This is the real Venice, forget the grand canal, forget the palazzi. The endlessly claustrophobic little alleys, the careworn buildings, the graffiti, this is is the real city.
Come on, this is a winter cloudy grey day. Venice has plenty of better light other days. Also the cheap camera that overblows the bright areas makes it look worse. I know Venice quite well and it is beautiful even in the worse day. What makes interesting for many the video is the eye fish perspective and lack of movement compensation that makes the subjective feeling you are walking with him. The video manage to give the impression Venice is dirty and that is far from true. He did a detour in purpose in order to walk in narrow areas, he could had follow the Strada Nova that is one of the main streets of Venice.

When I visited Venice I got lost and had no clue where I was. Then I found a tiny restaurant where I ate the best pizza of my life I a small street. I was not able to find the restaurant again
I think nowadays, you can just ask Google to "remember where I am", I just tried it and it worked for me. Or photograph the name at the end of the street. These are the things you think of later, in the "I wish I had..." category! When we were in Rome, Google remembered everywhere we'd been, even if we only waited outside somewhere for the pedestrian crossing.
Same here. We always try to find where the locals eat. I had a Calamari Potato Soufflé at a Pizza Shop that was amazing. Chef came out and explained his full recipe to me. Love Venice. Feel all the past souls. They are happy there.
I had a similar experience there, except it was on a hot day, walking around, I was so thirsty and tired. Well, they have working water fountains in some of the neighborhoods where people used to go for their water before the buildings had plumbing. And I filled up a bottle of the coldest, cleanest water I've ever tasted. It might have just been because I was hot and dehydrated though.
Been there this year, walked all the way from a parking on the outskirts of the city to Piazza San Marco, really a magical place but I feel really sorry for the locals who have to deal with all the obnoxious tourists everywhere during the summer...
@@edithnogueira7899 There are many kind of tourism, and not always they are profitable or welcomed ones. Many of the tourists come for a day trip, don't spend any money, are not interested in art and monuments, perhaps buy horrible stuff from Chinese shops convinced that it is a true Venetian souvenir and leave behind just garbage, dirt and confusion.
we have been in venice from schooltrip and guess what?. we were lost like about 1 and half hour we were just going in one same fucking circle all the time
i love how non italians describe it as „damp“ and „in need of repair“ that’s literally the city‘s charme. i adore venice with all my heart, the little alleys, buildings and the general feeling is just unmatched!
What do you mean, Marijuna? Europe is getting ready to legalize, everyone is. Thailand legalized medical research. They still behead people for it in some places for it. Got to stop.
True. I live between Venice and Milan; when I spend time in Venice, I lose weight from all the walking. Then when I stay in Milan for a bit I gain it back.
So true. I've studied in Venice for 5 years. I didn't do sports but I was fit because of all the walking and I didn't even realised it until I graduated and stopped going to Venice on a daily basis. Now I really notice the difference 😂
I used to live in the San Vio / Accademia area, until about 20 years ago there was groceries all around; now NOTHING every food shop has been replaced by tourists shops selling glass, masks and other assorted tourist things. I would not like to be one of the people who live there... they have to walk a lot to buy some food. A big "thank you" to all previous city mayors who did nothing to prevent that from happening. They could at least have passed a local law/initiative to subsidize grocery shops; not many of them, only one would have been enough.
Actually there is a huge supermarket very close from where he started and there are many grocery shops in the area. This video is a fake. Anyway, I agree about the fact that the mayors, including the actual one, should make illegal for Chineses to open their horrible shops all over Venice.
20 years ago there where in Venice only two supermarket and a lot of groceries. At this time, I live in Venice, there are a lot of supermarket open in all over the city (Coop is the most popular), one oh this is opened in an ancient theatre (Teatro Italia) and is like a monument, very beautiful. You can buy bread and pizza and cakes by Rizzo, in Rialto you can buy all the vegetaibles and fruits you want and all the fish you want. For the meat I don't know because I don't eat meat. The City Hall want to attract young to live in Venice with flats low cost. When I was young Venice was a city for old people, nowadays you can find whatever you want.
