Some people say it's better not to come here in summer, mainly for two reasons: the smells and the tourists. In fact, Venice is crowded in summer, and the high temperatures make the smells above the canals even more intense. However, it is difficult to expect that a town built on marshy islands, which was once a fishing village, smells different than it does. And it is hardly surprising that in such an attractive tourist center it is crowded in high season. And Venice is beautiful without a doubt, even in crowds or in bad weather, it grabs the heart and steals the soul.
