Venice is a beautifully romantic city. I went there while it was raining a little bit and the rain just added more to the beauty of the city. The city and the island nearby look surreal. It’s a city for the poets and the artists of the world!

When I was in venice i really felt joyful because that day the football team of venezia won some match and everyone was cheering and on their boats with flags and dancing and playing songs loudly. In Venezia you need to walk a lot and the boat ride must do in the day not in the night it’s best in the day! around 4-5 pm

We were staying in an apartment in Dosoduro. You can walk everywhere. Around end March ,beginning April (before easter) there aren't many tourists. The prices in the supermarkets are really good. I recommend staying around the Accademia part of Venice. Because it's quieter and you find more affordable restaurants and supermarkets.

Walking through the narrow streets crossing small bridges and watching the gondolas on the canals was an unforgettable experience the atmosphere felt magical especially in the evenings when many restaurants had live music playing And it was really romantic and fun ✨ I would love to go there again but ofc with my future boyfriend 🗣️🫶🏻

Very quiet at night as most tourists leave, however the large population of contract and port workers who are largely male and transitory consists of waves of anonymous working age men that have no plans to remain longterm, which can feel unsafe, like with any port city

venice is a very safe place, just be aware from pickpockets but over all it’s a nice place to stay to enjoy the Venice architecture and the bacaro tours( it’s a tipical Venetian thing to do, get to one bar to another and get drunk)

Venice is in pretty safe. Of course, at night, u have to pay attention wherever you wanna go. As the other city. In particular, in the small "calle" check every time you enter the street before go and it s better if u are with someone at night, 2 people is better than just one.

i’m very scared to walk after the all movies that i watched. but also there are some teenagers can be angry or drunk, so especially at night have to be careful abt that. water and bridges sometimes gives a scary vibe
