  The campanile of San Giorgio Maggiore has the best view of the lagoon, the layout of the grand canal, and even the alps in the distance!

  Such a helpful video! I love that you included a detailed map; it really helps to visualize how to organize the route without going in circles. The balance between the &apos;must-dos&apos; and those hidden gems is perfect for first-timers visiting Venice in 2026. It’s a super clear, aesthetic, and, above all, very realistic guide. Thanks for sharing these tips!

  I have a tip that if you want to have some kind of &quot;budget boat tour Around Venice&quot;, I suggest buy yourself a Vaporetto Ticket, and take the 4.1 from Riva De Biasio Stop (this is their first stop, less crowd and can choose your preferred seat), then you can enjoy a &quot;boat cruise&quot; outside of Venice Island until F.Te Nove Stops to take a rest have a coffee or lunch 😁 then take 5.1 Vaporetto from that stop to take you back to Riva de Biasio.<br><br>I just came back from Venice a week ago, and I must say it is a VERY BEAUTIFUL city even though it crowded with tourist.

  Gondolas are overprized and our gondolier gave uns a 20min ride!!, I have been to Venice ten times, it is my favorite city in the world and the gondola was a birthday present by one of my daughters after few times there, she insisted on the gondola to have a full experience and believe me it is not worth it!!!<br><br><br><br> a gondola

  The sunrise walk about is so important in Venice. Use that jet lag to your advantage!

  We used T Mobile without any issues in Italy, France and England.... but double check your plan to make sure that your plan includes EU coverage. We also run a VPN at all times so we had US location so we had our normal access. <br><br>I&apos;d recommend an quite dinner overlooking the lagoon from Maurano... there&apos;s a little bar next to the Hyatt... truffle cheeseburgers and local wine while watching the moon rise.... a highlight a 21 day tour of Italy

  Thank you! One of the best travel videos I have seen. &nbsp;Having been to Venice before, I agree with most of your suggestions. &nbsp;Your voice, annunciation, clarity and interest are very clear and keep one’s attention. &nbsp;I watched because I am hoping to visit Venice again. &nbsp;I will now look for your other videos.

  Living in Venice, I would also recommend visiting the museum &quot;La Biennale di Venezia&quot;, ​​an art exhibition that takes place every year in Venice and is divided into two sections: the Art Biennale and the Architecture Biennale, which welcome works from all over the world, from sculpture to painting, but also music, cinema, theater and dance. It is very important to remember that the Art Biennale takes place in odd years, such as 2023 or 2025, while the Architecture Biennale takes place in even years, such as 2024 or 2026.<br>And it is also very cheap since the entrance ticket costs only 8.50 EURO<br><br>P.S. I highly recommend the Art Biennale.
