Venice during the day is inundated with day trippers armed with selfie sticks. However, once the sun sets and the tourists are back in the confines of their cruise ships getting ready to devour their cruise ship buffet spreads, a sense of calm descends over the city. That's the perfect time to step out for a long meandering walk without resorting to Google maps. Rest assured the quiet lanes, pocket-sized campos, elegant bridges and the gently rippling canals will be all yours.
