oro.. The screen we saw was not that ...This one was behind the altar...At the back of it. Perhaps even backing it. It had no designs or pictures. It was plain beaten gold with gems dotted on it all over the place...in no specific order or pattern. It was very beautiful.. the gems were huge..and I especially remember an enormous pearl. ⁰
What a wonderful video! Thank you for doing this. I will be there in 2 months. Recommendations for a tour guide?
Sure, you can check what's available here: www.getyourguide.com/venice-l35/?partner_id=2G5RE0Q
Let us know your experience in Venice :)
@@ItalybyItalians thank you:)
Was there a few weeks ago, delighted to see St Mark's was dry this time every day! I stay at the Hotel Ala, because you can take a water taxi from the airport direct to the canal door in their lobby, much easier than dragging bags across bridges and plazas.
That's lovely! What was your favorite highlight of Venice? 😍
Very nice overview about the so-called "top-attractions" and really useful stuff besides them. Thanks a lot for preparing us non-italian-travellers with these really helpful videos. We will stay for 4 days in October before travelling to Florence afterwards. Are there any highlights we can't miss then? Hope there's more to come :)! +1 more subscription!
Hi, thank you for your comment! What a nice holiday you have ahead, hope you will enjoy it 😊
I would say that a guided tour inside the Doge's Palace is unmissable. Then of course hop around some of the islands that form the Lagoon of Venice like Burano, Murano, Torcello, La Giudecca, San Giorgio.
We will soon start working on new videos, stay tuned!

Here are the highlights. Go to Venice. Walk down a street. Turn right. Then left. Repeat. Gaze in awe and wonder.
Also loved the boat ride to see the glass makers.
So Beautiful video my dear
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for the video
I'm glad you found it useful 👍
I'm from India ..i love italy...🥰
You are great! Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks so much Izabela 😊❤️
Me and by best friend are going on a girls trip to Venice next year we are two young Scottish best friends and cannot wait . We will definitely visit some of these places
Cool u will have so much fun! If you'll have some free time I would suggest you to see also other places nearby. Learn what else you could do in Venice area (Veneto) here: ua-cam.com/video/5RLo_RiuA04/v-deo.html
@@ItalybyItalians perfect thank you I will have a look at that we will be there for 4 nights
Thank you so much!
Venice is a clean, beautiful, quiet place to visit. You need at least 3 full days to explore it & surrounding Islands. Also found one nice subcontinent food restaurant here ITAL INDIAN. It didn't look like the rest of Italy. I wish I had given more days here instead of Rome & Milan!
It is a marvellous destination indeed 🤩
great video, thanks
Thank you! Hope you'll have a great time in Venice 😎
Amazing video! Loved all the local tips. Quick question: what are other locations you can get the traghetto gondola other than the one at santa sofia? And are they all 2€? Thanks! Subscribed!
Thanks Michal, we are glad you liked it ✌️
The Gondola-Traghetto stops along all the "stazi" (piers) on the Grand Canal, which are:
- Fondamenta S. Lucia - Stazione
- San Marcuola - Fóndaco dei Turchi
- San Samuele - Cà Rezzónico
- Campo Santa Maria del Giglio - Salute
- San Tomà - Santo Stefano
- Rialto Mercato - Cà D'Oro (the one you see in our video)
- Riva del Carbòn - Fondamente del Vin
Each trip costs 2€.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions!
@@ItalybyItalians thank you so much! Waiting for more videos :)
I read somewhere that the gondola traghetto services are between 9am and 2pm only. Is this so?
Your smile could light up Rome ♥
Awwww you're very kind, thank you!
Love it! Going in August. Do you have a list of the places mentioned? Thank you!
Nevermind. Just saw it!
Thank you, I hope you'll enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much for this video I know it’s three years ago but I’m just finding you on UA-cam. It was really insightful. I saved it for any future times I come to Venice also on a crazy note I love jewelry. I think your necklace is stunning can you tell me how much about it? Thank you so much by the way my name is Lisa.
Thank you so much Lisa! Actually I bought that necklace in Venice, it's made from Murano glass 😍 I don't remember the price but it was a good quality/price deal.
@@ItalybyItalians oh well thank you so much for replying quickly in today. Well I hope you’re having a great weekend. I was just watching a couple more of your videos I’m enjoying it I live here in Sacramento California and it’s starting to be winter so I’m just dreaming of being somewhere else. Enjoy your weekend. Thank you so much.
Treviso is a great spot near Venice with airport as well. You can find a great apartment like "palazzina trevigiana" or "chiarano home" near the train station and then go by to Venice easily because are only 25 minute of train. Treviso is a super cool city as well, so I think is the best way to visit 2 great city in one trip 🎉
Julia you are great! Grazie mile
Grazie a te! Where are you from Eka?
@@ItalybyItalians I'm from Georgia
Venice very beautiful ❤❤
Hi thank you for such a great video, what would you recommend for a cheap way to see the colourful Burano please.
