Frank:
Venice is not the most fun city to navigate if you are claustrophobic and hate to be stuck in the middle of a crowd. It can feel, at times, like you are being herded off to slaughter. However, there is a reason why so many flock to this tiny group of islands, and that’s because it’s one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, if not the world.
We arrived in Venice by train via Florence, although it does have its own airport on the “mainland” (at which you would still need to take either a train or a taxi out to the islands). If you didn’t know it already, Venice is actually a group of many smaller Islands surrounded by many small canals and with one large, main, canal snaking down the middle.
We stay at the Hotel Vecellio, which is on the northern side of the group of Islands and is featured in the video above.
We had a wonderful time in Venice and was actually our favorite place we visited in Italy (at least so far).