so cool...txs !!!!.... at 2:38 into vid ...back in 1985.... I was 21 yrs old an visited Venice an had my picture takin in front of that church,.....thanks for the memory 1FM Lake George, NY...USA
I have the luck of living at half an hour train or car distance from Venice and I've been there probably several hundreds of times in my life, for work or leisure or study or to visit an exhibition etc. . I even lived there for days when my daughter resided there. I can assure you that each time I've been there, with any weather, light, time of the day or season, the town is different each time and there is always something to discover, to wonder at and to be enchanted by. The works of art, churches, buildings, sights, smells, hidden corners, secret places are so many, that a lifetime wouldn't be enough to discover. Its history, culture, tradition is so exceptional that there isn't literally a place in the world like it. Every time some friends or guests come from abroad and I take them there for a visit, they are left speechless. If you've never been there, I would suggest to try and go, at least once in your lifetime, to experience its uniqueness. I'm very sad at reading the thoughtless comments written by people who don't really know what they are talking about. As I have already said in a comment, this video has been made on purpose in order to show the worst and under the worst light, perhaps dictated by a negative attitude of the person who made it. Of course in Venice, like in every other places in the world, there are old, dilapidated buildings, parts that are not cared for or restaured. But that is certainly NOT ENOUGH to judge the whole! To restore a house in Venice you need a huge amount of money, more than everywhere else, because of the particular characteristics of the place and sadly many true, many generaions old Venetians are going to leave on the mainland because of the skyrocking prices of houses or maintenance. This is very sad. Not to mention some silly person who wrote that all Italian cities look like the third world!! I wonder where this person has been and what he saw! More than half of the art treasures of the world are in Italy and most of it is well kept and cared for. So, please, don't base your impression of Venice on this ugly video. It's deceiving and tries to distort the truth about the city. Anyway, he had no need to walk all that long and to go that way to find a supermarket from the place where he lived. I can tell you. He just took his time to find the worst places to show on camera. I'm happy he's not in Italy anymore.
In the video i found Venice truly beautiful..and i understand it is even more beautiful in your comment. Wish i could go visit Venice someday so i can see all the beauty.😊
What's with this awful comment? It's not an ugly video. I still find the cities in europe are mesmerising and i glad i found this video. It only shows that venice actually not quite different with other cities. It reminds me of my walking routine to a grocery stores in my own city, even though we are thousand of kilometres apart and have completely different cultures
I found this video to be very nice and I I I I loved seeing the doors, walls, windows and steps. They look beautiful to me and quite different than most of our cities that all look the same here in the states. I hope to visit one day and stay in one of the beautiful homes.
I enjoyed watching from the strange place you leave then walking through narrow streets going to supermarket. I wonder how are those houses looks like inside. Thanks for your time in sharing this nice Venice video.
Right on. That entire city is a museum. I took a class on the history of Venice and going there just changes your life. Everyone puts up St Marks or whatever but I like the everyday alleyways and bridges and little nooks that make the city. Thank you!
That's true. I lived in London for a short of time. I walked everywhere. Had a really small fridge, common in apartments, so couldn't load up with groceries. I would walk to the grocery store just like this guy. I always had to watch my weight when in the states. This was the first time in my life that I lost weight without even trying. I thought something was wrong with me. Lol!
Marina Holmes in Venice there are a lot of cats...it’s true that’s not a lot of green but there are some angles of this city that are stunning, rich of flowers and trees.
@@Lucia1502l I've often thought about where we are born. We can be very spoilt without realizing it. I'm amazed at micro units/houses etc. It made me truly appreciate my little home. There is beauty in so many different forms of housing. ☺
I mean i grew up with the same stuff, middle of no where by tons of everything you said.. But Venice looks so beautiful. Such a backhanded comment to the point where its sad.
Depending on how many years ago she meant, it was beautiful about 20 years and before. You wouldn't see that level of filth and graffiti like that back then. There would be little cafes and shops along the little alleys, kept clean and nice. No more, the same thing happpend to most eruo cities after mass immigration in the 90s, now the main shopping areas are a tacky ugly mess of homeless, criminals and cheap shops. In Switzerland they do not stand for this, niether do they in Poland, both nice clean places, restricted and protected so this won't happen. The state of Vermont in the US is heavily protected from over developement. The world does not need more cheap bags and junk, and the rich donr need million dollar plus bags either.. the entire world needs a reset, a morotorium on trade and goods for a few years so the world can come up woith a new plan. if only..
