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 still unclear how exactly this is planned to be done.

Getting there
Venice is the most convenient way to get to by train, they come almost to the center of the city to the station, leaving from which all the wonders of the city open at once - canals, shabby houses, romantic balconies Iki 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 but follow on to Tronchetto, where the tourists are already floating on the vaporto right away to San- Marco (on the road 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 itself the only public transport is the "vaporetto", which They travel through all canals 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 places where bridges are not laid, mini-vaporets are being used to transfer ferries - which are delivered from one bank to another 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 of Venice
Restaurants in Venice are very expensive and not always tasty , so you should carefully choose the location. Unfortunately, there are very few such places near San Marco
You can eat cheaply at home either by purchasing in a supermarket or taking a pizza for a takeaway (from 2 EUR for a large and tasty piece).
To feel real a local 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!
Shops 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 information on shops and purchases, visit 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 go out to an excellent sandy beach, fully equipped, with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a very gently sloping entrance to the water.
Venice attractions, excursions and attractions
One of the city's main attractions is the Grand Canal, across the 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 (also the 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 there is a sign in it the second largest city 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 gardens of Giardini Delia The Biennale, the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Scuola Grande San Marco and Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni. In the area of San Polo, the churches of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari from the second highest bell tower of Venice, the famous Scuola-San Rocco with Tintoretto paintings, and the nearby San Rocco church deserve attention.
Many museums in Venice now have museums, including the famous ones like the collection of Peggy Guggenheim a collection of contemporary art in Italy), the Academy Gallery, the Correr Museum (historical and art collections on the two upper floors of the New Procurations), the International Gallery of Contemporary Art Santa Croce and the Museum of Contemporary Art in the Ca'Pesaro Palace on the Grand Canal
Saturday night 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 Marguerite.
