🇮🇹 Gran Teatro La Fenice (Venice Opera)
I (re)visit the Opéra de Venise (La Sérénissime), the “Gran Teatro La Fenice”, a mythical place. All this is magnificent, baroque style, sumptuous decorations, the finally decorated royal balcony, the honorable loge and the magnificent portrait of Maria Callas. An incontournable place for all passions for opera and history. View this post on Instagram A…
🇮🇹🐟 Venice Fish Market
In the heart of Venice, near the famous Pont du Rialto, you will find the Pescaria, the Marché aux historic poissons de Venise, or pêcheurs and marchands proposing the hyper frais poissons and delicious fish in the lagoon, after the 13th century. The march is open all mornings, on Tuesdays and Sundays. View this post…
🇮🇹 Venice by night and Jewish Ghetto of Cannaregio
Back in Venice after visiting the islands of the Lagoon: Murano, Burano, Torcello, and Mazzorbo. Night tour of the city, the Doge’s Palace, the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Square, and the Caffè Florian (the second oldest existing café in the world, dating back to 1720). We then returned on foot (no choice!), passing through the…
🇮🇹 Murano (Venice)
🇮🇹 Murano (Venice) After Burano, I headed towards Murano in the late afternoon. Unfortunately, I arrived too late, meaning I couldn’t visit the famous Glass Museum (Museo del Vetro) or the glassblowers’ workshops. I took the opportunity to stroll through the picturesque streets of Murano, and especially: – The canals and brick bridges – “Basilica…
🇮🇹 Venissa (Mazzorbo)
Now, Mazzorbo Island, north of the Venetian Lagoon, accessible via a bridge from Burano. Very authentic and with few tourists. It’s home to the campanile of Archangel St. Michael and, above all, the Venissa vineyard, which produces the native “Dorona di Venezia” vine variety. You can visit the vineyard, learn about its unique history (the…
🇮🇹 Burano (Venice)
After Torcello, head to Burano by Vaporetto. It’s clearly the most beautiful village in the Venetian Lagoon!

A day tour of the islands of the Venetian Lagoon ! We left Venice early in the morning by Vaporetto to Torcello, stopping in Murano. For tickets, I purchased the Unlimited 1-Day Pass (25€) with the “AVM Venezia” app. All you have to do is scan the barcode at each terminal. I recommend starting in…
🇮🇹 Trattoria Al Gazzettino (Venice)
An exceptional dinner at the Al Gazzettino trattoria in Venice. We came as a group (11 without reservations) and were lucky to get a seat!

A rather famous restaurant: François Hollande, Ségolène Royal, Martine Aubry, Jack Lang, Matteo Salvini, and Luigi Di Maio…
