Welcome to our Italian road trip. We began our journey from the Italian Alps in Piemonte
After visiting Lake Orta and Lake Como in the north
we drove to Venice. Driving to Venice is possible but not driving around the city
that's why last night when we arrived we had to leave our car in a car park
at the entrance of the city. The only way to get to the city centre of Venice is by walk or by water
good morning from Venice! we always wanted to visit Venice but you know when we saw mass tourism here
we always thought not the right time but now because of coronavirus there are not a lot of
ship cruises and there are not a lot of visitors that's why we are here
first thing first we are searching for a breakfast place and actually I think I found one
I'm going for croissant and coffee
you know what just happened? Usually, in most of the places especially in the UK, we pay when we order
and then we get our coffee and we go but in Italy, you order and you are at the till but you don't
pay till you finish. We had our coffee and our breakfast and we gave them dirty dishes back
but then we left and we were on the way suddenly we remembered oh my god we didn't pay
anyway we went back and we paid but god
Venice is made of 118 small islands which are connected by 400 bridges
this city is a UNESCO World Heritage site and you can find artworks at every corner of the city
you have some similarities
you should probably rush to visit Venice as the city is sinking at the rate of one to two millimetres every year
Most of us like hear the name of Venice over and over and we saw a lot
of photos but to be honest, I am so impressed even though I knew that I am going to a beautiful city
but still, I am surprised with this beauty I mean you should be here to see it like it's amazing
this is the main square in Venice san Marcos square I am so impressed
with the building behind me is so beautiful it's a really beautiful square
and there are some restaurants and Venetian live music is so cool
here is one of the busiest parts of the city right now, because of the pandemic it is a lot less busy
than usual before 2020 around 30 million tourists visited Venice every year while its population is only 50 000
Tourists were mostly day-trippers who didn't even have a meal in the city so not
adding much benefit to the local economy but still contributing to the over-tourism which is
slowly destroying the city. let's hope COVID_19 will become a turning point and Venice and its visitors
will move towards more sustainable and responsible tourism after the pandemic
just look where we are staying in a local area but this place looks like a museum
it's so hot. we came to the hotel just to rest a bit and also I got changed
I'm hungry and it's 2 30 p.m and we need to have some Venetian food
when I'm in Italy I always love to eat some Grissini. it's basically breadsticks you can
have it with nothing when you wait for food. I ordered something I never tried before the pasta
with shrimps and zucchini let's see how it is actually, it's a really nice combination I never
would imagine sharing with zucchini but it's a really great combination
I like the sauce and Bruno got salmon pasta I also want to try Bruno's food
it's good but I prefer mine
this is the right quantity of coffee this much
what did you buy? I bought two tickets for 24 hours
so it was 20 euros each, so 40 euros it's not very cheap it's just for a bus? yeah
now we have a ticket for 24 hours we are taking advantage and we are taking a
waterbus and we are going to visit one of the gardens in Venice
not many tourists come to this garden so it is the perfect place to see some locals
and walk around peacefully. In the next video, we are going to Lido di venezia
the only place where we can swim in Venice thanks for watching see you in the next video