@@biancadurso3400 Pay attention. She cried because it was beautiful. I've only been there a few times and saw the tourist side and the real neighborhoods, in all its gritty glory. There's no place in the world like Venice and that uniqueness is its greatest quality. If you live there, move. If you visited there, don't go back. They certainly don't want people there that are as bleak as you are.
@@biancadurso3400 Venice is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. I would go back there in a heartbeat. You see crumbling plaster and crowded streets, but your looking past the art, architecture and history of a an incredible place.
When i was in Venice in 2014, every time i ventured out from my Air b n b i would be lost! The only way I could find my way back was to ask where Hospitale was and once i found it, i knew the way back! Sometimes it took walking completely across the island to get there when i could have been 10 minutes away but i was always lost! When the movie Gracie de Monaco came out in Italy, i was at its premiere in Venice! If i would have had gps on my phone, i think i could have gotten around much better! Beautiful city. Was treated like Royalty on Murano by the top glass person on the island, Christina, who helped me discover the maker of my 4’6” tall all glass bird tree, Igor Balbi....great memories for sure.
wow , you must go with GPS, I went there and I remember walking a lot all the time . It is very beautiful but sometimes a little sad, there are very lonely and abandoned places
This is why I love UA-cam. You see things you’d never see in a professional travelogue. I never really thought of how difficult it would be to go grocery shopping in Venice. Now I know.
You live over by the casino. I have spent about three years on and off living in Venice on the island of Giudecca. Going back for three months at the end of April this year.
be dai il video era da fare un po carino.. se faceva 2 metri che senso aveva, un po come fare tutto il video inquadrandosi solo i piedi e lasciare questo titolo e mignatura XD
Wow, cool! Thank you for the very interesting visit! I have always wanted to see how Venice was beside the really well known places that are always shown in articles about Venice.
Loving the comments from tourists. You've been there probably 2 days and think you know or can judge this place, you're dumb. Venezia is beautiful, i'm an American living in Venezia since 2001, moved here from Beverly Hills, California. Walking here at night, close to the canal, the soft lights, it's priceless! I love this city! The guy is living in a pretty crappy apartment, but that's his choice i guess or what he can afford.
@@bradthompsonuk2011 good question. If you know Italy, talking about Amalfi coast, well that's Campania region, one of the most corrupted and dangerous regions of Italy. Napoli is nice for a pizza sure, but i wouldn;t want to find myself sick in a hospital there, no thanks. Toscana is nice indeed, i don't have a reson for that, Roma is amazing, yet way too crazy, too much traffic, too many people. Venezia is tiny and i love the canals and getting a coffee in Piazza San Marco early morning while tourists are sleeping. Veneto is stunning as well, but you know, the more south you go, the worse it gets (talking about burocracy, healthcare), not food or beaches.
Loved this walk through Venice. I went there once with my parents. My dad and I wandered around and found a laundromat there and it felt like heaven in the middle of a two week trip... I know...tourist eh.
He's not taking shortcuts, he's doing the opposite. If you pull up Google Maps he actually had to just walk a straight line along a major street but he went into unnecessary alleys and then came back to the main street multiple times
Actually, It's a lot safer at night because all the obnoxious and disrespectful tourists are gone . The best part? you can enjoy a nice cup of wine in public... on the streets!!
Ty úzké uličky působí dost děsivě ve dne,natož v noci...jsou ale krásné,tajemné a kouzelné...děkuji za krátkou prohlídku,kterou jsem takto absolvovala v posteli v Česku😀(Czech republic) 👌👍💗
Vi invito ad andare a fare la spesa alla Despar nel Teatro Italia. Un supermercato all'interno di un teatro ristrutturato....una vera chicca che solo a Venezia poteva esserci.DA VEDERE !!!! Cannaregio 1943, calle de le Pignate, Venezia
Aaaa me encantó!! 😱 amo ese paisaje.. cuanta historia en cada ladrillo, piedra y granito de arena.. Ojalá algún día pueda tomar unos mates por esos caminos de la bellísima Venecia ❤️😍
I've been to Venice with my sisters and we loved it there! Camera doesn't do it justice. We felt as if we were in a fairy tale. It was pretty cold when we were there, off season. Going from Rome to Venice was a huge difference, aesthetically as well as in euros. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Actually people were saying he did not go straight to where he needed to go. .. they were saying he took the long way.. and avoided the main street which would have gotten him there more quickly and directly
This. This is the stuff I like. I been to Venice once and it was the whole touristy thing. Which was amazing upon itself. But this is...this feels REAL. Love it.
