That lion looks like it was drawn by someone who only ever heard about what lions look like.
That’s no lion, that’s a Manticore
It means it is an authentic gondola🤌
As much as Venice is a tourist trap and smells like feet, it is still a beautiful city and one of my absolute favorites.
Don’t go at the height of summer, and it’s far less likely to smell. May is usually pretty good.
Venice has as many tourist traps as any other old European city. But you can easily avoid them. It is not a tourist trap per se; there are many residents going about their normal lives.
My take too. I’ve talked people who wanted to skip it because of the tourism back into it. It’s too special to skip if you’re in the area.
Sorry Venetians.
Oh absolutely. For all it’s modern flaws, it’s still worth it. Though as someone else said, avoid it during the height of summer and it isn’t too bad. The first time I went with my family was in August and it was, interesting, but the second time I stopped through on my way to Croatia in December and it was pretty rad.
Lie on of zie on
I will now forever think of Venice as the place with less canals than Birmingham.
Oh so it hasn’t completely sunk yet then that’s encouraging
