Back Street Canals: Get lost already!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Venice has over 100 canals with over 400 bridges. It's a lot of little islands. Each "island" was considered its own separate little district back in the day so each one has its own church, its own campo, etc.

    Churches: There are scores of churches in Venice
  • Tip Rating:
  • Venice is a series of little islands. There are at least 100 islands and I believe around 400 bridges. Each little island was its own district (not just in a sestiere - each little island were distinct units). It had its own church in its main campo, palaces, town hall - as if each were its own city. (my memory fogs, this was from a walking tour).

    Here are some photos of churches I visited.

     Great "Palazzo Non-Finito" tip. Have you heard the story about a few *** of a different size (for different occasions)? Peggy had been denying that :-)
