Is it possible to explore Venice without long queues and unnecessary costs? Sure it is!
There are enough canals, bridges and old buildings for you to visit every day for weeks. Not to mention shops and cafes at every corner.
Exploring Venice on foot is a great idea. Leave behind all the guides and maps and enjoy your walk down the streets.
Everything is a "must see" in Venice. Check out the lines at some of the important touristic sites but don't wait for too long there. Step inside if the lines are not too big. If they are, just keep walking and enjoy it.
Although Venice is a complex labyrinth of winding streets and canals, it's not as big as it may seem. It is possible to walk the entire length of the city within an hour. You can also get onto the Number 82 vaporetto (public transit water bus) and go through the entire line so you can enjoy the sights of Venice from the canal.
Another of my favorite vaporetto rides is to take the Number 1 up and down the Grand Canal.
In fact, if you're on a budget I recommend you choose a vaporetto ride down the Great Canal rather than a gondola. Riding the vaporetto costs only a couple of euros, while a gondola ride costs over 100 euros. In addition, spending that sort of money for a gondola ride is a rather cliche thing to do in Venice.
There is so much to see and do in Venice simply by using the vaporetto and getting off to explore at stops along the way. There are lots of surprises around every corner, over every bridge and in every shop window. The Venetians are friendly, the bakeries are incredible and it is impossible to take a bad photo there.