Hi there, good to see your insight into a place we love. We also film gopro walk through's, so it's great to see someone else's eye view. We really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it, we've subscribed and look forward to seeing more.
People have been complaining about Venice since the 1600s -- about the prostitutes, gambling, general crime levels, and the hordes of other tourists! This city reached it's heyday centuries ago -- all the complaints about the tourists "ruining" it begs the question -- who are they ruining it for? Other tourists?
emma ess Venice’s population has plummeted over the last 30 years. All retail and dining outlets are being purchased by multi-national corporations, all of the buildings being converted to hotels. Without locals, it’s nothing more than a theme park. It’s the death of the city’s culture that people are concerned about.
Thanks for the walk. Venice's narrow walkways are quaint and beautiful aaw the history. Please make more vid around Venice. If I could live in Italy instead of the U.S....
Thank you for posting this video. We were in Venice last year and I managed to find 3 supermarkets. We're back there next week and this one looks bigger, with more fruit and veg. I will be paying a visit or two.
I'll be in Venecia by January. Smelling the cooking, tripping over the cobblestones and getting lost would part of the adventure. Can't wait to see Venice!!!!
Wow,I felt like I was there one walking! I visited Venice for 3 hours and at night.Not bad and took so many photos! net time,will be during the day,lol!
I did my Erasmus program in Venice and you walked trough the exact same streets and went to the same supermarket I used to go :) it’s been so long! I miss it every day!
Cant believe this simple video is blowing up like this, check out this new channel, more venice and italy :) ua-cam.com/channels/wK9yUrP9KmBR9A-SUVJ-TA.html
I wish it were viral, but in fact it's probably shadow-amping, the reverse of shadow-banning. Instead of allowing the people and the algos to decide what's popular, the employees at the web site decide what's hot and what's not directly.
There are pretty much only 3 kinda big parks in Venice. Other than those there are a few small green areas here and there for kids to play with and some bigger streets have some trees contained within square patches of grass.
As a tourist, you could wander for days.... and occasionally run into a smaller canal dead-end that branches off the Grand. Almost every corner has at least one of three arrows pointing in the directions of the main train station, Rialto bridge or Piazza San Marco. You might backtrack now and then, but you're never totally lost. I love and miss Venezia, Mestre, Jesolo and the entire NE area of Italia.
Thank you for sharing your REAL city, rather than the tourist version. It's beautiful! You can just imagine what it was like walking these same alleyways 500 years ago. I would love to live somewhere that I could walk everywhere I go, but American cities are not that convenient. And for those worrying about heavy shopping bags, you just don't buy a lot at one time. How lovely to buy the food I'm going to cook that day. 😊
Invece di fare mille giri dietro la Maddalena, sarebbe stato sufficiente continuare su Terà de la Maddalena e poi per Strada Nova. Ci avresti messo metà tempo.
Ma non sarebbe riuscito a far vedere al mondo le parti peggiori di Venezia. Che brutto video e anche ingannevole. Grazie a dio questo tizio se n'è andato!
Relatively new problem again. The city had done a pretty good job of cleaning most of it off. Should be a requirement to flash an ID to buy spray paint!
I got lost after the first couple of turns..this city is both beautiful and bleh at the same time, just like my neighborhood..thanks for sharing! would have liked to see you walk back and what you bought ♥️🍾
I spent two weeks in an apartment in Cannaregio near San Giobbe in Dec 2016/Jan 2017 and this was one of the five supermarkets I shopped at. The others were the two near the Rialto Bridge, the one near Piazza Roma and the one a few minutes walk over the Scalzi Bridge in Santa Croce (or maybe it is just in San Polo) . Going with a small shopping trolley by vaporetto to the one near Piazza Roma made me really feel like a local.
