If you prefer walking to water-based activities, don’t forget to find the narrowest streets of Venice. Ramo Ca Zusto and Calle Varisco are considered the leaders in this category. The width of the latter one is only 53 centimeters, so if you want to slip between tall old buildings, make sure no one is moving into your direction from the opposite side of the street. Otherwise, you might need to go back in the middle of your way – there’s not enough space for two people to pass each other on the narrowest street in Venice.
If you think that you’re well-aware of all important religious landmarks of Venice, you might be mistaken. Travelers keen on art will find it very interesting to visit the ancient church of San Fantin . It’s incredibly interesting not only because of its old façade, but also because of an installation, Post-vs-Proto-Renaissance, exhibited there. The author of the installation is Oksana Mas, a famous modern artist. Post-vs-Proto-Renaissance consists of 13,000 wooden Easter eggs, each of which is hand painted.
The picturesque Burano quarter is a no less interesting place for walking. It is located on islands, so there has never been a single car there. You will not face endless tourists as well, so it’s possible to enjoy an unhurried walk along canals, observe boats of local people docked nearby, and admire charming small houses with facades painted in all colors of the rainbow. The most attentive travelers will find several homerun restaurants that offer excellent fish dishes at affordable rates.
