Here is a list of 10 more things to do with your family while in Venice! Have fun! 1. A
gondola ride! Is there another place in the world where to do it? No, no and no! My favorite places are: at Campo San Barnaba and at Santi Giovanni e Paolo. The price is fixed (80 euros per ride, for max 6 passengers), unless you require music of special routes. A slightly different experience could be to go across the Grand Canal by
traghetto gondola… cheaper, quicker, but something that the locals still do a lot! It costs 2 euros each person, and takes you to the other side of the city, ready to explore more!
2. The
Accademia gallery is the most important painting collection in Venice. It can be hard to go by yourselves, as it is enormous and displays hundreds of paintings. So this is my proposal for the kids to have fun and learn, and for the parents to enjoy a full museum experience:

3. One more place for the art lovers is the
Peggy Guggenheim collection. At first, it could sound difficult for young kids to visit such a museum, but please never forget that kids have no prejudice, and they will love to hear stories, to recognize things, to have a look at Peggy’s pictures and to see the tomb of herself and 14 dogs! You can ask for a tour of mine at the Peggy Guggenheim, in case you wish to be accompanied!
4.
Tiramisu tasting? Gnam! Most kids are super excited by the local tiramisu. And, for your knowledge, if your kids are not enthusiastic about coffee, there is gorgeous place that produces tiramisu with no coffee, in different flavors: cherry, pistachio… all to try!
