Highlights: 5 More Things to do in Venice<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

1) Quality Gelato<\/h4>\n

Instead of looking for a vendor around St. Mark\u2019s Basilica<\/a>, seek out an artisanal shop. Gelato should be hand-churned using fresh ingredients, so avoid anything that looks to have food color added, or that appears to be whipped\u2014this is likely mass-made. Gelateria Alaska in Santa Croce is known for the real goods, or seek out a Grom Gelato. This chain is known for quality.<\/p>\n

2) The\u00a0Rialto Bridge<\/a><\/h4>\n

The bridge itself is beautiful, but cruising by the Rialto is a great way to take in the sights of Venice. There\u00a0are hundreds of bridges and canals in the city, each with its own character, so don\u2019t be afraid to wander.<\/p>\n

3) Restaurants around\u00a0Piazza San Marco<\/a><\/h4>\n

The restaurants and street hawkers around here are experts at feeding hurried travellers.\u00a0For an authentic snack done the Venetian way, set out and find a bacari. These wine and snack bars serves chicchetti (small plates) and drinks, and are a very common way to take the evening meal, usually between 5 and 8pm. Inexpensive, and by virtue of their size intimate and social, bacari will introduce you to real Venetian dining culture.<\/p>\n

4) Venetian architecture<\/h4>\n

Put away the check-list of must-see sights and just wander the Venetian streets to really take in the flavour of the place.\u00a0Some of the lesser-known noteworthy structures in the city include the Women\u2019s Prison<\/strong> on Giudecca Island, which among other things, operates a market.<\/p>\n

The former shipyard Arsenale<\/strong> in Castello is a like a miniature city unto itself, and contains loads of nautical history (including the Naval History Museum).<\/p>\n

The Jewish Ghetto<\/strong>, just over the Cannareggio canal, dates back to the 1500s; indeed, the word \u201cghetto\u201d comes from this very place.<\/p>\n

For those interested in churches, there is the Gothic Santa Maria Mater Domin<\/strong>i in Santa Croce which houses a small collection of exquisite painting, or Vivaldi\u2019s childhood church, San Giovanni<\/strong> in Bragora.<\/p>\n

5) Day Trips to Venetian Islands<\/h4>\n

Venice is a cluster of islands and each island has its own character.\u00a0Burano is a popular tourist attraction in Venice but there are more istlands to visit.\u00a0Murano is a short vaporetto ride away, and it\u2019s the origin of the beautiful blown glass arts. The monastery and church on San Giorgio Maggiore date back to the 1500s, whereas Sant Erasmo is a bucolic farming community offering a peek into a very different side of the region.<\/p>\n
