It’s a phrase used all too loosely when describing so many cities around the world, but there really is nowhere else on earth like Venice. Built on 117 small islands, 150 canals flow through the city centre and each and every one will have you grabbing for your camera. While its streets can be incessantly busy, something will urge you to propel yourself through as many of them as possible. It can be unashamedly expensive, but eat and drink where the locals do and a visit there won't be as costly as you think.

Download Venice Pocket Guide View all guides »I felt like I was in a movie the whole time, its indescribable. Catch the sunset on a boat from Lido to the main island because its the must beautiful I've ever seen in my life.
Insider Tip:Get the Venice Card, every boat trip coasts 6,5 euros so it will pay for itself if you are not staying in the main island. We paid 36 hours card which was 23 euros and took 7 trips so it was 23 euros instead of 45 euros.
Venice is now one of my favorite cities. It's the perfect place to just wander around, you really don't need to head anywhere specific. It's very easy to bump into sights, much easier than actually looking for them :/ the street signs can be a little confusing.
Insider Tip:Follow the arrow signs instead of street signs. Arrow signs are will be bigger and will say something like: S. Marco -> and it will take you to Canal Di S. Marco. It's much easier to navigate the city this way.
bottom line, you will not find anywhere like here in the world so I will not complain anything. I hope Venice as a city can survive even longer in the future so I could have a chance to go back. The masks on the Burano island were bloody expensive. So you'd better buy them on the main island of Venice.
Insider Tip:Bring mosquito killers!
