In today’s post, I’m going to be talking you through 5 Hidden Gems of Venice. Some of these are from my own personal experience as I went in April 2017 and some of them are from other bloggers’ experiences.
The island of Pellestrina
Trattoria Alla Rivetta
We were looking for somewhere random to eat an evening meal with no idea where we were going until we came across Trattoria Alla Rivetta which was hidden down the side of a small bridge (literally a hidden gem!). It had a very small entrance so could be easily missed. We were seated with an amazing view of the canal and the gondolas going past, so we couldn’t have asked for anything better. The food we had was also divine. I can’t remember the exact name of the dishes we had but they were seafood (I have attached a photo below). I would definitely recommend eating here if you can locate it of course! The address is Castello 4625, Ponte San Provolo, 4625 Venice so good luck!
At the time I wish I had written down the name of the place as it took me literal hours to find it on google. I even searched for images of the cloth and plate designs, that’s how deep the search went so I was very glad when I found it.
You can see more information about it on TripAdvisor.

Arcobaleno Pigmenti

Walking in Venice is the first thing you will experience when visiting the city. Google maps still haven’t mastered the “best routes” in that little city and with all the little alleyways, the little bridges and the canal, getting lost is inescapable. I don’t think I went a day there without getting lost at least a few times. On one of my uncertain walks in the very big summer crowd, I found a little gem that was not on my radar before visiting the city. The window was the biggest draw for me and I couldn’t resist the inviting art supplies, so I went inside Arcobaleno Pigmenti. It is an Italian brand with natural, colourful pigments that I absolutely loved! It’s a fantastic shop for art lovers or if you want to buy presents for artist friends. It was one of my highlights there.
Murano

The small cluster of man-made islands to the northeast of Venice is the island town of Murano. Just a few minute’s water taxi ride from Venice, it is almost like a suburb but has an entirely different vibe from Venice or its sibling islands of Burano and Torcello. The three beautiful islands make for a perfect day trip from Venice.
Murano is famous for its glass art. Many glass factories give tours during their working hours. Some visitors purchase exquisite glass pieces to take or ship home and others take pictures and experiences.
