There are more tourists in Venice than there are local citizens, but that's not half as bad as discovering the city based on preconceived perceptions. Yes, Venice is a tourist trap, but there's much more to it than the historic center where most churches charge an entrance fee, and restaurants served up traditional with a price tag. Aside the usual attractions, add to your Venice guide smaller islands around the Venetian lagoon, or day trips to Lake Garda, Murano, Mestre and Lido.
