Torceno Island is one of the birthplaces of Venice’s history and civilization. Today, it is one of the lonelier islands in Venice, but from the churches left on the island, you can still see the prosperity of the past. The famous American writer Ernest Hemingway once lived on the island in 1948. There are two main attractions on the island, one is Asenta Church and the other is St. Fusca Church. The end of summer is a time when many tourists are in Venice. If you want to avoid the crowds, there are still many places to go.

The island is beautiful. There are not many activities to do but it is still worth a visit for the scenery of the lagoon. There are beautiful churches and museums on the island. We love the water bus tour here, it is so beautiful.
It is a small and exquisite island, the island's most famous attraction, St. Mary's Church, very beautiful, feels like a legacy of independence, Hemingway also lived on the island for a while.
It is still a beautiful island. We went in the off-season, so there are not many people on the island. It is very good to take a walk and sit on the lawn. Some shops are closed. Generally speaking, it is more natural.
Prano Island and Tolchero Island, today the whole Venice area fog, sea visibility is not good, Prano lace and lovely color house, Tolchero is recommended by the local quiet island, population is only 100, because the relationship between foggy atmosphere is good enough to have a mind-opening desire.
Tolchero loves its pastoral style! The tranquility here contrasts sharply with the noise of the colour islands, but it is said that Torcello, the birthplace of Venice, once had a glorious and prosperous life, and there are still many remains on the island. There are only about thirty families here today.
If you think Venice is too crowded, take a rest on Tolchero Island. Once one of the earliest settled islands in the lagoon, it is now a sleeping stagnant water. The old rectangular church is lovely and well restored. It is recommended to go camping. The view of Venice and the lagoon from the top of Campanile makes climbing more valuable.
Most of the people who come to Venice are by train. Personally, I suggest to live on the main island. It's much easier for you to go to the island the next day in more than a dozen euros, and the scenery is beautiful in the morning and evening. If you are flying, there are buses to and from the main island at Marco Polo Airport, 5 Euros, and they are free by ticket. It is suggested to buy a 48H bus ticket. Venice needs to play for 2 days. Before going there, some friends said they were disappointed with Venice. They went with a group. They only stayed in Marco Polo Square on the main island for a while. Of course, they were disappointed. Tourist guides were afraid that tourists would get lost. They repeatedly stressed that they were not allowed to cross four bridges. In fact, there were no bridges so easy to get lost, and each bridge had a different scenery and the main island was quite large. It's hard to walk on both legs. Water bus line 1 is a tour route around the island.
