The magic of Venice

I never get tired of Venezia. My parents (on this picture) live 45 minutes from it, so every time I go see them we go to Venice and it honestly never gets boring, it feels like the first time, every time. And I have been visiting it since I was a little girl every year (my grandma lived closed too it before my parents moved there from Switzerland).
The Gondolas, the magnificent buildings, the little streets with bridges everywhere, even the pigeons...how cool is that to have them eat out of your hand, at least I find it amusing.
If you had to visit one place only in your life time, Venice would be it....

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Magical, a place like no other, so much history, a city all on water
  • Cons:Kind of smelly, very crowded, water goes high in certain seasons
  • Last visit to Venice: May 2008

    I saw London Bridge in Lake Havasu, but this seems to be real Venice, not the one in California :)

    I love Venice even though, as you say, it doesn't smell very good. But it is like a fairyland for me. I would love to live there for a few months. They do take advantage though. I paid 15 Euros for a hot chocolate. What a shock. Always ask first.

    Nice tips. Sorry to hear about the rough time for your baby girl in the stroller. Cheers, Bill
