Italy Free Travel - Venice
During our free travel in Italy on February 10th and 11th, we visited Venice, a water city located in the northeast of Italy. Comprising 118 islands, it has been rated by various magazines as one of the '50 must-visit destinations in a lifetime.' The city relies entirely on water transportation, with no vehicles. We bought a two-day water bus pass, which allowed unlimited rides. Using it was simple - just open Google Maps, set your destination, and it will tell you which pier, platform, and boat number to take.
On the first day, we visited Murano, the glass island, and Burano, the colorful island. I preferred Burano with its brightly colored houses. There's a legend that fishermen's families painted their houses in vibrant colors so that their husbands could easily find their way home after fishing.
On the second day, we took a boat to the San Marco area, admired the historical sites along the way, and then leisurely walked back to our hotel, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant day.
For accommodation in Venice, it's recommended to book near the train station rather than further into the city. The roads are uneven, and there are many bridges, which can make carrying luggage quite frustrating.
