Venice to me is memories:
memories of canals, gondolas, churches, pigeons on St. Mark's Square, a fantastic view over Venice from the Campanile, narrow streets, a delightful snack and wine in a roadside bar - crowds as well as an almost empty St. Mark's Square - depending on the time.....

Canal Grande

Both my husband and I had been to Venice before, but this time it was our first time together - and it was the first time for me to travel with a custom-made VT travelguide! Absolutely fantastic!

We only visited for a day, but really saw a lot and enjoyed ourselves tremedously!

Fine tips and aerial views! Maybe the pigeons in St. Mark's trapezoid were on strike when you visited.

We are on our way shortly. Thanx for the tips. We'll look for the Scala Contarini del Bovolo. I love the "off the beaten track"...Tom
