Most people visiting Venice follow Google Maps from one crowded stop to the next.

I’ve spent years walking this city—not just as a local, but as a professional photographer on assignment.

Over time, I created a list of the places I actually use for client work, personal projects, and editorial shoots.

That list became something bigger:

📸 50+ curated photography locations

☕ 200+ cafés, artisan shops, quiet corners, and local gems

🗺️ Mapped, described, and organised into a full digital guide

And now, it even answers traveller questions on its own.

I recently enabled Rexby's new AI feature—a kind of “digital me” trained on my guide—that helps travellers explore Venice by asking questions directly.

It’s available 24/7, answers in my tone, and will soon generate custom itineraries based on my real preferences.

If you're curious what Venice looks like through the eyes of someone who works here—not just visits—it’s all in this guide:
