If you have never been to Venice, just a warning; you have to get beyond this (picture on the left), as well as the hoards of people with their selfie sticks, the street gypsies selling selfie sticks and the ever present coming and going of people with luggage to really enjoy Venice and see the beautiful parts of it. Be patient, during the day go to the more unknown area of Venice and you will find more peaceful piazzas and canals, one just as beautiful as the next.
Here is an example .. we were walking to the Jewish Ghetto, stopped to take a picture of this canal (since there weren't many people) .. and we suddenly hear a scream and a splash. A teenage girl fell into the canal on the right side of the bridge you see here. She was fine, but the gondoliers were quick to go over and check on her.
Evenings are wonderful. The hoards of tourists from cruise ships and trains have left and only the residents and people staying in Venice remain.
