Less than a month after changing trains at Mestre, I unexpectedly got to see the real deal: Venice proper.

It is a designer’s wonderland. It would also be the best city to live in (much beauty, no cars) if it wasn’t for the frequent flooding.

See the video I made for Ribis for the landmarks. This post contains the parts that didn’t make the cut.
