Venice

The converted grain house which hosts Generator hostel is located on the waterfront of the Giudecca island, across the canal and right in front of Piazza San Marco, Venice’s main square. Easy to reach from the railroad station by public water bus, Giudecca is the perfect place to take advantage of the ancient city’s unique landscape at sunset, while preventing from being squeezed by hordes of bewildered tourists.

And if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t mix with the crowd, the island itself offers more than one attraction, from the luxurious Skyline Rooftop Bar of Molino Stucky to the renowned Church of Redentore, along with many hidden gems definitely worth a visit.
