I'm Italian and had a chance to go back to Venice this past summer after 15 something years. I loved it, especially the lesser known corners and canals where you can meet the real Venetians.

Not only because there are more crowds during the summer, but Italian summers are very hot. The winter is a much better time to visit Venice, or anywhere else in Italy.

Even though you're right that the swarms of tourists caused it to be full of gift shops and market opportunities instead of a clean travel destination. Though I'm wondering ... which was the city you liked most in Italy ? Well, you had high expectations and maybe that’s why it seemed not so good.

Someday when you return, you should head out to Murano. It's a whole different world than Venice proper and was remarkable.

I loved all the little shops and we had such a delicious meal there!

The city is really charming to me. It has its flaws (like there's no one out at night and not much to do in the evenings) but I could just walk around for hours and get lost in all the alleyways. It's beautiful! Glad you finally made it :) Venice was my first stop on this trip. The city is really charming to me.
