  • Favorite Thing: It's amazing how much the water is a part of everyday life in Venice. The locals are so accustomed to it, that it doesn't seem to be an obstacle, but instead is something to celebrate and take pride in.

  • Favorite Thing: The Grand Canal, also known as the Canalazzo, winds through the heart of Venice for 2 1/2 miles passing through each of the six city districts (sestieri). Lining its banks you'll find beautiful palaces, museums and churches.

  • Favorite Thing: One of the best things about Venice, is just walking around and letting yourself get lost. The street plan is this: there is no recognizable plan! So without an incredibly detailed map, you will find yourself disoriented. These yellow signs will help guide you in the general direction of some of the more important locations (i.e. san marco, accademia, piazzale rome, etc).

     Great insights on the magic of Venice. Your photographs certainly do entice.

     Your pictures and comments show how much you fell under the spell of this magical city- even on a dull day; we had that too.

     Fabulous page on Venezia! It was just two weeks ago that I was there but it seems like forever ago and yesterday, all at once. I agree -- I love getting lost in Venice.
