VENICE BY NIGHT

Categories: Venice, What to do, What to see

Venice is one of those cities that transforms itself from day to night. A walk around the city in the evening is very different than during the daytime and usually there are many less tourists as well. It is a city full of magic and wonder and really breathes at night. A stroll through St. Mark's Square with it's cafes and musicians, a late night gondola ride with the city and it's twinkling chandeliers from Palazzo's to light the way, an evening dressed up to go to the opera or a tour discovering some of the spookiness of the cities former inhabitants can make your time in Venice even more special...
