Guys, welcome to Venice!
So finally, here is my third and final post from Italy. This time it is from Venice, the most beautiful and interesting city I have ever been. During my vacation in Italy, we decided to visit Venice. We went by bus to Chioggia and then we boarded the boat straight into Venice. It was so hot that day, 40 °C (105 °F) so the fresh breeze from the boat was absolutely amazing. And what about the view!
Then we disembarked from the boat in Castello (the largest of the six sestieri of Venice) and went to Rialto bridge (Ponte di Rialto) which is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal. Unfortunately, this bridge was under construction when I was there so the picture is not so nice.
Also we saw these two ladies wearing these baroque dresses. I'd probably die if I wore it in that heat.
And then we went to explore the beautiful and mysterious streets. Each street and backstreet is so different but it looks the same that it's easy to get lost.

Harbor and St. Mark's Basilica in the back
Grand Canal
And then wonderful streets...
My favorite Balenciaga store
Old houses with flowers in the windows are so amazing
What is worth mentioning are gondolas. Unfortunately, I've never ridden in it. It is so expensive but I think it has to be an unforgettable experience. We also had a guide with us so she told us that working as a gondolier is handed down from father to son and production of one gondola is very expensive (about 40 000$).
At the end, we went to St. Mark's Square. I think you can not miss it when you're in Venice. You can find there St. Mark's Basilica, Ducal Palace, Marciana National Library and St Mark's Campanile.

I definitely want to come back to Venice. It is an amazing place with amazing history.
I'd like to go there for my honeymoon one day!
So guys, hope you enjoyed my last post from Italy!
