Venice,
Italy has a reputation for being expensive, but don't be discouraged: Many of
the city's most interesting sights are free. By spending the bulk of your time
on the places and experiences that are discussed in this article, you'll have
money left over for the things that really matter to you--whether your tastes
run to cultural attractions like the Doge's Palace and the Accademia art gallery
or to restaurants, bars, hotels, and shopping.
Most
of the sights on the next 11 pages won't cost you a single euro. In a few cases,
you can pay for options (such as an inexpensive traghetto ride across the Grand
Canal) or you'll need to buy a waterbus ticket to get where you need to go.
