The most wonderful things to do in Venice

“Venice was our first stop in Italy. It has 26 miles of canals, and the narrow streets feel like a maze as you never know what you’ll find around the corner. We set off to discover the best things to do in the city and were amazed by its history and how people live here. Things you never consider, like the garbage trucks being boats. We ate a lot of the most authentic and iconic Venetian dishes, checked out Piazza San Marco, took a beautiful gondola ride, found the prettiest bookstore in Italy, and saw a concert that was out of this world."
