i was there for a week about 10 years ago; i could never orient myself around that city… maddening at the time, but almost enchanting in retrospect. in fact, it’s one of the first thing i tell people who are about to visit… embrace the spontaneity that comes with losing your way in venice

I couldn't agree more! You never know where you'll end up in Venice, and that's a good thing

I went to Venice a few years ago, and saw none of what you suggest. Time to go back. 👍🏽

I actually booked a trip to Venice last week so this is impeccable timing 😅🫶🏻

How do the old buildings survive having their foundation in the water?

That's a really good question.

I used to live in Venice during my studies. As a tourist, it’s chaotic and crowded; as a resident, it’s always empty, silent, and—though decadent—incredibly beautiful. I can’t explain this phenomenon, but ask anyone who lived there and they’ll confirm my version.

Wow, I would so love to see Venice one day. Thanks for sharing!

Isola di San Michele looks like a spinach brownie, but the kind of spinach brownie I would take a bite out of, which is rare.

I must put Venice on my European itinerary. Thank you for the lovely article, sir.

Venice, a serenely flee,

Dawn a canal so supreme,

It would bemean as in upgrade me,

A welcomed serenely flee,

Because to me the visit be,

Without recourse or remorse,

Just vehemently serene for me!
