I'll be visiting Venice next month, and I've watched dozens of videos about the city. but yours is by far the most detailed and informative one. the shots, the editing, the locations, everything about your videos is perfect. How do you not have 1m subscribers already? can't wait to explore the city while doing the things you have mentioned. PS: I also enjoyed your video about Milan, which I will also be visiting soon.
The sign of a great travel video is to engage the viewer and to hold their interest even though they may never had an interest in ever visiting the destination featured. Congratulations, I now need to add Venice to my bucket list.
Ayeee thanks so much Steve, your words put a massive smile on my face! Thank you! Personally I always feel creatively charged after visiting Venice so I'm sure you will like it too!
Thank you so much Kelli, I think I fell in love with this profession and the craft even more after my research! I’m so so glad it has resonated with you too!
This is really such a good quality video in so many ways. WE will be in Venice in May 2023 for 10 days. Me and my wife fell in love with it and enjoy the off hours. Heading out at 4:30am - 5:00 shows an amazing Venice that few people get to see. Your suggestions are spot on for things to do. Thanks for all the work you put into this!
Appreciate your lovely words Richard. Venice at sunrise is something that I wish everybody could experience - this is the only time you truly get a local feel. 10 days in Venice sounds wonderful, are you planning to visit the nearby island or just staying in the city?
@@ClassicPolly We rented an apartment near the Rialto bridge before Covid hit. This time we have an apartment near Campo Bandiera e Moro. We have a great terrace and in a section of Venice we have not spent much time in. I think we're most likely going to do the Vespa Prosecco trip but other than that we're in Venice for the 9-10 days. Venice is still very magical to us. We also met a local guide that's going to show us around a bit but other than that, we don't really mind getting lost. Pretty easy to find your way back from anywhere. Thanks for the videos! Be well!
Thank you so much for your thoughts and inspiration. I've been visiting Venezia for over 40 years and have seen the progressive decline of the city and its people. While I may not share your opinions, thanks to your recount I can see this place in a fresh new light. You have a genuineness and originality about you that is priceless. (It shows in all your vlogs.) Most of all, thank you for the respect you give to the destinations.
Awwww Adriana thank you so much for your kindest words! I feel like Venice has SO much history and so many cool little things that I've completely missed during my 4 times there. Once I did some research, I had so much more appreciation for the city. I literally fell in love with Venice all over again and frankly can not wait to visit it for the fifth time!
Thank you very much for sharing. Your channel deserves more subscribers and views. You are very good at what you do. I am definitely using your videos as guide, we will be in Italy for a month in Sept.
Awww Loti, thanks a million for you kindest words, it really does mean a lot to me! I’m super excited for your trip to Venice. Are you planning to visit any other Italian cities?
YES! It's been a few months since a classic polly video came out, but a new one is finally here! Love your content and your commentary and your editing skills get better and better. Been a subscriber since the Amsterdam videos, keep up the amazing work; no pressure though, release videos whenever you're happy and able to :)
Ahaha...yeah it's been a few hot minutes since the last release. Thanks so much for rocking up here every time there is a new video - it's honestly cool to "see you" in my comments! oh, maaan Amsterdam feels like a lifetime ago, thanks so much for being here. Also, I have already shot 3 videos just need to sit down and edit them. Usually its my crazy ideas and imagination that are the reason why it takes forever to get videos across the finish line.
@@ClassicPolly haha yeah no worries, the videos take as long as they take, just hope you enjoy the process of it all along the way and have fun with it. I subscribed in the beginning for Fujifilm gear stuff, but now I'm honestly just as excited to see you now go on adventures and share your own experience about the journey. It's always refreshing seeing something from someone else's perspective. Plus, your videos always make me want a cup of coffee!
You are going to have a fab time there Daniel. Just don't forget the sun lotion to take with you. I learned it the hard way on our last visit in March.
My pleasure Alicia. Oh, that's fantastic! September is a great time to be in Venice, it's not hot anymore and there are fewer tourists. We enjoyed Venice in autumn a lot :)
When you mentioned Canaletto at Gallerie dell'Academia, I thought it was a slip up, as it is commonly broadcasted that the only "Canalettos" in Venice are at Ca' Rezzonico. So I checked and you're right! Thanks for the tip! There are 2 or 3 of them at the Galleria.
The quality and full details about this video was superb.. I'll be visiting Venice by the middle of November hopefully the weather will be a little bit friendly🙂.. Bravo.👏
Awww Katherine, this just put a massive smile on my face. I'm so happy that the video was helpful to you. I have another video about Venice, the 5 spots next to the Grand Canal with great views. Perhaps this is something that will be also helpful to you when planning your trip ;)
Hi Polly! Thank you very much for your video. I've never been in Italy before this July. I thought, Venice is a boring city, for some reason, with a lot of unpleasant odors. We stayed in Treviso (because our flight was here, it's cheaper, it costs 3.80 EUR only for Treviso - Santa Lucia trip on train), and it was good option to start investigating Italy, see their trains, people, life in not-a-very touristic city (but we also love Treviso, it's very cozy). Did you ever mention that Venice is a city of smells? Wood, bricks, pizza, water, literally everything here smells so "colorful" while you're walking around the city. We really felt in love with this city. But we did not see Venice at evening, at early morning, at night, because of our hotel's location. We checked main island almost fully (with a couple of churches, some museums). It was so amazing that we decided to visit this city once again soon. That's why I'm checking videos about Venice :) And your video is the best, you're very attractive person with good speach and good manners. Thank you for this content!
Thanks for the great video not watched it all but we will be there on Friday 19th August in 2 days time. Can't wait. I don't care how much a coffee costs at piazza st marco just to tick it off the list is something I can't wait to do.
I loved this video. I'm heading there for 4 days then to the Greek Islands in Sept.. Any must do rooftop bars or restaurants, champagne or prosecco tastings, unusual not meantioned experiences? Also, what to wear in Venice when using a carry on in Sept and also having to dress for warm weather in the Islands. Sounds like it is worth paying from the airport to your hotels front door. Thank you so much for the great informitive video :)
Happy you enjoyed this video Debi! I have a second video about Venice (The Grand Canal - 5 spots With Great Views). Feel free to check it out - it might answer your rooftop bar/restaurant question. We were in Venice in September 2020 and it was very warm. I was wearing summer dresses during the day and had a jacket/light sweater for the evening. Once the sun sets, it gets pretty chilly. Being so close to the sea, the weather in Venice does change quite a bit. Temps might drop quite considerably overnight, you just need to keep an eye on the weather app. Hope this helps :)
Hey Don, I think I've covered all the main bits in this video. If anything, stay hydrated and keep away from the midday sun whenever possible. I have also released a guide about Venice if you need a pocket helper during your travels. Link in bio ;) TA!
Cheers Tina, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I would say museums and major restaurants do accept cards! Small coffee shops and cafes would prefer cash though 😉 I’d always carry at least 50 eur (in small notes) with us just in case.
The gardens are free to access and I believe you should be fine to have a picnic there. If you are not allowed to be on the grass there are plenty of benches where you can sit and have your lunch!
Great videos of Venice but chill with the Literally! When you say people's heads will literally explode it means that brains and eyeballs and skull fragments would be all over the walls and streets of Venice.

