Venice in a single image
Being in Venice, or even living there, teaches serenity and keeping your cool.
What elsewhere would be a state of emergency might elicit a grumbling Dio cane from a Venetian, before he returns to his work.
One is content if the floodwater doesn’t reach the height of the sockets and there’s still a light on in the local bar.
This breed of people, with their stoic, cast-iron composure, makes a visit to the Pearl of the Adriatic a truly special experience on a human level as well.
Apart from that, as you can read in any travel guide:
Venice is undisputedly the cultural highlight of the Adriatic and one of Italy's most famous destinations: Venice - the city in the sea. A place where most people want to have been at least once in their lives.
The numbers alone speak in superlatives, and yet they say nothing about the incomparable beauty and unique charm of this place. And not just because of its numerous museums and sights.

A front-row seat at the world's largest open-air museum.
Everything is getting more expensive. So it's a real treat to find an affordable front-row seat in the world's most unusual museum: a spot at the stern of a vaporetto.
Get a day pass, board a Line 1 boat, and find a spot on the open rear deck.
Then you'll cruise the full length of the Grand Canal down to the Lido di Venezia, then back to Piazzale Roma, and then back to the Lido again.
Especially in the summer, it's very refreshing to feel the sea breeze on your face.
