Punta della Dogana

Venice is world famous for being the "city of a thousand bridges".
The Italian city was built on countless wooden piles, so the different districts are surrounded by water. Probably the most famous waterway in the metropolis is the Grand Canal, which winds through the area in an S-shape.

Despite the €5 entrance fee, there were thousands of tourists exploring Venice alongside us. In the morning, in the mist that cleared briefly around midday, there were some beautiful moments. But in the evening you are more tired than after a day of cycling.

Our museum day: the Basilica and Museum of San Marco, the Museum of Natural History, and modern art at Ca' Pesaro.
And we enjoy being out and about in Venice – on the water with the vaporetti, walking along the canals, and exploring the picturesque little alleys.

Vaporetti are still great when you see the traffic jams at the gondolas😁

Line 1 runs from the Lido directly through the Grand Canal - stopping almost every few meters.
If you have a vaporetto with seats outside in the bow, you have the jackpot for taking photos or just a great view of all the beautiful palazzi.