Thank you for the walk-around. And you end up at my favorite market! I haven't seen it in a while, but it's always on my list when visiting the city. A lot easier to find from San Marco!
you took the longer way, you could have climb a building and go there by rooftops.

But the fun part is walking all the way back carrying heavy grocery bags!! 😂😂😂
Get a grocery basket. I have one.
More than likely, this is a daily routine as not much storage for food. Buy fresh daily & nice walk. No problem.

Marina Holmes in Venice there are a lot of cats...it’s true that’s not a lot of green but there are some angles of this city that are stunning, rich of flowers and trees.

I've often thought about where we are born. We can be very spoilt without realizing it. I'm amazed at micro units/houses etc. It made me truly appreciate my little home.
There is beauty in so many different forms of housing. ☺
It’s ok we don’t want you there either
I mean i grew up with the same stuff, middle of no where by tons of everything you said.. But Venice looks so beautiful. Such a backhanded comment to the point where its sad.
I was there many years ago. I cried everywhere I went. So beautiful!
grace lopardo you cried because it looks sad snd grey? It’s a horrible place
Depending on how many years ago she meant, it was beautiful about 20 years and before. You wouldn't see that level of filth and graffiti like that back then. There would be little cafes and shops along the little alleys, kept clean and nice. No more, the same thing happpend to most eruo cities after mass immigration in the 90s, now the main shopping areas are a tacky ugly mess of homeless, criminals and cheap shops. In Switzerland they do not stand for this, niether do they in Poland, both nice clean places, restricted and protected so this won't happen. The state of Vermont in the US is heavily protected from over developement. The world does not need more cheap bags and junk, and the rich donr need million dollar plus bags either.. the entire world needs a reset, a morotorium on trade and goods for a few years so the world can come up woith a new plan. if only..
@@biancadurso3400 Pay attention. She cried because it was beautiful. I've only been there a few times and saw the tourist side and the real neighborhoods, in all its gritty glory. There's no place in the world like Venice and that uniqueness is its greatest quality. If you live there, move. If you visited there, don't go back. They certainly don't want people there that are as bleak as you are.
💦
@@biancadurso3400 Venice is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. I would go back there in a heartbeat. You see crumbling plaster and crowded streets, but your looking past the art, architecture and history of a an incredible place.
When i was in Venice in 2014, every time i ventured out from my Air b n b i would be lost! The only way I could find my way back was to ask where Hospitale was and once i found it, i knew the way back! Sometimes it took walking completely across the island to get there when i could have been 10 minutes away but i was always lost! When the movie Gracie de Monaco came out in Italy, i was at its premiere in Venice! If i would have had gps on my phone, i think i could have gotten around much better! Beautiful city. Was treated like Royalty on Murano by the top glass person on the island, Christina, who helped me discover the maker of my 4’6” tall all glass bird tree, Igor Balbi....great memories for sure.
wow , you must go with GPS, I went there and I remember walking a lot all the time . It is very beautiful but sometimes a little sad, there are very lonely and abandoned places
ClaudiaKirov I’ll become like Goldilocks and the three bears and live in one of the abandon buildings lol
Haunted...
I was there a few years ago. So beautiful and amazing, like being in another world as it totally different from the place I belong.
ClaudiaKirov I can’t believe abandoned places exist there. Why is that?
I fucking hate tourists
That's why I lost 13 lbs. In two weeks in Italy. 🚶🏃🚶 Best diet ever!
Interesting! Thanks for the perspective of a local.
This is why I love UA-cam. You see things you’d never see in a professional travelogue. I never really thought of how difficult it would be to go grocery shopping in Venice. Now I know.
You must use GPS. This is the Venice that I would like to see. No Grand Canal. Not a bunch of tourists. Just everyday life.
GPS doesn't work great in Venice. You can follow a map but don't trust GPS to be able to pinpoint where you are located because it'll fail.
wow! what a trip.. quite a maze! thx for sharing
this is so dope i would love to live there
Thank you for the walk with us. It’s unique and very beautiful. Dreaming someday live in Italy for a while❤️
Thanks for the virtual tour. Really appreciate it.😀💕
Beautiful charming old city, I really enjoyed this, thanks!
