Even though Venice is probably one of the most visited day trip destinations in the world, we don't want to miss the opportunity to show you a Venice away from the typical and crowded tourist attractions. Enjoy our #awalkthrough through the city where there is more water than land.
The cover photo by @nois7 transports us straight to another, dreamy world – the magical world of Venice.
When you arrive in Venice, you immediately notice that life here is a little different than on land - especially the means of transport. You won't find any cars, buses or trains here. Life takes place on the water, so you can only get from A to B by boat or the famous gondolas. @edouard.gomes gives us an overview.
@lorenzoalbanese_photography has captured such a gondola ride beautifully. A water taxi from another time.
If you go to the pier early in the morning like @yuliatverdova_life , you can watch the gondoliers preparing for their day and with a bit of luck you can even get a cheaper price for the gondola ride through a nice chat.
If you've decided to take a gondola ride, you should definitely chat a bit with the gondolier and ask about special local treasures. Show interest in the real Venice and the everyday life of the locals and your gondolier will take you to real gems away from the tourist-filled canals. @lostmyheartinvenice is a real expert on such insider tips - quiet corners where you can fully enjoy Venice and unusual bookshops where you can even find copies from old times.
Venice has a lot to offer architecturally, as the city has developed its own unique architectural style in each era.
So next time you're in Venice, get away from the crowds of tourists and discover the beauty of the quiet and hidden corners of the city. A nice chat with a gondolier, insider tips from bookshop owners or go on a discovery tour on your own and you'll experience something very special.
