When in Venice, it’s difficult to identify the spots that Venetians love because the city is basically one giant maze with dead ends around every corner. It helps to know a local, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n
I met Shannon Kenny a few years back during a blogging conference. After that meeting, we followed up via email, social media, and our websites to share our thoughts on traveling in Italy with Children<\/a>. I was a new dad at the time, and her advice was quite helpful to me.<\/p>\n Nowadays she has an exciting new project, the Prontopia app, which allows visitors to connect with a friendly local in Venice (as well as Florence and Rome) for in-person help getting where they need to go in the city and discovering local places along the way.<\/p>\n I love Venice, as does anyone who has spent any length of time that impossible floating city. But one thing is for sure: it is EASY to get lost. I mean really<\/em> lost, like stuck in a labyrinth for hours on end. What’s more, it’s just as easy to get suck into hyper-touristy spots with no hope of escape. Don’t let that happen to you, as it will spoil your relationship with this magical place.<\/p>\n Instead, go where the locals go. And that’s where Shannon and her new app come into play. For a nice preview, here she is to introduce you to The Queen of the Adriatic; La Serenissima<\/em>.<\/p>\n The city of Venice is divided into 6 \u201csestiere,\u201d or neighborhoods, each with its own character. Although it only takes maximum 30-40 minutes to walk from end to end of Venice, the majority percentage of visitors never make it to the more local sestieri such as Cannaregio or Castello, where daily life and the living culture of local Venetians can still be experienced.<\/p>\n Venice\u2019s culture and cuisine is as lively today as it was in history, and visitors to Venice will have a richer experience visiting some of the destinations cherished and frequented by Venetians. Consider checking out some of these 10 spots Venetians love during your visit to Venice<\/a>, and surely you will leave feeling you are a little bit Venetian yourself, and likely will have made some new local friends.<\/p>\n Where to eat, where to meet friends for a drink, where to enjoy live music, what to do on a sunny day, what to do on a rainy day, these are the questions Venetians consider in their daily life in the city!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.Fondamenta della Misericordia is also a popular destination for local nightlife. If you enjoy jazz, you will love Paradiso Perduto<\/b><\/a>, on the Fondamenta della Misericordia in Cannaregio<\/a> — it is a cozy osteria and jazz club hosting various live music performers every Monday evening. The events book up quickly, so it is necessary to reserve in advance if you would like to attend both dinner and the show. Otherwise, you can arrive after dinner just for the music!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AUTHOR BIO:<\/p>\nSpots Local Venetians Love<\/h2>\n