I think that the supermarket is located no longer than 50 meters from the starting point... In a straight line obviously. Nice walk anyway.
nice building and architecture its old but theres a lot of beautiful stories behind all this old walls😊🥰👍 have a happy weekend
Ah, beautiful old city. Living in history. Great food!
I visited Venice Italy in April of 2011. It was beautiful and so much fun. I just wish I could've stayed for a few months. 🙄
I like the distress walls...looks full of history! Nice vid. Venice seems serene and artful here
Visited Venice back in the 70s and enjoyed the charm and character of the city. A fun video to watch. Thank you! 🛶
You live over by the casino. I have spent about three years on and off living in Venice on the island of Giudecca. Going back for three months at the end of April this year.
How marvelous
io sto ancora chiedendomi come fai ad essere in strada nova e non andare alla coop che praticamente giri l'angolo, invece di fare il giro dell'asino.
be dai il video era da fare un po carino.. se faceva 2 metri che senso aveva, un po come fare tutto il video inquadrandosi solo i piedi e lasciare questo titolo e mignatura XD
@@alexsfamily4166 XD
Perché non è venesian :-)
Appunto! Perché voleva mostrare una Venezia brutta, sporca e cattiva. Video orribile e fatto in malafede.
I think it is beautiful.
Wow, cool! Thank you for the very interesting visit! I have always wanted to see how Venice was beside the really well known places that are always shown in articles about Venice.
I was there 30 years ago and I got lost, so many memories, thank you.
This is so great man. How long did/have you lived there and was it very expensive?
Loving the comments from tourists. You've been there probably 2 days and think you know or can judge this place, you're dumb. Venezia is beautiful, i'm an American living in Venezia since 2001, moved here from Beverly Hills, California. Walking here at night, close to the canal, the soft lights, it's priceless! I love this city! The guy is living in a pretty crappy apartment, but that's his choice i guess or what he can afford.
Stupid question from one who travels to Veneto often... but why did you choose Venice over Rome, Toscana, or say, the Amalfi coast?
@@bradthompsonuk2011 good question. If you know Italy, talking about Amalfi coast, well that's Campania region, one of the most corrupted and dangerous regions of Italy. Napoli is nice for a pizza sure, but i wouldn;t want to find myself sick in a hospital there, no thanks. Toscana is nice indeed, i don't have a reson for that, Roma is amazing, yet way too crazy, too much traffic, too many people. Venezia is tiny and i love the canals and getting a coffee in Piazza San Marco early morning while tourists are sleeping. Veneto is stunning as well, but you know, the more south you go, the worse it gets (talking about burocracy, healthcare), not food or beaches.
PBS NYC is airing their documentary of Visions of Italy tonight.
Typical comment from a non native.
@@tex6929 i know more than you about italy, pirla.
Amazing to see Venice from the perspective of a resident. I've always wondered what it's like behind those doors
Thanks for the video
Loved this walk through Venice. I went there once with my parents. My dad and I wandered around and found a laundromat there and it felt like heaven in the middle of a two week trip... I know...tourist eh.
Dude knows all the short cuts, could have gone on for miles, I was in a trance.😶
362chop so true!! Lol! Endless!
They were not shortcuts, just the opposite, wandering in zigzag. Going to the shop from his home is quite straight if he really wanted.
He's taking a long route to avoid crowds
He's not taking shortcuts, he's doing the opposite. If you pull up Google Maps he actually had to just walk a straight line along a major street but he went into unnecessary alleys and then came back to the main street multiple times
That's very cool how everything is connected with the alleyways but what about at night? Is it dangerous?
It's one of the safest cities in the world - as well as the most beautiful.
ahah when you escape? We' ve just wather street!
Can be,as everywhere-In old times they had knifes.I suppose in the farwest danger was much more.
@@pigrecopigreco6363 pull out your rinascimento era cinquedea for a little dangerous jewelry.
Actually, It's a lot safer at night because all the obnoxious and disrespectful tourists are gone . The best part? you can enjoy a nice cup of wine in public... on the streets!!
