Venice Travel Guide: Gondolas, Glass-Blowing & the Best Spritz
We recorded this Venice travel podcast after several trips to the city, staying in both busy areas and quieter neighborhoods. We talk about what makes Venice enjoyable, what can feel overwhelming and how to plan your days so you see the best parts without getting stuck in crowds.
Episode Summary
Venice feels different every time you go. In this Venice travel podcast episode, we talk about the neighborhoods we return to, the canals that feel calmer, the bridges that lead to great food and the spots that work well early or late in the day.
We also cover what Venice was like during covid, the islands worth adding to your trip, why staying off the main streets makes such a difference and how the city changes once you know where to go. We share the food we had, the cafés we liked and the areas that felt peaceful even in busier seasons.
It’s a clear guide to visiting Venice without rushing and without sticking to the major tourist routes.
