Introducing Venice to travel connoisseurs is like teaching a fish how to swim, so we will not try and do that here.
The breathtaking enchantment of this 100-island lagoon in the Adriatic Sea is attracting millions of tourists every year. Would you like to relish nature and its sensations? Here there are. You would like to dive in an epic fairytale of Gothic, Renaissance, and Late Baroque architecture, floating between turquoise sea channels? There you go. You would want to sit speechless and motionless at the point where natural and cultural supremacy overlap? Welcome to Venice.
You already know much about Piazza San Marco, Santi Giovanni e Paolo, and Rialto Bridge, don’t you? So, here is our shortlist of must-sees once in Venice – classics and off-beat gems included.
The Jewish Quarter is located in Venice’s Cannaregio district.
Between the 16th and 19th centuries, the city’s Jewish population was only allowed to live and roam within the borders of the so-called “Ghetto.” At the end of the 18th century, Venice was conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte – that’s when he decided to lift the gates of the city’s Jewish Ghetto and dropped the mobility restrictions on the local Jews.
Nowadays, the former ghetto is a historical quarter of Venice, where visitors are welcome to attend two synagogues, many kosher shops, the Jewish Museum of Venice, as well as some exquisite restaurants with excellent traditional cuisine, Jewish bread, and pastries.
The Grand Canal is one of the central water-traffic passageways in the city and undoubtedly one of Venice’s most widely recognizable symbols.
It is 3.8 km long and 30 to 90 m wide, connecting the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the San Marco basin. Meanwhile, its S-shaped course flows through most of Venice’s central districts and lines with over 170 historical buildings.
Sailing the Canal Grande doesn’t have to aim at a particular final destination. Except for means for traveling around the city, it is also a fascinating sightseeing opportunity that will take you from one side of Venice to the other and help you grasp its triumphant overall epicness.
No, we are not discussing William Shakespeare – not here, not now. The Speziere Of Venice was established in 1650 – it was the first pharmacy in Venice and among the world’s oldest ones.
Back in the days, pharmacies were not only medicine stores. They were more like salons for the aristocracy to gather and discuss sciences, arts, and politics. That’s why exceptional care was taken for their furnishings, decoration, and overall splendor.
Spezieria all’ Ercole d’Oro still preserves its full baroque opulence. It is rich in craftsmanships, details, accessories, and furnishings that, though renovated, are authentic and rather impressive. Nowadays, The Speziere Of Venice is home to The Merchant of Venice – a splendid boutique merchandising exclusive high-class and luxurious fragrances.
Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute is a Roman Catholic church built at the end of the 17th century, following the devastating plague wave that ravaged Venice a few decades earlier.
The facade of the Basilica overlooks the Grand Canal. It is accessed by an imposing flight of stairs that essentially seems to emerge from the water and then extends to the Sanctuary entrance. Vast and bright, the interior consists of the large section of the central dome under which the six side chapels open up.
The church has a magnificent outlook and a rich program for visitors and believers to attend. It includes prayers, pilgrimages, celebrations, organ music, and an in-house museum.
Original Venetian Masks are traditional for the annual Carnival of Venice, which continues for about two weeks and concludes on Shrove Tuesday. They are so emblematic for Venice’s culture that at some point, the city was even referred to as the “City of Masks.” In the past, masks were used on various occasions, usually as a means for shielding the wearer’s identity and social status.
Sogno Veneziano Atelier is a fine place to buy or rent original, authentic, and mind-blowingly beautiful Venetian masks and costumes for men, women, and children of all ages. Visitors at Sogno Veneziano Atelier are welcomed to attend various workshops, participate in a photoshoot, and enjoy a rich event program with a little something for everyone.
Costume and mask purchases and the Atelier’s event program are available online at the owners’ official website.
The Ponte dell’Accademia is among the four bridges that cross the Venetian Grand Canal. It is named after the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia – a post-secondary educational institution founded in the middle of the 18th century.
Nowadays, the bridge is a famous “love lock” location, where lovers attach padlocks with their initials, as a symbol of eternal devotion. Venetian authorities are not officially huge fans of this romantic practice, but as we all know – love conquers all.
If you are feeling a bit nihilistic lately, worry not – the Ponte dell’Accademia is a lovely sightseeing location, perfectly suitable for non-lovers as well.
At the end of the day, being in love with Venice is more than enough, even if you “love lock” it just in your memory’s happy corners. And for an unfading memory reserve, we’ve done a great favor for you all, capturing Venice’s glory and brilliance in HD.