This is awesome, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to go to Venice!
Ty úzké uličky působí dost děsivě ve dne,natož v noci...jsou ale krásné,tajemné a kouzelné...děkuji za krátkou prohlídku,kterou jsem takto absolvovala v posteli v Česku😀(Czech republic) 👌👍💗
Whats their delivery fee?
Vi invito ad andare a fare la spesa alla Despar nel Teatro Italia.
Un supermercato all'interno di un teatro ristrutturato....una vera chicca che solo a Venezia poteva esserci.DA VEDERE !!!!
Cannaregio 1943, calle de le Pignate, Venezia
MARIAPAOLA Zanguio ghe so sta.. Gninte de speciae.
Infatti son rimasto deluso dal veder che entrava alla Conad con quel merdoso controsoffitto
Che fra l'altro è anche più vicino alla casa di sto qua
Aaaa me encantó!! 😱 amo ese paisaje.. cuanta historia en cada ladrillo, piedra y granito de arena.. Ojalá algún día pueda tomar unos mates por esos caminos de la bellísima Venecia ❤️😍
I've been to Venice with my sisters and we loved it there! Camera doesn't do it justice. We felt as if we were in a fairy tale. It was pretty cold when we were there, off season. Going from Rome to Venice was a huge difference, aesthetically as well as in euros. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
How do you not get lost?
Love your video. More please
Google maps
Joanna Rees-Jones you see humans have this little thing called
*memory*
nice one mate !
There’s something so beautiful to me about places that are run-down and abandoned looking like this. Sad, but beautiful.
Legal passear por estas vielas, uma experiência bem distinta quando comparamos com os passeios em cidades brasileiras.
best Venice vid on UA-cam,,, no messing about straight to where yer need t get :) ( in a going round a maze of alleyways kinda way )
Actually people were saying he did not go straight to where he needed to go. .. they were saying he took the long way.. and avoided the main street which would have gotten him there more quickly and directly
OMG, I love Venice so much ; it is a dream !
This. This is the stuff I like. I been to Venice once and it was the whole touristy thing. Which was amazing upon itself. But this is...this feels REAL. Love it.
Hi there, good to see your insight into a place we love. We also film gopro walk through's, so it's great to see someone else's eye view. We really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing it, we've subscribed and look forward to seeing more.
People have been complaining about Venice since the 1600s -- about the prostitutes, gambling, general crime levels, and the hordes of other tourists! This city reached it's heyday centuries ago -- all the complaints about the tourists "ruining" it begs the question -- who are they ruining it for? Other tourists?
emma ess Venice’s population has plummeted over the last 30 years. All retail and dining outlets are being purchased by multi-national corporations, all of the buildings being converted to hotels. Without locals, it’s nothing more than a theme park. It’s the death of the city’s culture that people are concerned about.
Wow you are one kind off an ignorant bitch. They are ruining it for the people ACTUALLY LIVING THERE.
Thanks for the walk. Venice's narrow walkways are quaint and beautiful aaw the history. Please make more vid around Venice. If I could live in Italy instead of the U.S....
Thank you for posting this video. We were in Venice last year and I managed to find 3 supermarkets. We're back there next week and this one looks bigger, with more fruit and veg. I will be paying a visit or two.
captivating video. this is why the world needs youtube. thanks for sharing
My goodness, I hope she can find her way back.
Yeah so lost
Venice is beautiful.
I love that place.. its so COOL.. i v always wanted to go THERE.. one day..
As soon as the door opens to go outside, I just saw beauty. Such a cute town.
no car humm. all walking like in 1 big maze.
MEthat LovesCats swim hun, swim
No cars, no trucks, no bicycles ... only the occasional baby carriage. Heaven!
I'll be in Venecia by January. Smelling the cooking, tripping over the cobblestones and getting lost would part of the adventure. Can't wait to see Venice!!!!
did it live up to your expectations?
Wow!! Beautiful Venice! You are very lucky to live there!
Wow,I felt like I was there one walking! I visited Venice for 3 hours and at night.Not bad and took so many photos! net time,will be during the day,lol!
