Venice,
Italy
has a reputation for being expensive, but don't be discouraged: Many of the
city's most interesting sights are free. By spending the bulk of your time on
the places and experiences that are discussed in this article, you'll have money
left over for the things that really matter to you--whether your tastes run to
cultural attractions like the Doge's Palace and the Accademia art gallery or to
restaurants, bars, hotels, and shopping.
Most
of the sights on the next 11 pages won't cost you a single euro; in a few cases,
you can pay for options (such as an inexpensive traghetto ride across the
Grand Canal)
or you'll need to buy a waterbus ticket to get where you need to go.
