Mar 1, 2025
📍Location:
Venice, Veneto Region, Italy
🎟️ Tickets:
Entry to the city is free, but Venice now charges a €5 day-tripper fee (on selected high-traffic dates).
Gondola ride: €80 for 30 mins (day), €100 (night)
Vaporetto (water bus): €9.50 one-way, or €25 for a day pass
👀 Why it’s breathtaking:
Venice feels like a dream—romantic canals, colorful facades, and the echo of footsteps in narrow alleys. Highlights include St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, Rialto Bridge, and the peaceful beauty of Burano and Murano islands. The way the city floats on water gives every view a cinematic magic. Watching gondolas glide by as church bells ring is a moment you won’t forget.
💡 Tip:
Go for a sunset gondola ride to avoid crowds and bask in golden light. Don’t skip cicchetti (Venetian tapas) with a glass of spritz at a bacaro. Book attractions in advance and wear comfortable shoes—you’ll walk a lot. And yes, Venice is expensive, but strolling through its beauty is priceless.
