You go to Venice expecting to be amazed by the canals and bridges. And you are. But then you get lost in the alley ways and you think for sure you've travelled centuries in time. The place is just mesmerizing.

[@ItalybyItalians]

I can only agree with you, it's exactly like that!

[@secondwind9337]

books and cats...... I love it already!

[@TaciturnusIneffabilis]

the first time I was in Venice it was off tourist season and besides the main attractions, the city was mostly empty. it was absolutely magical to walk at night through those empty narrow streets. at some point we reached a dead end and had to go back and so as we were leaving that corner we saw a girl in a beautiful long black dress just walk past us and after a few seconds disappearing into that dead end side alley. I was absolutely mesmerised.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Only Venice can give you such emotions, thanks for sharing Constantin ❤️

[@ItalybyItalians]

Are you planning on visiting Venice again? Is there something in the list you didn't have the chance to see?

[@yolandaratliff4710]

I have been to Venice several times while Dad was stationed with NATO years ago. But my favorite was Feb 2020. I went for the first time by myself. Got an airbnb, took a food tour, made friends on the tour, enjoyed Carnavale. But...Covid hit. Everyone scrambled out of the city. Though the reason for everyone's sudden departures was terrible, I stayed a few extra days. It was the most serene, magical and divine time I has ever spent there. The streets were quiet, the canals were quiet and you only heard Italian spoken. Only locals in that spectacular city. The most magical moments where it seemed that there were presences from the past around every corner. Looking forward to going back.

[@ItalybyItalians]

You're probably one of the few people who can say to have seen Venice without tourist, good for you!

[@tonyaugelli1839]

I have worked there for many years in Venice, and a beautiful city a magical city especially in winter when the fog falls over the city, it seems to be back in the year 1800 .. and it seems that suddenly some historical figure appears ... Which nation in the world has such beauty? or such fabulous architecture ... I have traveled around the world, I have lived in North America in Canada, but Italy is Italy ... Venice must be experienced .. in this video the island of Murano where they make glass sculptures is missing, the island of Burano and the island of Lido di Venice ... there is much more to see ..

[@ItalybyItalians]

We completely agree with you, Venice is magical. You are right, there are places missing in this video, but that's because we tried to focus only on the least known attractions, I hope that you liked our tips in general. Btw, your surname sounds Italian, am I right? 😉

[@borromine]

Very very fine video. Lots of interesting things. I happen to like Castello and even when there is almost no room to walk in San Marco there are tourists there. Plus the beautiful church supposedly by Palladio. Venezia without doubt the most beautiful city on this planet. And no cars, almost no bikes and the perfect separation of pedestrian and transport. In my view this is what makes Venezia so wonderful. Other cities have intact ancient buildings (Siena, Vicenza, etc etc) but water in the streets and the serenity of all pedestrian makes it the jewel of our solar system.

We are currently in Venice on holiday in DT Zaccaria. I couldn't be asked to do a whole circle around Venice to get to Murano do we walked to Celestia. It was really beautiful. TOP TIP for Navigation: Canals are very good because if you know roughly where you are then you can follow the canals and they all lead to the gran canal. Also in Lido the beach is partially private so keep Walking north

yes! don't stay on the island. avoid staying on the island at all costs. find a place that is on the mainland, near the station. everything is upstairs and carrying luggage is hard around the island. walk across the bridge to the island and enjoy the sites. navigating the water transport is tricky, you will see more walking. be a ware that what looks like a path to someone's door is actually a street. be careful where you eat, they have city taxes just to sit down. they have 2 menu's , one for the locals and one for the tourists. if you are going to eat a restaurant, do your home work on the establishment. it is not a case of if you will get ripped off, you will! it is a case of how much. if you follow this advise, you will enjoy the visit.

Treviso is a great spot near Venice with airport as well. You can find a great apartment like "palazzina trevigiana" or "chiarano home" near the train station and then go by to Venice easily because are only 25 minute of train. Treviso is a super cool city as well, so I think is the best way to visit 2 great city in one trip 🎉

My husband and I were in Venice on honeymoon in 1955..in August. I remember seeing an amazing, huge antique beaten gold screen behind the altar in St Mark's cathedral. It was studded with gems...large ones.. like emeralds, rubies, sapphires and a pearl almistcthe size of a bantam hen's egg! I am wondering if that is ever on display these days....or I'd the danger of theft is too great. Those gems were truly enormous.. and incredibly beautiful. Thank you for that non touristy tour.

Maybe a big trip to combine several places. I want to visit Sicily too. Too much to see in this world, especially when you live so far away from most of it!

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thanks for your comment Simon! We hope you can travel again to Europe and to Italy to see as many places as possible ❤️🇮🇹

Amazing video! Loved all the local tips. Quick question: what are other locations you can get the traghetto gondola other than the one at santa sofia? And are they all 2€? Thanks! Subscribed!

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thanks Michal, we are glad you liked it ✌️ The Gondola-Traghetto stops along all the "stazi" (piers) on the Grand Canal, which are: - Fondamenta S. Lucia - Stazione - San Marcuola - Fóndaco dei Turchi - San Samuele - Cà Rezzónico - Campo Santa Maria del Giglio - Salute - San Tomà - Santo Stefano - Rialto Mercato - Cà D'Oro (the one you see in our video) - Riva del Carbòn - Fondamente del Vin Each trip costs 2€. Don't hesitate to ask if you have other questions!

