The island is beautiful. There are not many activities to do but it is still worth a visit for the scenery of the lagoon. There are beautiful churches and museums on the island. We love the water bus tour here, it is so beautiful.
It is a small and exquisite island, the island's most famous attraction, St. Mary's Church, very beautiful, feels like a legacy of independence, Hemingway also lived on the island for a while.
It is still a beautiful island. We went in the off-season, so there are not many people on the island. It is very good to take a walk and sit on the lawn. Some shops are closed. Generally speaking, it is more natural.
Brano Island and Torcello Island, today the entire Venice area is foggy, the visibility of the sea is not good, Brano lace and cute colored houses, Torcello is a quiet island recommended by locals, the population is only 100, because the atmosphere of fog is quite good. There is a desire to open a brain.
Torcello loves its pastoral style! The tranquility is in stark contrast to the noise of the colorful island, but Torcello is said to have once been brilliant and prosperous, the birthplace of Venice, and there are still many relics left on the island. There are only 30 families here today.
If you find Venice too crowded, take a break on Torcello Island. Once one of the earliest settled islands in the lagoon, but now a sleeping dead water. The old rectangular church is lovely and well restored, it is recommended to camp out. The views from Campanile Peak overlooking Venice and the lagoon make the climb even more valuable.
Most of the people who come to Venice are by train. Personally, it is recommended to live on the main island. It is much more convenient to go to the outlying island the next day, and the scenery is beautiful in the morning and evening. If you are by plane, there is a bus from Marco Polo Airport to and from the main island, 5 euros, and free with a pass. It is recommended to buy a public transportation ticket. Venice needs to play for 2 days. Before I went, a friend said that he was disappointed in Venice. It turned out to be with the group. Only stayed in the Marco Polo Square on the main island for a while. Of course, the tour guide was afraid that tourists would get lost. , Repeatedly emphasized that they are not allowed to cross 4 bridges, In fact, there is so easy to get lost, and each bridge is a different scenery, the main island is also quite large, it is very difficult to walk by the legs, water bus line 1 is a tourist route around the island.