Venice is the most beautiful city in the world
Nice to see you back, another cracking, informative film, don’t leave it so long 👍👍👍
Cheers David, it really does feel great to be back. Will try to not disappear for long again, got loads of footage shot- just need to edit it now!
@@ClassicPolly 👍👍👍
I love your passion about Venice, and especially enjoyed the history of the gondolas and Gondoliers :) Thank you.

Great style to the video.
Loved your video
Great video
Going on the soccer game at noon and then I can do that and friend and friend 🤣🤣

How much can you use credit cards versus cash in Venice? Thanks -- great video!
Cheers Tina, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I would say museums and major restaurants do accept cards! Small coffee shops and cafes would prefer cash though 😉 I’d always carry at least 50 eur (in small notes) with us just in case.
Is it allowed to do picnic in Giardini Reali? do they have entrance fee?
The gardens are free to access and I believe you should be fine to have a picnic there. If you are not allowed to be on the grass there are plenty of benches where you can sit and have your lunch!

Great videos of Venice but chill with the Literally! When you say people's heads will literally explode it means that brains and eyeballs and skull fragments would be all over the walls and streets of Venice.
Haha, I know it's a parasite word of mine! Also, that would be a pretty scary scene indeed lol!
At the end you said to sit on the steps of Basilica - I could not hear the next word. Could you tell me what it is?
Sure, it’s Basilica sell Salute!
@@ClassicPolly Thank you!!
@@nealdavis6374 Sorry just realised I have misspelt it completely. It's Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute or simply the Salute!
@@ClassicPolly Thank you so much!
Galileo did not use the bell tower, it collapsed in 1902, he died in 1642! Why would you say that? The tower is clearly not that old.
Best thing to do in venice? Stay more than 48 hours.
Great video but Titian is pronounced like Ti-shn not Tit-ian.
