Venice in winter is often shrouded in fog, which might make you worry about your travel plans. However, on foggy days, Venice transforms into a magical and dreamlike world. Here’s a one-day itinerary to enjoy Venice on such a misty day! 1. Gondola Ride (Photo 1) When you think of Venice, gondolas navigating the canals immediately come to mind. Even on foggy days, the narrow paths of the canals allow you to enjoy the surrounding cityscape as you cruise. While the view ahead may often be obscured, this adds a mysterious charm, making you feel as if you’re wandering into an unknown world. 2. Banksy’s Mural (Photo 2) Banksy, the enigmatic artist, has left his mark in Venice! His artwork, titled "The Migrant Child," blends seamlessly into the city’s atmosphere. It’s said to have been painted overnight. Did he create it while riding a gondola? This thought-provoking piece is worth checking out. 3. Bridge of Sighs (Photo 3) A must-visit spot in Venice, the Bridge of Sighs is surprisingly small. It connects the Doge’s Palace to the prison, and its name comes from the sighs of prisoners as they crossed it. The heavy fog enhances the melancholic ambiance, making the experience even more evocative. 4. Piazza San Marco (Photo 4) Known as one of the most beautiful squares in the world, Piazza San Marco is adorned with the iconic Campanile and St. Mark’s Basilica. On foggy days, the Campanile appears faint and ethereal, creating a surreal, heavenly scene. Nearby cafes and restaurants offer a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal amidst the mist. 5. Markets (Photo 6) As you wander through Venice, you’ll come across boat markets selling fresh vegetables and fruits. If you’re staying in accommodations with a kitchen, consider buying some fresh produce to cook your own meals. Even on foggy days, Venice offers breathtaking views just by strolling through its streets. Embrace the unique charm and enjoy the city from a different perspective! ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Venice, Italy 📸 : Canon EOS 5D Mark IV ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎

Venice is famous as the city of water. We will introduce you to a night out in this fashionable city! It is a city full of charm, so we will only show you a few of them, but please use them as a reference. ① Rialto Bridge (photos 1, 4, and 5) One of the famous spots in Venice. This is the oldest bridge in Venice, spanning the Grand Canal. It is located in the center of the city and is a symbol of Venice. It is nice to look at the bridge from both sides of the canal, and it is also nice to look at the canal view from the bridge☺️ It is lit up from the evening to the night, and the area is enveloped in a more fashionable atmosphere! There are restaurants and gondola stations on both sides of the canal, and it is crowded with people at any time of the day. Enjoy a wonderful night while looking at the canal view! ② Near the Redentore Church (photo 2) An area on the south side of the island where the Rialto Bridge is located. It's about a 20-minute water bus ride away, and although it's quiet at night, there are stylish benches and you can see the center of Venice in the distance. The red benches are recommended at night, as they have an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in La La Land. It's perfect for relaxing and daydreaming. ③ St. Mark's Basilica (3rd photo) This is also one of the famous spots in Venice. It's lit up at night, and has a cool atmosphere. You can visit for just under 500 yen, so it's relatively affordable. It's a popular spot, so there are lines during the day. The delicate carvings are beautiful, so it's a must-see!! ④Around the Rialto Bridge (6th photo) As introduced in ①, the bridge itself is very attractive, but there are many gift shops around, and it's a lively place at night as well. Recommended souvenirs are accessories and small items made of Venetian glass, and Venetian masks like those used in masquerades. Please be sure to buy souvenirs that you can only get in Venice! Please use it as a reference. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Venice, Italy 📸: Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #Traveling Abroad #Europe Travel #Europe Tourism #Europe Travel #Venice #Venice Travel #Venice Tourism #Venice #Venice Travel #St. Mark's Basilica #Rialto Bridge

Bologna centrale - Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia Italian train station 🚉🇮🇹 🎫 It's more economical to purchase a round-trip voucher on the app. Be careful of the delay minutes and changes to the platform number, and get on. Take the water bus from Santa Lucia Station to the main island. Please do not feed the seagulls. 🎻Points for authentic city tours ・The low season is January, mid-May, and September. ・You can avoid crowds and experience events by going when contemporary dance festivals and art biennales are held other than the carnival. 🌉Rialto Bridge: Beautiful when viewed from a water bus. 🌁Bridge of Sighs: This name was given to the bridge because George Pyron depicted in volume 4 of "Child Harold's Pilgrimage" the last bridge where the young man looked out over the Venetian landscape through the bars before being sent to prison, and sighed. 🏰Doge's Palace: Open to the public as a museum. ⛪️St. Mark's Basilica: View the stories of the 12 apostles and Jesus depicted in Byzantine-style mosaics, Old Testament stories on the dome-shaped canopy fresco, and statues of the 12 apostles as a Catholic pilgrimage site. 🏛️ St. Mark's Square There is a beautiful cafe Florian with waiters in white suits and outdoor seating for canzone and live instrumental music.

Antonio Vivaldi, famous for "The Four Seasons," gave violin playing and musical education to orphaned girls here. 🛶 Gondola: There is a range of prices depending on the size of the boat, the seats, and the course. Gondolier is a traditional job limited to Venetian men, but there are only two women who have undergone rigorous training. 🍪 Recommended food ☕️ ・ Fritto misto and white wine from Veneto 🐟🍾 ・ Gelato 🍨, espresso and baked goods at a bar I missed out on the Chicchetti open sandwich. Nowadays, food that you can eat while walking has developed since I went there.

#0 yen trip February 2025 The fourth country on my European trip was Venice, Italy. After arriving at the airport, I traveled by bus. It was my first time riding a two-jointed bus, and I was excited. Some restaurants are open until late at night, so even if you arrive late, you won't have any trouble finding a meal. Venice is compact, so I think you can finish sightseeing in one day. Sightseeing gondolas cost 90 euros each and often carry 5 people, so it's expensive for small groups. If you're just going to cross to the other side, it's 2 euros per person, so if you just want to experience riding a gondola and seeing the city, it's a good value for money. It was a 2-3 minute ride, but it was quite shaky, so it was just right because it would have been tough if it had been a long ride.