[@Goldberry2007]

I read somewhere that the gondola traghetto services are between 9am and 2pm only. Is this so?

Calle Varisco isn't the Narrowest street in Venice, Calle della Bessetta (near the station, santa croce side) is 10cm less and mabye more!!!!! Nice vid !!!!

You’ve listed some of the most touristics places possible!!!

I visited Venice twice but some of the places I didn't know existed. Here is reason for another third visit. Thanks for the idea. My next trip is to Tuscany. Do you have any suggestions on what I should not miss?

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hey Leonardo, thanks for your comment 🤗 you should definitely check out our video about Tuscany kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmK4YX6Zd9qHh9U as well as the videos we made about Pisa and Lucca if you are going to visit them ✌️ let us know your experience!

[@edsteadham4085]

Loved luca. Every night there is a 1 hour performance featuring music by Lucas native son Puccini. Not an opera fan but just loved it. Cost 20 euros. Worth twice that. Hearing opera in Italy just feels so right.

[@marenwilliams2787]

We stopped at a winery for a tour -“Tenuta la Velette”. It was amazing. The wines were fantastic & they show you the hand dug caverns under the house filled with wine niches!

Thank you so much for this video I know it’s three years ago but I’m just finding you on KZbin. It was really insightful. I saved it for any future times I come to Venice also on a crazy note I love jewelry. I think your necklace is stunning can you tell me how much about it? Thank you so much by the way my name is Lisa.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thank you so much Lisa! Actually I bought that necklace in Venice, it's made from Murano glass 😍 I don't remember the price but it was a good quality/price deal.

@@ItalybyItalians oh well thank you so much for replying quickly in today. Well I hope you’re having a great weekend. I was just watching a couple more of your videos I’m enjoying it I live here in Sacramento California and it’s starting to be winter so I’m just dreaming of being somewhere else. Enjoy your weekend. Thank you so much.

Churchies: San Sebastiano (with painting by Veronese), Gesuati, Gesuiti, San Salvador ("Annunciazione" by Tiziano, near Rialto Bridge), San Pantalon, San Nicolò dei Mendicoli, Madonna dell'orto, Miracoli, Scalzi (near the station), San Geremia, San Giacomo dell'orio, San Pietro di Castello, San Zulian. Very interesting, five minutes from Saint Mark, the school of San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, with masterpieces of Carpaccio. And obviously the most big churchies in Venice, Frari and San Giovanni e Paolo. And Ca' Rezzonico Santo Stefano. A lot of things to see. I love my Venice, anyway. My favorite place remains San Sebastian, after Zattere. But there are too beautiful Islands Like Sant'Erasmo (a sort of country in lagoon) and La Certosa. And food

[@ItalybyItalians]

Thanks for sharing your favorite places 😊

I wish I had found this a month ago when we were in Venice. What a very special city. I look forward to coming back and visiting these places...what time of year was this filmed?

Wonderful video.Thanks for sharing Lots of great tips. We are going to Venice in 2 weeks for 3 days. Can`t wait. We were told to go to the area Dorsoduro to eat. The locals should be there We were told?

[@niels-bjarkebonne4354]

We are staying 3 whole days.

[@ItalybyItalians]

Hey Niels, thanks! Yes, they told you right, if you are in Dorsoduro you can head to Campo Santa Margherita to find nice places to eat 😋 have a nice time and let us know your experience in Venice ❤️

[@EdMcF1]

I have been many times to the Taverna San Trovaso by the canal of the same name (it is on a fondamenta on the opposite side to the boat yard you see here, but at the other end, near the Grand Canal). I recommend it highly.

[@michaelkirkpatrick9522]

Great ideas for Venice! We are going this Summer. Do you have any recommendations for not so touristy towns on Lake Garda?

[@ItalybyItalians]

Lake Garda is a great destination, full of things to do, you can check them out here: shorturl.at/gpDJ9 we would suggest to choose your preferred town based on what activities you want to do: if you are based on the northeast side it's not that easy to go all the way to the southwest. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy ✌️

[@michaelkirkpatrick9522]

@@ItalybyItalians thank you for the reply! We want a sleepier place where we can sit and read at cafes, see beautiful but authentic Italian buildings and neighborhoods, and meet Italians (not just other tourists). Maybe Lake Orta would give us that feel more than Garda as Garda is so populated with tourists? Or is there a Lake Garda town that's sleepy?

[@ItalybyItalians]

@@michaelkirkpatrick9522 ah it sounds so nice ❤️ we found a nice article that briefly describes the most recommended places to sleep on Lake Garda: it's in Italian, but if you could google translate it in English you may find the information you're looking for 🤗 www.pimpmytrip.it/dove-dormire-lago-di-garda/#lombardia

We have arrived today in Venice, one nights transit, from Sirmione on Lake Garda. Absolutely stunning. Everywhere is spotless. Fabulous food in restaurants on the waters edge. We have previously been to Malcesine too. You will have a wonderful time. Cruising from tomorrow, then back to Venice for 3 nights, our first visit. Can’t wait.
