Venice is very different from anything you've ever seen, being one of the places you can't miss!
The city has rivers and canals, being located in a car-free city.
It has several bridges and narrow streets, which give the place a whole charm.
The main means of transport are vaporettos, boats that act as buses, they help you get where you want, whether at your hotel or on your way to the airport, for example.
They transit through the Rialto Point and the canals, crossing all of Venice.
Although the city is quite large, the tourist area is quite small, so you need to stay close to the tourist attractions.
One of the best places to stay is San Marco, as it is located in the center of Venice, in this same sestiere is St. Mark's Square, the Basilica and the Belfry.
Now that you know where to stay, let's find the best tours and places to visit!
gondola ride
It is quite common to see these boat trips in movies, but it is even better to live this moment.
The tour lasts an average of 40 minutes and crosses the entire city.
I suggest that you schedule this tour for your first day, as it allows you to see the main tourist attractions.
You can either pay for the tour on site or buy it online, which is the most economical option.
Rialto Point
This bridge was built to cross the grand canal of Venice, a river that has the shape of the letter S, dividing the city into two parts.
This bridge was the first created to connect the two sides of Venice.
The place is full of restaurants and shops, however, being in a tourist center of Venice, it does not have such attractive prices.
To find better prices I suggest walking two more blocks.
bridge of sighs
On this bridge is the palazzo ducale, building where the former prison of Venice operated.
The bridge received this name because it was the last moment of freedom for the prisoners, who sighed on the bridge, before spending years cloistered in prison.
There is nothing exuberant about the bridge, however, its history is worth a photo on the spot.
Usually the gondola already passes by, so just enjoy the moment.
Piazza San Marco
Where is located the square of San Marco, this being the main tourist point of Venice, being a rectangular square that measures 70 meters wide by 180 meters long, with numerous beautiful buildings.
The square is surrounded by restaurants that provide you with a good coffee, in addition to being able to have lunch and dinner on site.
There you will also find the famous clock tower, which was inaugurated on the first day of February 1499.
You can visit the tower at two times, at 12:00 or 16:00, with only 12 people allowed to enter at a time.
Conclusion
Always remember that the first step before any trip is to prepare in advance.
