Have you been to Venice? Want to go? Let us know in the comments!!

[@bedyaveillard5901]

vagabrothers I want to go .

[@michelapirelli]

I've been!

[@albedoria95]

I live here :D

[@chasingadeline]

vagabrothers hi guys was back in 1999 first time traveling to Europe...fun place lots of history..would love to be back with my family on day

[@Gabi-kz6pn]

I disagree with your impression. What is romantic in Venice? Swimming with a gondola in a dirty canal is not romantic. The prices are very high even in public toilet I spent 2 euros. It's too crowded and sellers want to push souvenirs by force. I don't recommend that place. I prefer Sevilla, Kraków or Vienna.

[@jacopobaccarin7623]

I'm Italian, I live just 1 hour away from Venice and I think you did really a great job with this video, you valorized so good the right aspects of the city and I just hope all the tourist can appreciate Venice as you guys do.

[@johnmanning7268]

Jacopo Baccarin looks like a cool place !

[@Hamza_Jutt]

which city bro😊

[@someboi425]

Did your area get flooded?

[@leogonzalez1918]

How is like to live in italy?

[@malvikabaru]

Best part about your videos is that you interweave history of the destination with sightseeing. Really like your vlogs always.

[@vagabrothers]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@martacastelli2958]

Hi, I am from Venice! Just wanted to say thank you for this vlog because it gives a realistic idea of what living in Venice really means and shows the beauty of the city. Such a peculiar place should be more respected by everyone!

[@andhicook8021]

Thank you for talking to the gondola man. I liked listening to his perspective and how much he loved what he was doing

[@vagabrothers]

Best part about traveling 🙏🏼

[@simonefranceschin5177]

of course he loves it... he makes toooooons of money

[@clarissasteier5951]

I really enjoyed the tone and pacing of this video! The quiet, low key moments were just so serene & delightful to watch.

[@vagabrothers]

It’s a low key quiet place when you’re off the main canal. Glad you enjoyed the video - hope you remember to share it with your travel buddies 🤙🏽

[@marleneengelbrecht7667]

My best friend is Italian , she lives in Castle Franco Veneto. I have been to Italy - to quite a few places including Venice when I was 17 and just recently went back to visit my friend, I had the proper Italian tour guide and my gondola driver is a pro in gondola racing (yes it’s a thing 😂).

[@ILOLnumber1]

When I travelled to Italy for the first time, I was on a budget, but designated Venice as my splurge destination. Totally worth it. Even though it is super touristy, you just can't deny how magical it is there. If you have the time, visiting the other islands is worth it. Murano for their world-famous glass blowing and Burano for their handmade lace and delicious cookies!

[@vagabrothers]

You summed it up perfectly - the magic is real!

[@turkanfeyzullayeva9720]

Venice is most beautiful city in the world ❤️! My advice is that when ever you need food just go to Mestre it is 15 mintues from piazzale Roma .You can eat tasty and cheap food or at least food with more reasonable price .

[@lemondrizzlecake7766]

This video is amazing. I never came across a Venice video that included the garbage disposal, ahahah!! As an Italian, I really appreciated how you pointed out that it's still a city with locals living there, and not just an open-air museum.

[@spriteli6188]

I love when you talk about the life of the locals. Gives a different view from a regular tourist

[@carlaspensieri292]

Thank you for creating a video about Venice and Carnevale that is relatable, and yet APPROPRIATE to show to my middle school students. They are going to be so inspired by your thoughtful video.

