Romantics, pessimists, Auto-hater, Flaneure - they come at least once in their life to Venice. No other city was so often filmed, presumed dead, described, none other has so little ground under the feet and so many inundations. Film party, Biennale of the art, carnival are the big Events.
But Venice enchants, first of all, in the everyday life: on the fish market the salesmen sing an opera aria or the sellers of vegetables that skillfully drive their gondola full of vegetables through the boat traffic in the Canal Grande. Venice let the palaces, the innumerable bridges, the labyrinth of the alleys appear like an old painting from a forgotten time.
Only around San Marco the lagoon city bubbles like a busy metropolis. Pigeons peck here around grains from the tourists. The waiter in the café waits meanwhile for the next customer. And if the high water comes, he quickly reaches to bumf bucket and torn which stand here in winter always ready.
Cultural friends stroll between Peggy Guggenheim, sigh bridge and film party up and down. On the Vaporetto tourists, natives and office workers dream of a little place to the seat to enjoy the contemplative boat trip in the evening. A man with a chicken in pouch has found one of the desired places. Venice is just also a village, a myth, a tourist's case, but, first of all, an opera, a tragedy which begin every day new. Venice is like no other city in the world.
Ca' Loredan stands just a few yards away from Piazza San Marco and Rialto, right behind Campo San Luca. This lively, highly central location offers easy access to all the city's main tourist attractions. You can easily divide your time in Venice between visits to the museums and most famous sites in the city, and the discovery of the real city, exploring its attractive alleys with no real destination in mind, letting yourself be overwhelmed by the amazing scenes and treating yourself to a bite to eat in a typical, picturesque osteria.