Hello! If you will be taking Venice public transport via waterboats, we suggest you to consider a timed ticket (1 - 2 - 3 days tickets): with these tickets you can also reach Venice Islands. Another cheap option is the boat tour: here some additional information about it ua-cam.com/video/M5tpuDa94_M/v-deo.html
I wish I had found this a month ago when we were in Venice. What a very special city. I look forward to coming back and visiting these places...what time of year was this filmed?
Churchies: San Sebastiano (with painting by Veronese), Gesuati, Gesuiti, San Salvador ("Annunciazione" by Tiziano, near Rialto Bridge), San Pantalon, San Nicolò dei Mendicoli, Madonna dell'orto, Miracoli, Scalzi (near the station), San Geremia, San Giacomo dell'orio, San Pietro di Castello, San Zulian. Very interesting, five minutes from Saint Mark, the school of San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, with masterpieces of Carpaccio. And obviously the most big churchies in Venice, Frari and San Giovanni e Paolo. And Ca' Rezzonico Santo Stefano. A lot of things to see. I love my Venice, anyway. My favorite place remains San Sebastian, after Zattere. But there are too beautiful Islands Like Sant'Erasmo (a sort of country in lagoon) and La Certosa. And food
Thanks for sharing your favorite places 😊
I've visited Venice twice, each time only for 2 nights. Hope to go back one day. But if I ever make it from New Zealand back to Europe I feel I should visit Spain or Greece, I have never been to either place. But Italy is my favourite so who knows... Maybe a big trip to combine several places. I want to visit Sicily too. Too much to see in this world, especially when you live so far away from most of it!
Thanks for your comment Simon! We hope you can travel again to Europe and to Italy to see as many places as possible ❤️🇮🇹
I visited Venice twice but some of the places I didn't know existed. Here is reason for another third visit. Thanks for the idea. My next trip is to Tuscany. Do you have any suggestions on what I should not miss?
Hey Leonardo, thanks for your comment 🤗 you should definitely check out our video about Tuscany ua-cam.com/video/X1U0KcBuTQs/v-deo.html as well as the videos we made about Pisa and Lucca if you are going to visit them ✌️ let us know your experience!
Loved luca. Every night there is a 1 hour performance featuring music by Lucas native son Puccini. Not an opera fan but just loved it. Cost 20 euros. Worth twice that. Hearing opera in Italy just feels so right.
We stopped at a winery for a tour -“Tenuta la Velette”. It was amazing. The wines were fantastic & they show you the hand dug caverns under the house filled with wine niches!
Благодарю за эту прогулку и за подсказки. Из 13 (+ бонус) предложенных Вами мест я был в 7. Обнаруживал их практически случайно (а на галерее Contarini del Bovolo рисовал виды города). Кроме того, нашёл ещё массу внезапных открытий. Венеция неисчерпаема.
Надеюсь, ещё в этой жизни снова там побываю и порисую. Когда-нибудь... После того, как моя безумная страна - Россия - прекратит войну в Украине (вернее, её заставят остановиться и уйти).
I hope so too❤
Great ideas for Venice! We are going this Summer. Do you have any recommendations for not so touristy towns on Lake Garda?
Lake Garda is a great destination, full of things to do, you can check them out here: shorturl.at/gpDJ9 we would suggest to choose your preferred town based on what activities you want to do: if you are based on the northeast side it's not that easy to go all the way to the southwest. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy ✌️
@@ItalybyItalians thank you for the reply! We want a sleepier place where we can sit and read at cafes, see beautiful but authentic Italian buildings and neighborhoods, and meet Italians (not just other tourists). Maybe Lake Orta would give us that feel more than Garda as Garda is so populated with tourists? Or is there a Lake Garda town that's sleepy?
@@michaelkirkpatrick9522 ah it sounds so nice ❤️ we found a nice article that briefly describes the most recommended places to sleep on Lake Garda: it's in Italian, but if you could google translate it in English you may find the information you're looking for 🤗 www.pimpmytrip.it/dove-dormire-lago-di-garda/#lombardia
We have arrived today in Venice, one nights transit, from Sirmione on Lake Garda. Absolutely stunning. Everywhere is spotless. Fabulous food in restaurants on the waters edge. We have previously been to Malcesine too. You will have a wonderful time. Cruising from tomorrow, then back to Venice for 3 nights, our first visit. Can’t wait.
@@michaelkirkpatrick9522 Lake Orta is mervoloso...tranquillo and very special publico ❣👋🏻💐 happy days
Great review i have been going for year s there is always something new to find just get lost!
Thanks, we are glad you liked it 😀 are you planning to go again any time soon?
Hi! Amazing video, thank you! One question, what is the name of that restaurant in cannaregio where you ate cicchetti?
Hi Eri, I don't remember as we didn't try just one - to have a true Cicchetti experience you need to go from place to place, eating something in each one.
Great video! Where is located the bacaro with cicchetti featured in the video? Grazie!
It's in the neighbourhood called Fondamenta Cannaregio, there are many Bacari one after the other.
Thanks, we have a Venice in Louisiana U.S.A. at the mouth of the Mississippi river ; but want to see the original 😎
sono stato a Venezia tante volte. Da quando avevo 8 anni,! Ci vado sempre quando torno in Italia.
Che bello! Di dove sei?
