Essential Tips | Guide to a Day Trip in Venice, Italy

❗️Venice is a name that has resonated with me since childhood~ It's a magical place in Europe that I've always heard adults talk about, where everything is water~ There's no land~ Houses are built on the surface of the water! 😠Very curious! Finally got the chance to come here as an adult, wanting to see this city where there is no land and all life is on the water. Arrived in Venice. 📑Pure essential tips sharing. Venice has always been known as the 'City of Water'. The city has a total of 177 canals, connected by 401 bridges of various designs. (Mission Impossible has even filmed scenes here.) ✅Getting on the island: I recommend buying a day pass, as Venice's water public transport is operated by the ACTV company, and I find the transportation costs a bit expensive, with a single ticket costing 9.5 euros. You can buy tickets from machines at the stations, which is convenient. ✅Attraction Introduction Water taxis, you can experience a gondola ride here, where the gondolier rows you around. (The prices are also very transparent) The gondoliers in Venice are more handsome than the next, and even though the weather is cold, seeing a handsome guy makes you feel incredibly happy. My heart is on fire. PS‼️(In photos 456 behind me, that bridge, when you walk over it, make sure to keep a close eye on your belongings, just a short bridge, you know, personal and property safety comes first.) Went to St. Mark's Square on the off-island, ⛪️ just in time for the bell ringing, the sound echoing over the square is the 'sound of freedom'. There are many shops and markets around the square. 🎉Very lively. ✅Attraction Photography Venice is also very photogenic, whether you're sitting on a gondola taking photos🤳 or in St. Mark's Square. 👍Take a stroll through the Rialto Market, experience the local life and culture of the locals, it has a unique charm.

If we don't go, this city will disappear. 🛶Venice, the capital of the Veneto region in northern Italy. It is known as the "City of Water", "City of Canals", "City of a Hundred Islands", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Light", "City of Bridges" and other beautiful names. Here, there is one of the most beautiful squares in the world, "St. Mark's Square", the Phoenix Opera House that rose from the ashes, the beautiful Grand Canal, the sighing bridge described by Xu Zhimo, breathtaking arcades, and some of the most beautiful scenes in master Antoniooni's films were shot here. It's not an exaggeration to say that Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Wherever you go, you'll be amazed by the pure beauty of the city's architecture and exquisite art. It's as if the city has a life of its own, growing naturally rather than being built. Take a ride on the Venetian people's traditional transportation, the gondola, and slowly sway through the city's long and narrow waterways. It's incredibly relaxing. 🌈Venice attractions: 🌏St. Mark's Square: also known as the Venice Central Square, has always been the public activity center for politics, religion, and traditional festivals in Venice. 🌍St. Mark's Basilica: It is the resting place of St. Mark. It was once the largest church in medieval Europe and a classic work of Venetian architecture, as well as a treasure trove of rich art collections. The church follows the Byzantine style of architecture, with a Greek cross shape and five hemispherical domes. The most famous feature of the church is its golden mosaic facade, and the interior is also famous for its golden altar and mosaic decorations. In the sunlight, the entire church shines brightly, hence it is also known as the "Golden Church". 🌍St. Mark's Campanile: standing tall in St. Mark's Square, it is the tallest building in Venice. This bell tower, made of red bricks and standing at 98.6 meters, was built in the late 15th century. It is not only the longitudinal axis of the city of Venice, but also the center of the spatial composition of the square's buildings. Standing here and looking down from the top, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Venice and the lagoon, and even have a distant view of the beautiful Alps. 🌍Rialto Bridge: also known as the Commercial Bridge, was built in 1180. Originally a wooden bridge, it was later converted into a suspension bridge. During a celebration in 1444, the bridge collapsed due to overload. From 1580 to 1592, it was rebuilt into the current stone bridge. There is a floating pavilion on the top of the bridge, and more than 20 jewelry stores and souvenir stalls on both sides, making it one of the most important commercial areas in Venice. It was once the commercial center of Europe for 300 years and served as the background for Shakespeare's famous play "The Merchant of Venice". 🌍Academy Bridge: Built in 1932, it is the second bridge on the Grand Canal of Venice after the Rialto Bridge. Located at the southernmost end of the Grand Canal, it is named after the Academy of Fine Arts to the northwest. This is a wooden single-arch bridge, and standing on the Academy Bridge, you can overlook the beautiful Church of Santa Maria della Salute. In recent years, with the rise of water levels, the old city of Venice has become increasingly precarious, and many people have abandoned it. Scientists predict that by 2100, Venice may be completely submerged and disappear from the ground.