[@moonlightbae6456]

thank you so much for introducing the history of Italy I’ve always wanted to learn about this beautiful culture it fascinates me so much to want to keep learning! I’ve been trying to find a descent video that talks about Italy

[@vagabrothers]

Check out @alexthevagabond channel he has guides to Venice and Rome :)

[@brinaf2857]

This is so cool! I'm Italian, I've already been to Venice and I LOVE it! I never had the chance to be there during the Carnival though... it's definitely on my bucketlist. I loved to see it from the point of view of people coming from a whole different continent. Grazie! 💕

[@RichardParmelee]

Did a live aboard on a boat in Venice in May, 2017. Nothing like Venice. Very visual. After a few disappointing and over priced meals things got better by shopping at local markets and at the large supermarket near the bus station. Definitely get a vaperetto (water bus) pass. Cheap and a great way to cruise the canals. Thanks for another great video. The editing, content including historical info and overall production puts the Vagas in a class by themselves for a YT travel channel. Truly superb.

[@rhyacinthlevrini6577]

I spent three weeks in Venice, March 2014 (best month to visit). Might I suggest that for the same price you paid for the gondola ride you could take a 90 minute rowing instruction from RowVenice.com. It was the highlight of my visit. Try it the next time, this way you row as the gondolieri while Carrie admires and videos your prowess! You did produce a pleasant and informative video. Mille grazie !

[@nellennatea]

I love Venice. I went their with my Mum Some years ago, My father had been stationed there in the British Army when the little island opposite the big old front steps, in old paintings, was the army barracks. He was there for two years and always wanted to go back. Wanted to live there or live in Italy. But he never got to go back, especially as he became disabled and could not but he loved it that we did and when we got there and stood opposite his old barracks we phoned him. & When got home he loved all the pictures and books we brought back for him. I loved your masks. Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing.

[@nellennatea]

16:18 There in the back ground. That might be the little island that was the barracks. I'd have to dig out the old photos. But it looks like it to me.

[@marcharsedecasa435]

I just saw this video and i love the way you edited. Especially the gondola scene with slow motion effect. Also the backsound is making the ambience more dramatic and romantic. It is a perfect combination. I was so moved by that scene. Great job 👍

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed our video style :)

[@Tyra94]

going to carnival in venice dressed up is actually a pro tip. Since everyone will make room for you. To not crush your dress or to get the chance to take your picture. Really helpful in a huge crowd ;) Only downside are some of the "professionals" in their costumes. They will pic a really photogenic spot and not move from it. Probably to get photographed and shown on social media as much as possible. But i think it can be quite rude and frustrating for other people wanting a picture with that backdrop. As soon as I have the photo i wanted or see that someone else is interested in the spot i`ll move on. And actually my grandma (83) got dressed up a bit last year at carnevale di venezia and declared she will wear my dress and wig at carnival in venice the year she turns 85. And trust me she will do so. (I guess i need to work/get another costume ... )

[@DavionWest]

Im headed to Venice this march for spring break! Im so excited and cant wait to make travel videos like yall :)

[@jessaviahopkins1771]

How was it?

[@DavionWest]

@@jessaviahopkins1771 it was amazing!! Like honestly breath taking, words don’t do Venice any justice!

[@CarrieRad]

This was such an incredible experience and you killed it with this vlog 👏🏽♥️

[@vagabrothers]

Thank you Carrie!

[@James-dx6sf]

Trouble?

[@arunvarghese007]

Carrie Rad you are so beautiful 😍

[@SpencerStanley]

Alex that cinematography is on point!

[@josegandara8547]

Really awsome! Exploring Southern Europe is such a mind-blowing experience. Good job Vagabros.! Galician living in Montevideo, Uruguay, and just enjoying your videos. Un abrazo grande from the River Plate.

[@vagabrothers]

Saludos! Yo vivía en Pontevedra un año!

[@carolynmcfarland2293]

I love Venice. My favorite memory was getting lost with our group of friends. One of the guys appointed himself as leader. He walked down a small alleyway and ended up on a dock on the Grand Canal. And like lemmings, we all had to walk out on the dock and look around.

