Here are some “alternative” ideas that should be on your Venice wish list.
1. Visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Situated directly on the Grand Canal, this handsome palace was once the home of gallerist and art collector Peggy Guggenheim. And somehow it still is. Because today it houses an art museum. Works from Guggenheim’s private collection are on display. Among others, works by Picasso and Kandinsky, Dali and Pollock.
2. Go on an excursion to Burano and Murano
The colourful little houses of the small island of Burano have always enchanted tourists. Nevertheless, a trip to Murano must be on a Venice bucket list. Because here you have the opportunity to buy beautiful jewellery and decorative pieces of mouth-blown Murano glass directly at the source.
3. Shopping at the Mercato di Rialto
The Rialto Bridge is well known. It is an iconic landmark of the city. Nearby, the Mercato di Rialto is held every morning – except Sundays. Fruits, vegetables and fish from local producers go into the shopping bags of chefs and visitors. The Mercato di Rialto is one of the oldest markets in the city. It has been in operation for several hundred years.
4. Browse in the Libreria Acqua Alta
If you fancy an unusual sight in Venice, you should head to the Libreria Acqua Alta. Here, books are stored in waterproof containers, bathtubs and even in a gondola. After all, the next flood is always just a downpour away …
5. Scala Contarini del Bovolo
Really well hidden! It is an unusual but fascinating spiral staircase, from the top of which you have a beautiful view of the city.
6. The panoramic terrace on rooftop of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi
T Fondaco is the new commercial center in Venice that offers the best of the world’s leading brands. A visit to the Fondaco would not be complete without the breathtaking experience of the panoramic terrace which offers an extraordinary perspective of the lagoon city.
7. The only house in Venice surrounded by water on three sides
Have you ever thought about it that all buildings have only one side facing the canal? This is the only one (we dare you to find others!) With water that laps 3 sides. Worth a stop and a photo.
