A wander around Venice at 7am-ish in the morning is a very different experience. No tourists, just the locals getting ready for the day. It was definitely my favourite wander of the trip.
The Lanes of Venice
Venice is a quiet place first thing in the morning.
St Marks Square
How much nicer is St Marks Square at 7:30am in the morning compared to after 10am…

Venice
Venice is definitely a place to visit, though not in July / Aug when it is hot and packed with tourists.
Staying in Venice was the right thing for us, made it a lot easier to explore the place and enjoy the less touristy areas of the place, especially the restaurants.
Getting up “early” to explore is also a good idea as you get to see a different side of the place.
I will return as there is more to do and I would like to see the place when it is not packed with tourists nor in the high 30’s C (over 100F).
Time to board the Azamara Pursit and say ciao Italia.
