As our wise gondolier said, “It is different to say I visited Venice, and I saw Venice. You must allow your self to get lost to really see the city.” This is exactly what we did on accident upon arrival to Venice. After checking into Hotel Danieli, we got a map from the concierge with directions. After losing the map a half hour into our exploration, we chose to let ourselves create our way. We wandered over beautiful bridges and through fresh markets! We lunched at a small canal-side restaurant and then spent a good 2 hours “lost” until we found a ferry station. We hopped on the ferry, hoping it would take us to another stop where we could get a new ferry to head to Burano. To our surprise, the ferry stopped right in front of our hotel! So, my number one tip for Venice is: get Lost! It is much cooler to really see the city and get away from all the tourism!
