This Is Venice

Venice Italy is pure magic. This is Venice and magic is what I tell everyone who asks me for travel advice.

Consider nearly 400 ancient bridges to cross, tall campaniles defining the city's skyline, stone walkways, 150 canals, 139 churches, a myriad of fascinating museums, St Mark's Square and Italian gelato that will satisfy your tastebuds as you meander your way through the timeless islands.

There are no cars in Venice. The roads are indeed the city's canals and if you want to be transported, your only choices are the iconic gondolas, private water taxis and public waterbus which is the vaporetto. If you're lucky, Venice will experience a mild Acqua Alta while you're in St. Mark's Square as there's nothing quite like it.

You might feel as if you're on a movie set as Venice doesn't seem real at first tho' the city is indeed a living breathing real place where people live and work. Be respectful as tensions toward tourists run a bit high these days.

CAMPANILE BELLS IN VENICE

Be prepared to think you're lost but also be prepared to throw away your map as a map will only frustrate you. Meander your way through the narrow alleys and simply be pleasantly surprised when you reach one of the public squares where you're sure to find shops and cafes.

Venice is splendid to discover. Take your time and take it all in. The city is pure sensory overload.
