I was there last month and still there in spirit. Will go back inshaAllah loved it so much. Europe is so beautiful, but America is home💕

Going in a week so looking forward to this

Gorgeous Venice... I, also, was just there, three weeks ago. I first visited there when I was 19 years old. I’m 68 now, and it hasn’t changed a bit! Friendly people, spectacular history and historical buildings. Although I had quite a bit of trouble keeping-up with the tours and our free time (I have COPD and degeneration of the hips), I need to return again before I die, to explore even more of this lovely city!

Thank you Rick for always sharing your deep knowledge. We have never been anywhere in Europe and we are planning to finally go and start with Italy. You books and these videos are a tremendous help!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video🙏❤👌

I should be able to give more than one thumbs up for this. I love u rick steves😢

Thank you Rick i have fallen in love with Italy so much. I now only spend my birthdays in Italy since 2015. Was in Venice, Padova, Verona, lake Como amd Milan and thoroughly enjoyed it last yr. Before that we did Florence, Pisa and Bologna in 2016 then Rome 2015. I will never go anywhere else. I just love it so much already planing on Umbria and rural Tuscany maybe back to Venice this year.

I had to smile reading your comment. I fell in love with Italy 35 years ago when i moved there. three years in the Friuli region. Next to Veneto. I cannot get italy out of my heart. i return every two years. Each return visit makes me love it more. There is 'something' there I cannot describe. My italian friends Italy is balm for the soul.

Thank you.

Amazing fund of knowledge

I got lost in Venice ☺️

Amazing presentation Steve, love it much. My daughter learned 3 weeks that my ancestry is in Verona....🇮🇹

I get a very strange feeling in St Mark's Squre the three times Iv'e gone. I fee I belong there. Made some preperations and research but never did. I would be so happy to live there for three years. Someone help. I have family in Monfalcone too, to go visit. but want to live there.

I have family also in Montefalcone and stayed there a few days in 2015, So peaceful and real.

if i can suggest you 50' min far from venice there is at in a litle tonn spilimbergo the most famous school of mosaic arts

the right words in Paduan dialect for new graduates are: "Dottore, dottore, dottore del buso del cul..."

It's a nice video, but to say that there's not a lot of art in Southern Italy, well... that's far from the truth.

I think he just means that southern Italy doesn’t have the same history with all of those wealthy merchants who used art as a way to show off their wealth and what not because that’s what people are looking for when they say “Italian art “ He does talk about southern Italian art in other videos about southern Italy

Nice try ! Unfortunately too much US-pronunciation which will not help you to get around and ask people (Italians as US people don't learn foreign languages ) BTW the remark of Southern Italy is far from the reality . BTW 2 : Venezia is NOT A ISLAND , it is 104 islands........Gondola : watch out the hour's , when there is low water it stinks like hell ! BTW 3 : new vaporetti (plural from Vaporetto , not Vaporetto's) have NO SEATS in the front !BTW 4: there are smaller nice cities near Venezia (Treviso, Vicenca , Asolo etc) not so far as Ravenna (which is not even in Veneto)

well. not really. as a young venetian myself, I would advise you to just look for someone in the younger generation. Maybe some don't speak it well, but all venetians have an inkling of english language, as we learn it in school. and also most people who work in shops or restaurants. many even know multiple languages, as it is quite common over here to be multilingual.
