Venice
Venice is a city crossed by water with its islets, canals and bridges. A place to live and visit at a slow pace. No roads or cars, no traffic except that of tourists who come every day to discover this unique and extraordinary city.
It happens to me often that, while I walk around these kind of cities I try to picture how they should have been decades ago… Well Venice is amazing! Try to watch a building and then close your eyes….. The streets, its scents and the mixture of the many different languages and accents you can hear are a great way to imagine Venice hundreds of years ago as an important connection between West and East. With many foreigners coming for commercial reasons.
It is a surprising and lively city, with an invaluable artistic and cultural heritage enclosed between its canals and Gothic-Venetian buildings. However, let’s go back to the big question: how to visit Venice in a day?
Let us start from the famous St. Mark’s Square, the biggest of the city and place where all the major international events take place. It overlooks the main and most important buildings of the city. Among these, the elegant and shining St. Mark’s Basilica, which contains all the Roman, Byzantine and Venetian culture of the place.
Prepare yourself to be stunned at the sight of its golden mosaics adorning the interior.
On the square does not go unnoticed even Palazzo Ducale that once was the seat of the Doge of Venice. Its porch has always been on every postcard in the city, you cannot miss to take a picture here.
The bell tower of St. Mark stands on the square deserving the name of “el paron de casa” (the landlord). Take the time of a climb to the top because from it you can have a panoramic view of the entire lagoon. You can’t help but notice the central column of St. Mark with the Lion…does it look familiar?
You’re not wrong! It is the same winged lion you find in many of the places you’ll visit on Lake Garda. A distinctive symbol of the Serenissima Republic that dominated for a long time even over most of the territory of Lake Garda.
Not to be missed are the Bridge of Sighs and the Rialto Bridge, the most famous of the many bridges that cross the canals of the city. Do you know that in Venice there are more than 430 bridges?
No, you will not be able to visit all of them in one day in Venice, that is for sure, but on the other hand, it would not be possible even in a week! Another thing to do absolutely is a navigation on the canals of Venice.
Whether by gondola, boat or ferry only from the water you can see the city in its entire ancient splendor. Those that I have indicated to you are the essential things, the ones that “you can’t go to Venice and do not see”.
My advice, however, is to give you a few hours to walk through the streets admiring everything you encounter along the way. Without the fear of getting lost because, I reveal a secret: wherever you go, you will always find yourself, magically, in St Mark’s Square!
Even with only one day to see the entire city? Yes, because it is the most authentic way to discover Venice.
