Walking "on" water
by Malecka
ok, in my opinion the charm of this place is definitely its unique looks: little bridges everywhere, narrow streets and nice houses, with flowers. And it feels nice walking through all those streets and then ending up on some small piazza.
San Marco's Square is something you mustn't miss but everybody knows about it. Usually there's a huge line of people waiting to go to the Basilica.
The true spirit, if you ask me, is exactly in those little streets and piazzas where you can relax for a moment. Feeding pigeons on St Marco's square OF COURSE... YOU MUST DO THAT...
Hope the day is sunny!!!!
Piazza San Marco

..is of Piazza San Marco devoid of people, before the boatloads of tourists arrive at 9-10 o'clock. Picture yourself standing in the middle of the empty square in the early morning light. Breathtaking! On another occasion it began to rain, and I loved watching the people scatter as the huge raindrops fell, then seeing the piazza all wet!

One of the best things about Venice, is just walking around and letting yourself get lost. The street plan is this: there is no recognizable plan! So without an incredibly detailed map, you will find yourself disoriented. These yellow signs will help guide you in the general direction of some of the more important locations (i.e. san marco, accademia, piazzale rome, etc).
Italians are fabulous!

I love the Italians and their way of life - they have the right idea. Fabulous sense of style, love their food and wine, the best coffee in Europe.
And their pets even get to travel in style! Look at this little fellow that I shared the train with on my way from Venice to Verona.
I snuck this picture when his owner popped to the bathroom.
Woof!

If you are going to visit Venice in summer - there is quite warm weather. Try to take comfortable clothes, and especially shoes.
FOR WOMEN ONLY: NO HIGH HEELS!!!
Sometimes in the evening, it might be cool, so a jacket may be useful.