Thsi is the real venice
I did my Erasmus program in Venice and you walked trough the exact same streets and went to the same supermarket I used to go :) it’s been so long! I miss it every day!
Loved this. Thankyou. What was the temperature that day, approximate.
Really Awesome! felt like I was making that trip to the market with you.
Cant believe this simple video is blowing up like this, check out this new channel, more venice and italy :) ua-cam.com/channels/wK9yUrP9KmBR9A-SUVJ-TA.html
I wish it were viral, but in fact it's probably shadow-amping, the reverse of shadow-banning. Instead of allowing the people and the algos to decide what's popular, the employees at the web site decide what's hot and what's not directly.
Looks amazing but how far do you have to go to find a tree or plant?
There are pretty much only 3 kinda big parks in Venice. Other than those there are a few small green areas here and there for kids to play with and some bigger streets have some trees contained within square patches of grass.
As a tourist, you could wander for days.... and occasionally run into a smaller canal dead-end that branches off the Grand. Almost every corner has at least one of three arrows pointing in the directions of the main train station, Rialto bridge or Piazza San Marco. You might backtrack now and then, but you're never totally lost. I love and miss Venezia, Mestre, Jesolo and the entire NE area of Italia.
Thank you for sharing your REAL city, rather than the tourist version. It's beautiful! You can just imagine what it was like walking these same alleyways 500 years ago. I would love to live somewhere that I could walk everywhere I go, but American cities are not that convenient. And for those worrying about heavy shopping bags, you just don't buy a lot at one time. How lovely to buy the food I'm going to cook that day. 😊
Invece di fare mille giri dietro la Maddalena, sarebbe stato sufficiente continuare su Terà de la Maddalena e poi per Strada Nova. Ci avresti messo metà tempo.
Ma non sarebbe riuscito a far vedere al mondo le parti peggiori di Venezia. Che brutto video e anche ingannevole. Grazie a dio questo tizio se n'è andato!
@@franescadiano vai a rompere altrove...perche' scassare le scatole se non ti piace cambia...video cambia aria!
Ma doveva far vedere i graffiti lui, altrimenti non era contento
Ha fatto un giro della Madonna.
Se andava da Lando, in romea.
Ci metteva meno tempo 🤣🤣
Ha voluto far credere che per andare al market lui dovesse necessariamente fare tutta quella strada ogni volta. Idiota.
Wow... the amount of graffiti in Venice is quite shocking...
Pffff come to mainland Greece lol.
Relatively new problem again. The city had done a pretty good job of cleaning most of it off. Should be a requirement to flash an ID to buy spray paint!
This fuckers should sit 10 years in jail.
Went on hoilday to Venice loved it kept getting lost 😂the old building are amazing 💖
Beautiful alleyways and quaint shops . And no garbage on the ground.😊quite a long walk back with groceries though. I have mine delivered. 👍
aw who else wanted to watch them walk back :(
I'm winded and tired. lovin the views though.
Winded and tired by a 6 minute walk...?
I got lost after the first couple of turns..this city is both beautiful and bleh at the same time, just like my neighborhood..thanks for sharing! would have liked to see you walk back and what you bought ♥️🍾
I spent two weeks in an apartment in Cannaregio near San Giobbe in Dec 2016/Jan 2017 and this was one of the five supermarkets I shopped at. The others were the two near the Rialto Bridge, the one near Piazza Roma and the one a few minutes walk over the Scalzi Bridge in Santa Croce (or maybe it is just in San Polo) . Going with a small shopping trolley by vaporetto to the one near Piazza Roma made me really feel like a local.

La città che amo di più dopo la mia
Thank you for the walk-around. And you end up at my favorite market! I haven't seen it in a while, but it's always on my list when visiting the city. A lot easier to find from San Marco!
Co-Op supermarkets - 3 of them on the way from San Marco to the train station.
I would stop every little bridge to take a Photo 🤭😂 só beautiful and magical. I love that place and some day i Will bê there
Long way just for a pint of milk.!
It seems like a long way but he only really walked for 5 minutes
Wolf Lupus it was just 5 mins...
I live in Venice
Is it good?
Used this supermarket when staying in Venice last year
you make me feel relax after watching narrow clean alley's this is real venice 👌👌❤
