Although Venice is known to be one of the most expensive cities in the world, there are things you can see and visit for free. Here are the most interesting ones not to be missed.
The Jewish Ghetto
One of the oldest in Europe, a few steps from our hotel, the Ghetto can be visited free of charge, discovering corners such as the Banco Rosso in Campo del Ghetto Novo.
Acqua Alta Bookshop
Filled to the brim with books on shelves, boats, tubs and even a gondola, with a small courtyard housing a staircase made of books.
Basilica of the Madonna della Salute and St Mark’s Basilica
Two of the city’s most famous churches, both free to visit, though a guide is recommended for St Mark’s given the many Byzantine mosaics inside.
Fondaco dei Tedeschi viewing terrace
The panoramic terrace on the top floor offers a breathtaking 360° view over the roofs of Venice and the Grand Canal, accessible free of charge by booking online.
