Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2012 | Venice, more than any other European city, has an endlessly seductive charm. For centuries, it was nicknamed La Serenissima, "The Most Serenely Beautiful One"- and for good reason. Along with sampling the sumptuous art treasures of Venice and exploring its back-street wonders, we'll cruise its lagoon, stopping in fiery Murano for glass, pastel Burano for lace, and murky Torcello for a sense of where Venice was born. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #venice

Many thanks to Rick and the team! This is my 2nd time watching this video, after the 1st time that must have been so long ago that I don't remember when. Have to say that I enjoyed it even better this second time around. Been to Venice 3 times, but still appreciate every minute of this video. Thank you all for creating this for us.

Go out of season! Get to the main sights early or late, pick just one or two attractions each day and spend a lot of time getting lost, people watching and eating in small family restaurants, riding around on the vaporetti. Magic!!

@watwudscoobydoo1770 6 жыл бұрын

Better then arriving early, buy your tickets in advance so you do not have to wait in line. I went in January so there were no lines. Unfortunately, many businesses on Murano and Burano were closed, It seems they only operate during the more active times of the tourist season. Another piece of advice is learn how the water buses work. ACTV & Alilaguna.

The glass blowing alone was an extraordinary experience, and the Murano chandelier we brought back has been a joy for years.

Great history from this place, you where lucky enough to see the Rialto Bridge without it being under reconstruction as it has been for the last months. And they added a horrible Diesel commercial on the center of it, terrible! Anyway, I recently finished my video of Venice, didn't show much of Rialto for that reason, but did showed a lot of the city and architecture hope you can get a chance to check it out!

When the original dwellers sunk those piles into the waters centuries ago were they aware they were creating an Eden with a mortal life ; one which is now shuffling to its imminent extinction . Brilliant Venice which has seen scenes of unparalleled grandeur and riches and has hosted millions of enchanted visitors throughout the ages is now finally getting ready for the day of reckoning .One wonders whether the tourists who now flock to it's landmarks and monuments are aware that they are participating in the death rites of this enfeebled City . Whether Venice will be attain salvation through some miracle of modern technology is to be seen ,else it will end up as yet another Atlantis .
