There is no point in describing with some general phrases this city on the water, built on 122 islands connected by 400 bridges: everything that you heard about or read about it is true. And gondoliers, and channels instead of streets in the old city, and beautiful old buildings, and, alas, obviously excessive abundance of tourists. It got to the point that the city authorities started talking seriously about the possible restriction of the tourist flow. However, it is not yet clear how exactly this is planned to be done.

How to get
It is most convenient to get to Venice by train, they come almost to the center of the city at the station, leaving from which all the wonders of the city open at once - canals, shabby houses, romantic balconies and ... a lot of tourists. Trains here run almost from all over Italy, in Mestre (a suburb of Venice) you will probably have to make a transfer, since the final station of Venice is far from all trains. From Mestre to Venice by train only 10-15 minutes.
You can get to the city and by bus - they do not drive directly to the central square, where there is parking, and follow on to Tronchetto, where tourists already swim on the vaporto right away to San Marco (en route about 25-30 minutes and 6, 5 euros) . Finally, you can arrive in the city and on your own car.

Boats and gondolas
In the city, the only public transport is the "vaporetto", which runs through all channels to the nearest islands. The most picturesque route No. 1 passes through the Grand Canal and costs 6, 5 EUR (the ticket is valid for 1 hour, 16 euros for 12 hours). Also through the Grand Canal, in the places where bridges are not laid, mini-vaporets are carried out crossing the river - they are delivered from one bank to the other for 0, 5 EUR (this is very convenient, since the bypass can sometimes take up to 15 minutes).
Gondolas are an exceptionally bourgeois, tourist and romantic way to see Venice. The fare for them is calculated not for a person, but for a gondola, in which a maximum of 6 people can fit (respectively, the more a person, the cheaper). For 40 minutes of swimming on the gondola will take from 80 EUR (you need to bargain, and then sderut not less than 100 EUR). In the evening - more expensive.

Cuisine and restaurants in Venice
Restaurants in Venice are very expensive and not always tasty, so you should carefully choose the location. Near San Marco such places, unfortunately, very little.
You can cheaply eat at home, pre-purchased in a supermarket, or taking a pizza to take away (from 2 EUR for a large and tasty piece).
To feel like a real resident, in the evening you should not drink wine or beer, but a "syringe" (spritz, from 2-3 EUR per glass). And it can be drunk not only in a restaurant, but also asking to pour in plastic cups with you (cups have a very decent appearance, in each "syringe" is attached a huge olive). "Syringes" are different: stronger, sweet, bitter, etc. - it's worth trying everything!
Shopping and shopping
Of course, a mask. It is worth paying attention to her choice: many Chinese counterfeits are being sold, which, albeit, are cheaper, but they do not deliver aesthetic pleasure. Normal mask will cost from 25 EUR, real works of art - and even more.
Murano glass - the second most popular souvenir from Venice. As a rule, everyone buys a suspension - from 8-11 EUR, or a full-fledged vase, a plate, a chandelier and in general all that the soul desires. Tourists are often brought directly to the island of Murano, where the glass is produced. There is also a souvenir shop, rumored to be selling real glass (and all the rest, they say, is not quite real). For more details about shops and purchases, see the "Shopping in Venice" page.

Beach
In Venice, there is a private beach, where tourists usually do not get, but local people happily spend there vik-ends or lunch hours. Look for ferry to the final stop Lido (from San Marco 3-4 stops). After leaving the port, go right through and go straight through the entire island, on the road for about 5 minutes. And you will go to an excellent sandy beach, fully equipped, with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a very gently sloping entrance to the water.
Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing in Venice
One of the main attractions of the city is the Grand Canal, passing through the whole city and having a length of about 4 km and a width of up to 70 meters. It leads to the central square of Venice, Piazza San Marco, which houses the Basilica di San Marco and the famous Palazzo Ducale (the same Doge's Palace).
Around the Piazza San Marco there is a huge number of historical monuments: the Orołodzko tower, the Rialto Golden Bridge, the Ponte dei Sospiri Bridge of Sighs, the buildings of the Old and New Prosecutions, the Campanile bell tower, the San Marco library with the Archaeological Museum and the mint Dzekka .Nearby you can find numerous palaces of the Venetian nobility, the Royal Garden, the cathedrals of Santa Maria della Salute and Scuola Grande dei Carmini with magnificent frescoes, the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, the Basilica of Frari, the palace of Ca d'Oro (now in he exhibited the famous gallery of Franchetti, the second most important in the city) .
In the area of Castello, it is worth seeing the churches of San Pietro di Castello, San Zaccaria and Santa Maria dei Miracoli, the grandiose complex of Arsenal, the Giardini Delia Biennale Gardens, the Santi Giovanni e Paolo basilica, the Scuola Grande- San Marco and Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni. In the area of San Polo deserve attention to the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari from the second highest belltower in Venice, the famous Scuola-San Rocco with paintings of Tintoretto, as well as the nearby church of San Rocco.
Many old palaces of Venice now open museums, including such famous ones as the collection of Peggy Guggenheim (a large collection of contemporary art in Italy), the Academy Gallery, the City Museum Correr (historical and art collections on the two upper floors of the New Procurations), the International Gallery modern art of Santa Croce and the Museum of Contemporary Art in the Ca'Pesaro Palace on the Grand Canal.
Saturday evening is the time when all of Venice is seething until the morning. Along the streets there are discharged companies of stag and hen parties, drunken and not very local people and cheerful tourists. They all crowd in the streets near the bars, sipping syringes or beer, periodically moving to a nearby establishment, and talking. The most tusovye areas - Rialto and Campus Margherita.
