&
lovely.
Do you ever heard about Venice? A lot of movies, novels, even poems were sharing and describe the story of Venice well. William Shakespeare - the Merchant of Venice one of the famous opus.
Venice also renowned as "City of Mask", " City of Bridges" and ' City of Water". For sure, because geographical location of Venice- island surrounded by water and a lot of bridges had been built to connect every corners of Venice. But how about the nickname of "City of Mask"?
Hugely popular beach and home to the Venice film festival, the Lido is only 15 minutes from Venice proper (by boat of course). Summer time, arrive early or you’ll have no spot left on the beach, this place gets packed!
Murano Island
It’s nice to get away from the main tourist drag and Murano does just the trick. It costs 14 euro return trip to get here, but if you got the boat pass (22 euro for 3 days) then it’s worth coming here to get your money’s worth! The architecture is cool, the vibe is relaxed and it’s a nice place to wander around for an hour or two.

Venice have a special annual event that is Carnival of Venice. This Carnival ends with the Christian celebration of Lent, forty days before Easter on Mardi Gras, the day before Ash Wednesday. The festival is famed for its elaborate masks.
For this year, Carnival of Venice was themed on the 'Wonder and Fantasy of Nature' on 22nd February until 4th March. During the Carnival, this most magical of
cities will fills with a mass of masked party-goers - posing and preening,
dancing and philandering, in a slightly surreal re-invention of a great
tradition of the city. If you are in Venice, I strongly recommend you participate this fantasy event !! Dress Up like Venetian with Mask to have an amazing party.
Here are some activities and attractions can as a references for you all^^
Ride a Gondola
The quintessential tourist attraction and the most overpriced. A ride on a gondala is about 30 euro per person ($38) or 40 euro ($50) if you want to be serenaded too! The trip lasts about 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a 3 minute gondala ride to cross the canals, it’s the same effect, gives you a photo opp and only costs 2 euro ($3) per person!
Piazza San Marco
The main tourist sight in Venice. The Basilica Di San Marco is a beautiful church, huge and domineering. It’s free to enter but if you want to access the top floor, it’s about $3, well worth it. Get there early or you could be facing a 1hour+ queue!
Hit the original‘Venice beach’ at The Lido
Murano Island
Chiesa di Santa Maria della Salute
From Piazza San Marco to here, it takes about 30 minutes by walk and the views are great!!! Grab yourself a tourist map and do your worst.
P.s Venice Mestre is not Venice as we know it, it’s outside the canal-ridden Venice of your dreams, so don’t stay there!
