    Thank you. As a Venetian, I appreciate your comments. Venezia is a unique gem. I am very proud of my heritage; I wish more people would learn the history of the Serenissima which lasted longer than the Roman empire.

      You are absolutely correct- there is no other city on earth quite like it! I first visited in 1987, and fell crazy in love with the place! I have since visited 18 times, mostly in December, and it is magical in winter! The book that transports me is Venice (by Jan Morris) . Venice has changed drastically since 1987, it had become emptied of Venetians😢. I now go to Chioggia, which has the charm of a living breathing “baby Venice “! But I will return inn14 months, in December again! The city feels much more real and welcoming then.

      It would be difficult, if you're in a wheelchair, but not impossible. Still, there's the entire rest of Italy you can go and see. Go to Rome, go to Florence, et al. Then there's the rest of Europe. Berlin is the coolest place there IMO. You ask people around Europe if there's any place you should really go see and most will invariably tell you, 'Berlin'.

Kudos to you for the accurate and heartfelt review of the Venetian lifestyle and common misconceptions!

    I know Venice very well having studied there and it's an amazing place, particularly when you avoid the obvious tourist 'hot-spots'. My favourite is sitting in Campo S. Margherita or Fondamenta dei Ormesini. Your videos have cost me alot of money, not on watches, but when I see your videos walking around Venice it usually leads me to booking a trip..... I do my best not to be 'one of those tourists'

    Great video, and all really truthful insight. Spent one night there a few weeks back and loved checking out the city with my fiancé (until a bad case of food poisoning struck). They really aren’t joking when everything is on the water, including the ambulances…..
    Also felt very safe walking to the hospital in the wee hours of the night, albeit a little eerie. Would definitely recommend a visit, even if just for a day.

    Everything you said was absolutely spot on, I suggested we didn’t wear our Rolex’s and I don’t know why, felt safer here than any place in the uk.
    You were right about the seagulls, watched them terrorise a woman with an ice cream.😬
    We stayed at Hotel Moresco, first class,best place to eat,Al Grill.

Never been in another city in Europe where just ignoring the modern clothes brought me so much a few centuries back.

    • @lecutter9382
      @lecutter9382 9 місяців тому +1

      Well, there's a difference. There's tourists, and then there's travelers. Tourists are the hordes of mongrels who come in off the cruise ships, walk around for a few hours, don't really spend any money, and leave a mess. A traveler spends time in a place getting to know it and see its gems. They contribute to the economy and they treat the place with the same respect they would where they live. Venice doesn't need the tourists. And the cruise ships are destroying the lagoons.

    We missed you Oisin last week, we got there late due to our flight and it took us a while to figure out the water buses and the water taxis .
    our Hotel was the San Sta stop which was on the other side .
    Lugging 3 suitcases up and down the bridges and maneuvering the area was like a labyrinth.
    Venice was fine for the short time we were there but I had a major problem with my carrier from Greece Vodafone and I didn’t have any signal until I called customer support .
    Our hotel was good and looked to be at least 18th century .
    Oisin is right on when he said it’s clean .
    They have green boats that are trash boats that have a device that they get the trash and takes the trash to a location by the parking garages to have them taken away .
    Our short stay in Venice was still great even though we couldn’t communicate .
    I have your bottle of the good stuff Oisin .
    Message me so we can get it to you .
    All in all food was great and it just takes some time and being patient learning the water system and what stops to get off on .
    Piazza San Marco was just like Oisin’s photos and Videos .
    Amazing .
    Oh and yes the Hotels right there at Piazza San Marco will set you back quite a bit for Dinner .
    Take your time and check out the local places .
    Great Northern Italian fare .
    Great Venice review , we will be back next your again .
