6 Things To Do And See In Venice
4. Grand Canal
This 2 mile stretch from the railway station is best experienced and traveled on a vaporetto. The passenger boat that has room for 230 passengers takes you through the canal where you can observe Venice and its myriad changes over time. The canal was once the commercial hub of the city where merchandise was sold. Although the thoroughfare has dwindled with time, the travel is quite an experience to relish and must not be missed out on.
5. Carnevale
This Venetian carnival is one of its kind that draws huge crowds of people from all over the world. One of the world’s largest and popular masked balls, the Carnevale begins 58 days before Easter and ends a day before Ash Wednesday. Professionals and visitors wear ornate costumes with flamboyant masks and take part in the festival.
6. Piazza San Marco
Alternatively and more popularly referred to as St. Mark’s Square, the Piazza San Marco is the chief public square in the city. Also called the “drawing room of Europe”, the Piazza is one place from where you can see St. Mark’s Basilica, the Clock Tower, the commercial Rialto and other significant Venetian buildings. This central district is often crowded and seems like the only place in this city.
