With its iconic canals, picturesque gondolas, and winding streets, it\u2019s no surprise that Venice is considered one of the most romantic cities in the world. But while the city is popular with honeymooners, it\u2019s also a huge destination for cruisers and backpackers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be obvious as to why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venice is beautiful, fun, and full of narrow streets and alleys to get lost in. It’s a magical place unlike any other. There are museums, palaces, historic town squares to explore, and endless gelato to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the city is also expensive and overtourism has become a real problem. No matter what time of the year, you\u2019re going to encounter crowds. In fact, if you come in the summer, it\u2019s going to be unbearable (and if you come when a cruise ship is docked, it\u2019s even more<\/em> unbearable!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean you should skip a visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can avoid the crowds if you skirt around the center of the city and head to some of the outer islands like Burano and Morano. Tourists tend to cluster in a few places and are easy to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This travel guide to Venice can help you beat the crowds, save money, and make the most of your time in this famous Italian city!<\/p>\n\n\n
