|| The Floating City || Venice || Day 3 and 4 #Unchaineditinerant

Venice, Italian Venezia, city, major seaport, and capital of both the provincia (province) of Venezia and the regione (region) of Veneto, northern Italy. An island city, it was once the centre of a maritime republic. It was the greatest seaport in late medieval Europe and the continent’s commercial and cultural link to Asia. Venice is unique environmentally, architecturally, and historically, and in its days as a republic the city was styled la serenissima (“the most serene” or “sublime”). It remains a major Italian port in the northern Adriatic Sea and is one of the world’s oldest tourist and cultural centres.

Venice cicchetti (pronounced “chi-KET-tee”) are the local cibo da mangiare con le mani — food eaten with your hands (finger foods) — that the city has become famous for. But the cicchetti experience isn’t just about yummy hand-held morsels. The social setting is as much a part of the experience as the food. Venetians eat cicchetti at breakfast time, for lunch, dinner and a midnight snack — mostly with their fingers. It’s look-and-point food: no special mastery of Italian required. And you don’t need to wait to be seated to enjoy it. (That’s not even an option at some bacari.) Cicchetti are cheap, costing on average a couple of euros — or dollars, for that matter — apiece (a bit more for more substantial seafood or meat cicchetti). Six to eight make a meal, and the local wines served by the glass are affordable, too.

A Spritz (Austrian German: Spritzer, "splash" / "sparkling") is an Italian wine-based cocktail, commonly served as an aperitif in Northeast Italy. It consists of prosecco, digestive bitters, and soda water.

Piazza San Marco is the sestiere’s center. This square houses important landmarks like St. Mark’s Campanile and St. Mark’s Basilica.

The Doge’s Palace is another monument that is not to be missed in San Marco. During your visit, you will get to cross the Bridge of Sighs, one of Venice’s most well-known bridges.

If you’re looking for a good museum in this district, we recommend visiting the Museo Correr, which contains objects and works of art that reflect the Venetian culture and history. It is one of the city’s most famous museums and well worth exploring.

Rialto Bridge, Italian Ponte di Rialto, stone arch bridge crossing over the narrowest point of the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice. Built-in the closing years of the 16th century, the Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge across the canal and is renowned as an architectural and engineering achievement of the Renaissance. It was designed and built by Antonio da Ponte and his nephew, Antonio Contino, following a design competition in the city.
