From Rialto to San Marco: why Venice is my favourite city

Venice is truly a unique city—beautiful and incredibly confusing! It’s probably the only city where I’ve managed to get lost more than once.
Despite the large number of tourists (especially in late spring and early summer), I always want to come back again and again.
I have a list of favorite spots in Venice, and it’s not just the Rialto Bridge and San Marco—many of them are a bit farther from the city center.
✨Here’s the list:
• Basilica Santa Maria della Salute
• Algiubagiò restaurant — a Michelin-starred restaurant!
• Il Pavone Di Pelosin Paolo — a charming shop with handmade souvenirs
• La Nuova Perla restaurant
• Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta detta I Gesuiti
• La Barrique Wine Bar

🧳Travel tip:
Visit Venice in the winter—it’s truly a magical sight. And best of all, there are hardly any tourists around.
