Here are my top 10 fun things/activities to do and see when in Venice, Italy!

Venice, Italy

  1. Ride the Gondola –

    The Gondolas

    one of the best ways to experience Venice and trip down the Grand Canal. A 40 minute trip costs about 80euros. I’ve always wanted to try the Gondola since I was young, so, I insisted and made a deal with my BF just for him to let me.

  2. Watch the sunrise at Academia Bridge – totally breathtaking view of the sunrise over the grand canal!

  3. Watch the sunset at the Rialto Bridge – Come early, photographers usually start to setup their gears on the bridge and wait until the sun comes down the horizon. Expect crowd on this bridge every day and any time of the day.

  4. Gelato – forget the diet! Cool down and relax after a long, tiring walk around the city.
  5. Pizza – You can never go wrong! When in doubt (and budget), eat pizza!

  6. Visit Piazza San Marco – Known in English as the St. Mark’s Square, this is the principal public square in Venice, Italy. Everyone, locals and tourists alike, loves to hang out in this area. Always lively and charming place. You can just sit at a corner and watch people (and birds)
