Stay right on the Grand Canal and make your life EASY. This hotel is steps from the Vaporetto, which is huge in Venice since you’ll be walking a lot and hauling luggage over bridges is no joke. Perfect location for a short trip.
Hotel Principe, Venice, an elegant hotel on the Grand Canal
This is the main way to get around Venice. If you're staying a few days, grab a pass—it saves money and time hopping between spots (especially to Murano & Burano).

We did a private guide and I HIGHLY recommend it. You’ll understand the history so much more, and walking through the Bridge of Sighs is way more powerful when you know what it meant.

The gold altar (Pala d’Oro) is stunning. Don’t skip the terrace—you get one of the best views in Venice right from the basilica.

This is where you’ll see the famous bronze horses up close. A quick add-on to your basilica visit but totally worth it.

Yes, it’s pricey. No, you can’t negotiate. But if it’s your first time in Venice, it’s one of those “you just have to do it” experiences. Tip: split the cost with others.

Take a short boat ride and watch glass being made right in front of you. Super cool and a nice break from the crowds in Venice.

VENICE to BURANO ferry from $10 (€8) with Consorzio Vidali Group
This was one of the most unique little spots we stumbled across in Venice. Books are stacked everywhere—inside bathtubs, gondolas, even boats—to protect them from flooding, which just adds to the charm. Make sure you walk to the back where there’s a ...
Books and culture intertwined with the uniqueness of Venice
This is one of those hidden gems you’d easily walk right past if you didn’t know about it. Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, this spiral “snail” staircase feels like a secret escape from the crowds. If you climb to the top, you’ll get a beautiful pan...
