Besides the road and other Venice, Italy Off The Beaten Path Tips

Off the road

Looking for places besides the official wellknown spots in Venice is also spectacular.
We took the ferry (or local tram/boat) to San Marco Square and than - after visiting some highlights of Venice we walked straight from North to South direction "Parking Communale) - it was a good way to discover other pittoresque spots in venice !

Patera

Look out for the typical sculptures when you travel through the many narrow streets ! Religious believes expressed in sculptures are decorating many houses, portals and walls of churches

Importance of masks

We were invited to a local - non touristic - factory of the famous masks.
The artist herself explained us the way of making those masks, the history and importance of staying rather unknown during Carnavale period. Actually from october till june !!

Masks

Symbol of Carnavale in Venice, in the past from october till june, can you imagine.
Belgium, Germany and even Rio de Janeiro - be hufted about this period of pleasure, fun and games in the casinos.
All over different shops in Venice you can buy masks, but the prices are so different. From a few euros or dollars till .... the sky or yr creditcard is the limit.

Architecture

The southern part of Venice.
Take a walk on Zattere Ponto Lungo and Zattera al Gesuatti. The "boulevard" the Venice inhabitants like to stroll around.
You will find a lot of marvellous buildings

Just stroll around the less touristic parts of southern Venice. Observe the architecture of many houses in this city. Look at the way of
decorating walls by a kind of chimneys,look at the catholic symbols - just enjoy !