[@GlowingAprilSky]

I've been there for couple of days of the carnival, it was my first solo trip and it was an incredible experience! This video is amazing :)

[@danielmoreno9935]

GlowingAprilSky how much money did you spend? In usd

[@migi2617]

GlowingAprilSky Where you est for the couple of days? I’m gonna do a solo trip there in Venice

[@happyhobo2217]

This video timing is perfect! I’m visiting Venice for the first time in two weeks! After watching this. I’m even more excited than I was was.

[@Flonnethefallengyal]

Ah!!! This is perfect!! I want to go to Venice with my boyfriend this summer as my graduation present! 😁😁😁

[@vision1707]

Good content I like little nugget of educational pieces of info such as how the trash is taken out , how the city was built ,etc. Keep up the good work.

[@vagabrothers]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you’re subscribed - much more on the way :)

[@deftoncubush]

Estuve en Venecia en el 2016; para ser sincero, no me agradó mucho. Pero ahora que veo este vídeo, me dan ganas de regresar ahora mismo!! Excellent video!

[@brendabarrera6252]

Great shots!!... LOVE LOVE LOVE this Venice vlog....and LOVE LOVE LOVE la bella Venezia!!😍.. Can't wait to revisit!!... Especially during Carnavale.. 🇮🇹🎭🚣

[@ElaineIan]

Wow, your content is amazing. Thanks for sharing! Why am I just coming across your channel now lol. Just subscribed!

[@1234321marty]

I was there couple years ago and I've got lost in the narrow streets, these were best moments in Venice :)

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Venice is such a unique place! You did such an awesome job giving us details that we may have never known.

[@juliennepoblete5237]

I love all your vlogs! They're my favorite travel guides to watch. Have you guys been to Florence? Heading to Rome 4/11-4/23 and trying to plan a few stops while were there. The Tuscany hot springs vlog is DEFINITELY on the list 🙌🏼

[@meghandunphy7350]

I'm so happy that I've discovered your channel! I'm just starting to travel now, and I appreciate the positive vibes you put out into the world, and your encouragement to others to get out and explore. Keep on doing what you're doing, you guys are awesome! Cheers!

[@emanuelneves89]

Some parts of the video got really scenic! Like that part (16:38), that costume in the sunset was great. Good job! I've been to Venice and I think it must be worth to wait and visit during Carnival. I don't think it is the top city to visit in Italy but it's plenty different from all others for the decorative objects, typical foods,... Food is expensive but we've found a pizza place called Farini, where you can easily get by with a filling slice of pizza and good coffee for around 5 euros.

[@GM8D79]

When is celebrated this Carnival in Italy? you mentioned that started back on 1162. In what month is celebrated? In Yucatan, Mexico we have something similar also called Carnaval in which began . on Thursday, February 28 and ends on Tuesday, March 5. Thanks for sharing. That is a beautiful video.

[@ellalarkin1016]

He said that Carnavale is just before Lent.

[@kellirustin7944]

Gorgeous video capturing what is unique about Venezia! Thanks for talking about what I found most fascinating about Venice, how people went about their daily work. I loved getting up early to see how the Venetians started their day. And who’s idea was it to put stairs on the bridges anyway??

[@bajlandia2025]

Oh wow ! Venice is very special place, maybe the most beautiful in the world :) who knows.. i'm in love with Venice ! I have been to Venice in 2015 in summertime and it was delicious day in which I will never forget, much sun, beautiful walks around, some but good shopping, many pics and the thought that I will come back there once again:) especially on Carnival worth !

[@LeoFtravels]

Venice is my next destination 👍 Oh, Just purchased my t shirt, can't wait to get it

[@vagabrothers]

You’re a legend!! 🙌🏼 Enjoy Venice!

[@momplaygroupfouz4946]

We’ve been it’s a gorgeous place and so unique. We loved it.. even with all the tourists it was an outdoor museum.

[@vagabrothers]

Definitely worth a visit!!

[@mmoddang]

My favorite city! Great job on the video! Sending love from Bangkok!!

[@Shaolin0871]

What I like about your videos is, I feel I’m there with you. All the more reason to see Venice now. Keep up the good work.

