I took my first trip to Venice last month. I would be honest, I was a bit apprehensive that there would be too many people, too many touristy shops. While, it is true, near the attractions, there are too many people and a lot of shops, but it is so easy to find places to get lost. I have never come across a place that is so dreamy, so beautiful, and transports you to a different time. No motor vehicles are allowed, there is no traffic pollution or noise. Really appreciate the efforts to keep Venice as it always has been. Venezia has my heart and I cannot wait to go back. Sharing some photos from my trip:
