Andrej G: Note: interior mosaics are highlighted 11:30-12:30 daily, it's the best time to get inside. Also they don't let you inside with a back-pack: either use storage facility nearby, or split into groups.
Andrej G: San Marco is more for guests and tourists, but Frari is true main Venice cathedral: lots of important historical figures are burried here, including Titian (whose masterpiece you can find in altar)
Campo dei Miracoli Cannaregio 6074, Venice, Veneto
Church · Cannaregio · 8 tips and reviews
Andrej G: Few tourists get here, and so they miss propably the nicest church in Venice, and maybe whole Northern Italy. So not typical for this place - and yet so nice!
Andrej G: Nice and really tasty place in Venice, for both pizza and Italian specialties. Owner of our hotel recommended it as 'I eat there myself!' - and he has a point; prices are OK, too :)
Andrej G: Not a typical tourist rip-off place, locals go here. Good quality food, reasonable price. Don't miss these geese! (Their name translates as At Geese :)
Sestriere Cannaregio 124 (Lista Di Spagna), Venice, Veneto
Café · Cannaregio · 65 tips and reviews
Andrej G: Fast-food Italian style: self-service restaurant with low prices, but excellent quality simple food. Close to train stations and has free Wi-Fi Internet, for that reason is crowded with tourists.
Andrej G: Good quality pizza, not expensive, close to train station, Wi-Fi Internet... You can also order pizza take-away and get free soft-drink (or beer for just 0.5€). Still, Ae Oche at Zattere is better :)
Andrej G: Grilled food (NOT fried! they use no oil) and fresh fruit juices/smoothies - tastes good, handy if you want a bite on the move. They're close to bus/train stations, get some hot food when you leave!
Andrej G: This is not another coffee bar, but rather coffee workshop, where you can get quality beans from different places, fried / milled here at the spot. Or get a subscription for 10 espressos for just 8€
Andrej G: You can't get too far from tourist crowds in Venice, but you may find places where locals come: this is one of them. Excellent quality bread and pastry, you can also get a breakfast here with a coffee
Andrej G: Best places in Venice are often right at the tourists path among dozens of rip-off places. This one is small, so ignored by the crowd; but friendly owner offers good coffee and pastry.. and Absinth
Ice Cream Parlor · Cannaregio · 46 tips and reviews
Andrej G: Although this is an ice-cream shops chain, the quality is really good and prices are OK. Here you may be sure you get ice-cream made of fruits, not some stuff from chemical lab..
Andrej G: New type of ice-cream: on a stick (not typical for Italy) - new place. Anyway, the quality is really good, and you can get many gancy covers / toppings - give it a try!
Andrej G: Another ice-cream and sweets chain, but still good quality. Being too close to San Marco square, they tend to sell you bigger portions then you've asked for, you've been warned.