Cheers John!

Thank you Dolce & Gabbana 🙌🏼

[@sashabear6408]

So beautiful and very interesting!!! Hope I'll see this city soon!

[@johnmanning7268]

Really good video. Learnt a lot about Venice!

[@rstelford3532]

Great videos guys. I was a little underwhelmed by Venice myself...after hearing it's one of the nicest places on earth I was expecting big things. Worth seeing once in your life but I would not go back.

[@vagabrothers]

Guess it really depends on your personal experience- getting lost in the back canals and far flung corners of the islands is pretty cool but totally get the feeling of too much Tourism

[@rstelford3532]

vagabrothers for sure. I felt like the only thing unique was the canals. If you swapped them for roads you're left with a big old northern Italian city. I personally prefered the Lake Garda towns and cities like Verona and Bergamo during my visit. Also...can I just say you covered my home country of Northern Ireland immaculately in your vlogs a year or so back. It looked like you guys had a blast and your portrayal of the subtleties of what makes Northern Ireland a great place to be is appreciated!

[@kalebarancelovic]

If I have one tip when traveling to Venice, take a small deck chair to carry with you so you can sit down somewhere and take in your surroundings.

[@pinkbead1907]

Enjoyed the video. Venice so beautiful. 🤗

[@ADVENTURECAMPitelli]

great video! we just left Italy our second stop on our world travels. You made me miss it already :)

Congratulations! A fab video and really well-made. Made me feel like going back there again. Keep making these mate.

[@vagabrothers]

Cheers!!

[@russellhogben6628]

I stayed in Venice at the Hotel Luna, just off St Mark’s Square a long time ago before the hotel went massively up market. It was a magical week I’ll never forget.

[@vanessaoltean9564]

Oh waw when I was in Venice not long ago and went on a gondola ride I had the same gondolier! Such an amazing man this made me so happy seeing it, amazing vlog!

[@vagabrothers]

Hahah no way that is so cool! He was so nice, humble and knowledgeable:)

[@vikrantkulkarni1241]

Wow this is a one visually stunning and informative vlog.

[@MrSupernova111]

This is fascinating! Extremely well done job documenting your visit to Venice and sharing some important facts about the city.I love the slow captures of the city views. Stunning! EDIT: The costumes in that carnival were jaw dropping!

[@JJsJourney]

Oh, this video makes me want to go back to Venice!

[@vagabrothers]

Us too!!!

[@EmmaBrooks_gva]

Carrie was right about the gondola! And she looked so happy 😁

[@erikacalvert9481]

Stunning vlog!! Thank you! One of my very first travel experiences was a trip to Italy and I will never forget the overwhelming emotion I felt as I took a trip on the vaporetto down the grand canal. And you are right about letting yourself get lost on the tangled web of side streets!

[@serjFCB]

I'm going in june this year! I always wanted to go and finally I will.Great video blog man!

I was twice in Venice and is not worth it.

Such an incredible place. Was there last july for a few nights and completely agree about the side streets and canals. Going to italy again this july but only seeing lake como and milan

[@griffin2263]

love the sights of Venice it is like visiting other planet an amazing city... the down side the locals can be very rude! ! most hate the tourist (this from a person that we met that lived there) we got our credit card information stolen from a leather shop that sold handbags while there .... the hotel tried to scam us on the hotel tax which at the time was $2 each cash but tried to charge us $12 ...and the water taxi tried to charge us twice even though we had a receipt for the prepaid ride we told him to call the police we were not paying AGAIN ... they will yell and yell tell you ... you have to pay etc etc ... so keep your receipts ..check your credit card statements and know how much the cost or tax or charges are ...

[@Edgesofearth]

- I had no idea that it got this cold! Everyone is wearing thick clothing!

[@vagabrothers]

Definitely chilly! It’s right at the base of the Alps - so they get cold winter days
