'Carneval in Venice' is a Must and other Venice, Italy General Tips

Favorite Thing:
'Carneval in Venice' is really great ! ! !

B U T : If you dont come to see the carneval come here any OTHER TIME of the Year !

It is absolutely crowded, often the 'traffic of walking people' is stuck for half an hour, and nobody could tell you why! You cannot go on and cannot go back in these small streets!

Fondest Memory: I really enjoyed that special kind of Carneval - its not like laughter at every corner, but sophisticated, great costumes, a certain melancholic atmosphere...

You should try it !!!

Venezia - Rialtobridge

Favorite Thing: On Canale Grande there are only 3 bridges - and RIALTO-bridge is certainly the most famous one.
.

Fondest Memory: Rialtobridge is a partly covered bridge with plenty of souvenir-shops ON the bridge.
.
And it is also one of the places, every tourist wants to go...

...but streets to and around Rialto are rather small and narrow, so try to avoid to be in the area at times of "tourist-hours"

Venice Campanile and Doges palace

The Doges palace and St.Marks Chatedral on the right and the Campanile ( the belltower on the left )

There is a lift going to the platform, where you will have a great view over the islands and the houses of Venice

Venice seen from the Campanile

Favorite Thing: The Campanile is open only for a restricted time - so you better check upon arrival on St.Marcus Square.

Sometimes there are big queues of waiting tourists, sometimes its totally empty
.

Fondest Memory: Take a look around also for the smaller islands and for places you like to see , when walking through Venice
