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 bĂ caro, traditional wine bars, for cicchetto and ombra, Venetian tapas and a small (usually only €1) glass of wine.
