Venezia

We spent a long weekend in Venice. Woke up at 3am on Saturday and caught a 6:30am Easy Jet flight to Venice. The weekend was non-stop walking, eating, drinking wine, and eating - did I mention that we ate a lot?

Yes, Venice is touristy. Yes, Venice is expensive. But, Venice is also incredibly beautiful. There really is no other city like it. Don't forget to make dinner reservations - you won't get in anywhere without them. And pick up a map when you arrive so you can get off the beaten path and "get lost" in one of the most unique cities in the world.

Where we stayed:

A few places worth trying:
Vecio Fritolin - delicious Venetian classics with an updated twist.

Da Romano - On the island of Burano, this is a must. Try the goh risotto and you will not be disappointed.

You also must stop at one of the many bàcaro, traditional wine bars, for cicchetto and ombra, Venetian tapas and a small (usually only €1) glass of wine.
