The best way to see and feel Venice is to get lost in it.

Venice has thousands of small streets and narrow passages, these places are the essence of the city.
We started our walk from the port of San Basilio.
I encourage you to see a short film from that day on my YouTube channel.
San Basilio is the port where ships from different parts of the northern Adriatic arrive. Ours came from Poreč, Croatia. The cruise is about 3 hours.
Don?t use Google Maps! Why? ? The same idea for using Google Maps was probably in heads of the other 10,000 people who are now in Venice. So, following the advice of Google Maps, you will get where everyone else is.
Our main goal is St. Mark’s Square, but we don’t want to get there by following the same route as the whole crowd from the ship. But we will walk through small side streets looking for passages where there is no one or where there are only locals.
We cross the first bridge-footbridge right next to the exit from the terminal, along the waterfront and immediately next to the pier we turn left into Calle del Vento, through the passage we go to the square. There, we head to the bridge but turn right into the narrow Calle del la Chiesa.

Where is the most time wasted? ? queues to monuments and attractions. Plan in advance where you want to go, check if you can buy tickets online and skip the line. This is the official web site of Venice https://www.veneziaunica.it
I will not explain how to get lost to get to know Venice is quite simple. Remember that not always what is on the list in the first place has to be the most interesting.
Venice is very built up, so it is worth bearing in mind that not everywhere the smartphone will have LTE/5G signal, sometimes you will see 3G or EDGE on the screen.
Walking around Venice you will definitely want to eat something, you can do it in Saint Mark’s Square and pay a fortune. However, you can also look for a place where there are locals or where there is little space but a lot of people who stand and eat. This will be a good place to, for example, buy a slice of very good pizza.
St Mark’s Square! This is arguably the most famous spot in all of Venice?and for good reason! The square is surrounded by many impressive buildings including The Doge’s Palace (which was once a prison) and St Mark’s Basilica (where they keep all of their corpses). You’ll also find many small shops selling everything from trinkets to paintings so you can take home some souvenirs from your trip!
After spending some time exploring St Mark’s Square, make sure you stop by Rialto Market! This place has been around since 1271 when it was created as an open-air market for local fishermen
When I arrived at Campo Manin, I walked around its perimeter and admired how each building looked different from the next: one was made entirely out of stone; another had a red roof with intricate carvings on top; still another had windows that were so tall they seemed like they belonged in a castle instead of in Venice! It really felt like every inch of this city had been thoughtfully designed by someone who cared deeply about what they were creating?and who wanted visitors
Rio di Ognissanti is a street in Venice, Italy. It is located between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Basilica, starting from the San Giacomo Church and ending at the beginning of the Campo San Barnaba.
Rio di Ognissanti was built on the site of an ancient canal that connected to the Grand Canal. The canal was called “Ognissanti” because it was supposed to have been dug by workers who worked for all hours of day and night.
In 1485, after the plague had decimated much of Venice’s population, Rio di Ognissanti became a cemetery for plague victims. This lasted until 1576 when it was closed down due to concerns about disease spreading from this area into central Venice or through groundwater runoff into other areas of town.
Calle del Vento is very narrow and surrounded by buildings. You can’t see the sky when you are there because of the tall buildings on either side of you. The street runs through San Polo and Santa Croce. There are many shops on this street where you can buy souvenirs and clothes for very cheap prices. The atmosphere here is very lively with lots of tourists walking around taking pictures of each other or posing for photos against the backdrop of the beautiful buildings.
