🏨Accommodation:
We recommend staying near Mestre Train Station 🚉. It's convenient to take the train to the main island, and the prices are much more affordable than on the island 💰. There are also more dining options, while the main island mainly offers Italian cuisine.

⛵Transportation:
🔹The main island is mainly accessible on foot 🚶♂️, so wearing comfortable shoes is important!
🔹Take the train between the two train stations 🚉 Mestre and S. Lucia. Buy tickets at the self-service machine at the train station for €1.45 💶 one way. The train ride takes 10 minutes, with a train every 5-10 minutes!
🔹Water bus 🚟: Buy tickets at the pier window or self-service machine. Transfer within 75 minutes for €19.5, one-day pass 🎫 for €25, two-day pass 🎫 for €35, three-day pass 🎫 for €45. We highly recommend taking it at night, as Venice is really beautiful at night 🎑!

⚠️Some tips:
▪️Whether you are driving or taking public transportation, we do not recommend staying on the island ❌. The hotels on the island are generally old, and there are many stone roads and bridges without slopes, making it difficult to carry luggage 😩
▪️The desserts in small shops have a high chance of being disappointing, especially the sweet ones 🙅♀️, but the various fried seafood is quite good
▪️If you encounter someone enthusiastically giving you bracelets, flowers 💐, or pigeon food, be sure to refuse!
There is a sightseeing bridge on the Grand Canal. It has a large passenger flow every day. The scenery of this bridge is also very beautiful. There are many commercial facilities on both sides of the bridge. The bridge is very high and many ships can pass through it.
The view of the canal from the Barefoot Bridge is average, and it would be more beautiful to take pictures at dusk. I used to think that this was the Bridge of Sighs, connecting the center of Venice. It is very eye-catching, with business opportunities all over the bridge, and tourists coming and going, making it very busy.
Because there are so many bridges in Venice, except for a few famous bridges such as the Bridge of Sighs, which I specifically went to find, I walked around and felt the other bridges. It's worth a visit if you don't want to see the hustle and bustle, there are so many people!
The old bridge across the Grand Canal is the closest to the train station, so it has a large passenger flow. You can also see many people carrying large and small bags climbing the slope with difficulty. Next to it is the gondola pier and the church. There is also a water bus station. Although the scale and appearance are not as distinctive as the latter two, it adds a sense of life.
The Barefoot Bridge is one of the four major bridges across the Grand Canal in Venice. You can see it as soon as you exit the train station. It is an arched bridge with stone steps on the bridge deck. Opposite the bridge is the Barefoot Church. It is worth a visit!
As we all know, Venice, Italy is a famous "water city", and bridges are a must-have product. The Barefoot Bridge is one of the most important bridges across the Grand Canal in Venice. Its name means barefoot monks, which comes from the famous Barefoot Church on the north side of the bridge.
