a particularly beautiful day in Venice
Almost more beautiful at night 😊

October 17, 2025,Wanderung in Venedig
Went on a sightseeing tour with friends, including Cemetery Island and Murano. The crowds start around 9:00 AM, and boats of 150 people drop us off every minute near St. Mark's Square, picking us up again around 3:00 PM. The crush in the alleys and on the vaporettos (waterfront buses) certainly causes many Venetians to leave the city. It's a …

Unfortunately I switched on Komot too late - started at the Lido and had already covered 2/3 of the Grand Canal.

The day or multi-day tickets for the vaporetti (of course valid for all means of transport such as buses or ferries in the entire metropolitan area) are really great and, above all, uncomplicated.

With the weather once again perfect (a pleasant 28°C), we went to Murano today and later through Venice again.
Murano is nice too, but I personally find Burano prettier.
Plus, you're obviously inundated with Murano glass here 😅.
And that's not really my thing.
But the island is definitely worth seeing.
In St. Mark's Square, I was able to take …

I wanted to see this beautiful city again. This time without the hustle and bustle and without the many other tourists. I think I managed that quite well.

Please remember the Venice toll, introduced in April 2025 - valid from May to June 2025. Tickets 🎟️ - here's the link: cda.veneziaunica.it/de/zugangsbeitrag

A "well-rounded" day in Venice.
We explore the area west of St. Mark's Square: Dorsodura on foot.
A detour to Giudecca, and finally, we circumnavigate Venice by vaporetto.

Showing Translation

Admittedly a "cheat round" but with the day ticket for the ferries a round to see Venice completely from the water side, detours to Murano, Guidecca and Giorgio to enjoy the view from the bell tower was the plan. On the islands and back through Dorsoduro there were still a few honest kilometers, but they can't be broken down exactly, …

Actually, it was Biennale Day 1, but since it was Monday and the Biennale was closed like all museums, it was an individual program with art. Spritz and wine
