Venice's main water thoroughfare, lined with great Renaissance palaces, is a colorful and busy spectacle of gondolas and vaporetti.
Reviewed By Bandit-One - Lucerne, Switzerland
We have been in Venice a bunch of times. But still amazes us the same as the first time. It's just a lovely place to be. Countless sights, great food and no (car) traffic. The Canale Grande is one of the most famous sights in the city. And rightly so. You could rent a private water taxi, take a tour boat or just hop on one of the water buses. For us the water bus was fine. Drive along the whole canale or hop and off (buy a day-ticket). You will pass endless interesting sights. Starting from the train station (Ferrovia) the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Chiesa di San Simeon Piccolo, the Chiesa di San Geremia, Rialto Mercato and Rialto Bridge, the Ponte dell’Accademia, the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, the Punta della Dogana and at the other end the Piazza San Marco with the Palazzo Ducale and the Basilica di San Marco. And that's just the very big sights along the way. Of course you also can walk through Venice (we love it) and you will pass the Canale lots of times. It's also fun just to wander around without plan and getting lost in the beautiful backstreets of Venice. This time we were lucky to rent an apartement for a few day directly on the Canale Grande. With views of the canal from every room. Be it in the morning during breakfast or in the evenings when the lights on the canal seemed magical: We never got and never will get bored of that sight. Light or dark, day or night, sunny or rainy. The Canale Grande is a sight to behold. Love it - and we love this town.

Many famous and fascinating islands can be found on this large body of water located between Venice and the Adriatic Sea. Murano, Burano, Torcello
Reviewed By willjones75 - Manchester, United Kingdom
Visit the other islands, especially Murano and visit one of the handicraft factories where their incredible works forged in glass, or Burano with its houses of many colours is highly recommended. Torcello kinda disappointed me, compared to Murano, I would almost say not worth it.

Lago di Misurina is absolutely my favorite lake in the Dolomites. It is particularly stunning early in the morning when the light brings out the craggy contours of the Sorapis south of the lake, and the water is likely to be mirror smooth making for an unforgettable reflection. Misurina has a connection to the 1956 Winter Olympics which where based in nearby Cortina. Long before the days where a purpose specific venue was built for just about every event, many of the events were held wherever an appropriate environment could be found. Misurina was the venue for the Men's Speed Skating event. Temporary wooden bleachers to accommodate up to 8000 spectators were built on the North end of the lake near the Grand Hotel Misurina. The various events were held from 28 January thru 31 January. After the Olympics were over, the stands were taken down and the lake slipped back into relative obscurity. Pictures of the event that can be found online show that it is just about unchanged from then.
