Tourist guide: what to do and see in Venice
More gondolas than cars.
“Acqua Alta” (“High Water”) shout the gondoliers, as all visitors prepare their cameras to take the best shots of this phenomenon, which can only be photographed in this city where a square can appear and disappear under water several times in one day. Venice is, in short, the place to enjoy something exceptional and unique: from enjoying a ride in a gondola or vaporetto, the best ways to see the city, to "sinking" into the art of its streets and the charm of its monuments, many of them over 800 years old. We would not be talking about Venice if we did not also mention its renowned February carnival, where you can check how the city "disguises" itself to learn about its most amazing side. After the phenomenon of Acqua Alta, prepare yourself to continue along the fabulous streets of Venice, trying to convince yourself that you are not dreaming.
