Haha thank you so much Elisabetta! This guide has been online for a while now, despite the editor within me being horrified I had the incorrect spelling, the fact it translated to ‘Saint Chicken’ makes it so much better.
I’ve adjusted it now 🙂
You’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, it’s somewhere I always treasure having the chance to visit a number of times…especially now with travel being so restricted!
Thanks again!

Hello Lisa!
Thank you very much for this post. I’m from Venice and I found it very accurate even from my perspective.

Please notice that the actual name of the area is “San Polo”. I suggest you to correct it because “pollo” in Italian has a different meaning, so basically we read “Saint chicken” 😀

Beautiful photos. Venice is my home and you captured it in an honest authentic way.
Good job.

In reply to Brent. Hi Brent, great to hear! I LOVE Venice so always recommend more time than less. If you had more time I'd suggest visiting Burano for a day :)

Fantastic resource from a photographer’s perspective. Heading to Italy next year for our 25th anniversary. Trying to decide on 2 days or 3 days in Venice…your recommendation? Thanks so much!

I love your photos and I love your posts…and finally I’ll be able to use your location guide! I’m visiting Venice in August and I’m so excited that hopefully I will be able to get some really nice photos with your advice 🙂

Stunning photos. Anyone visiting Venice, if you have enough time, get on a boat and head to Burano. The journey itself is lovely and Burano is just amazing. I think you need to set aside a whole day to make it worthwhile. I proposed to my wife in Venice – a very special place. Lastly, there is a festival once a year where everyone wears masks – Venice is crowded at this time but the outfits and masks make for really good photo opportunities.

In reply to Kelv. Hi Kelvin, I hope you had a great trip to Venice! Did you end up getting lost in the streets and finding beautiful canals and alleyways to photograph? Great to hear my guide helped a little!

In reply to Ben Abel. Hi Ben, exciting to hear you're off to Venice! You'll find most cathedrals or museums either won't allow photography in general or won't allow flash photography. In either case there will be a sign displayed at the entrance signalling which if any are allowed. A lot of the times it's simply just no flash so you need to make sure your automatic flash is turned off but you're still fine to click away with a higher ISO to adjust to the lower light conditions inside. Have a great trip!
