    I recommend at least a two-day visit to experience Venice in the morning, afternoon and evening. A very safe place with a large crowd of people, but they disappear towards the evening and you can walk alone and feel the Venetian atmosphere.

    Very interesting and historical part of Venice. Worth spending a couple hours to take the guided tour, look around, and visit some shops

    We discovered this church during our Venice walking tour.

    This cute church has a treasure chest looking facade

    It was built in the 15th century, it has remained original and preserved.

    Both the interior and the facade is sculpted with multi-colored marble.

    Really worth a look whilst in Venice.

    Peaceful, busy working church. We arrived as people were busy coming for prayers and then heading on their way. A lovely play for prayer or contemplation in a very busy area.

    Enjoyed the tour with the architecture and art. Lots of Medieval art with some more modern installations. Would recommend with the Palazzo di Grimani.

    A very convenient train station which provides access to the Wonderful world of Venice. The station is rather easy to navigate with plenty of ticket kiosk in order to purchase and validate your ticket on the run. The boards are easy to read and access. They have a few shops to purchase items and food on the go.

    Our family stumbled upon this most amazing church. It may seem humble from the outside; however once inside I was overwhelmed by the paintings,
    Just amazing.

    A pretty bridge with a great view at what feels like the 'entrance' of Venice.

    Once you cross it, there are lots of a shops, restaurants, and other sights and sounds of Venice to enjoy.

    The tourist path close to the northern bank of the Canal Grande passes the Campo (square) San Genesio with the nice church close to the sestiere of Cannaregio. The church forms the imposing conclusion of this wide opening square. The inside is less spectacular compared with other churches in Venice. Its best known for its relics of Saint Lucia. In mediavel times Venice acquired works of art and relics, but sometimes they looted them in pagan lands and in the case of the relics of Saint Lucia even in Byzantium in 1204 p.c.

    There can't be many supermarkets in such a stunning building - but make sure that you take a look inside, as that's really special, too. We were staying in a self-catering AirBNB nearby and visited it a few times.

    This beautiful bridge is the last one remaining with three arches , it’s also the fifth bridge for dimensions after Rialto, Scalzi, Accademia and Costituzione.

    Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli di Cristo or the Church of the Holy Apostles of Christ is from 7th-century and is a Roman Catholic church.

    Its located in the Cannaregio district and we discovered it during our walking tour.

    It is one of the oldest churches in Venice and has undergone numerous changes since its origin.

    In 1575 the church was rebuilt rather than renovated.

    The bell tower was built in 1672.

    My husband and I had never been to Italy before, so for this first trip, we chose three cities: Rome, Florence, and Venice, spending 3 days in each. Turned out to be a perfect choice, with each city having its own personality and types of things to see and do. Since we're Jewish, we made a point of visiting the Jewish sections of each city. These visits taught us a lot about Italian history, not just Jewish.

    While we loved all 3 cities, Venice was our favorite. Venice is a little jewel of a city. Cars and motorcycles are banned from most of it, so you don’t have to worry about sharing streets with anyone except other pedestrians. We walked all over, past lovely churches and piazzi, up and down alleys, some of them so narrow we had to go single file. But they didn’t feel confining, they just drew us in to see what was beyond the next corner. We would come to a break in the stone with a wide window of a shop containing Venetian glass or books, art, leather goods, food, lace, or—my personal favorite—beautiful clothes made here in Italy.
    What a joy to be on our own timeline, to decide on the spur of the moment to explore this alley, check out this shop, or try the pizza or pasta or sweets and coffee in this or that cafe that looks so promising.

    And I couldn't imagine a lovelier hotel than the one we chose. It's called Hotel Excess, but it's not excess--it's just right. Beautiful, comfortable, with a warm, friendly staff and great buffet breakfasts.

    Ancient bridge built in 1580 instead of a wooden bridge built in 1285. The spires were added during the rebuilt of 1823 and since that time is named Bridge of the spires
