Venezia....a romantic city

by Polly74 - last update: Dec 21, 2004

"Without streets and vehicles, the uproar of wheels, the brutality of horses, and with its little winding ways where people crowd together, where voices sound as in the corridors of a house where the human step circulates as if it skirted the angles of furniture and shoes never wear out, the place has the character of an immense collective apartment, in which Piazza San Marco is the most adorned corner".

Henry James, The Aspern Papers
Canal Grande
Venice is a wonderful city and you can easily walk around it to visit it.
Distances are short: get a map of the city, but don’t bother to get “lost” in the back streets, bridges and campi (squares) that make up the real Venice..
Yellow signs, usually on the wall of a corner building, will direct you to the major spots. Keep right when walking in the city street. Never stop on bridges.

Pros:"Romantic atmosphere"
Cons:"Very expensive...except in winter time"
In A Nutshell:"To visit!"
