Quiet Nights,Beautiful Sights...Venice

by travelgourmet - last update: Apr 27, 2008

Overwhelming Charm

Isn't it romantic
Cruising into Venice is about the only way to get to St. Marks Square from a tourist's viewpoint. No matter how you arrive, via plane, train, car, or boat, you will eventually have to go by water to get there. What an entrance!
The sight before you is one that is hard to equal anywhere in the world. The overwhelming charm of water meeting buildings of exquisite design and magnitude is beyond words. You must personally experience the splendor of colors before you to understand the feeling. My wife's favorite city.

Pros:"Venice offers many wonderful sights in a compact area."
Cons:"the water has an off odor in the canals."
In A Nutshell:"One of the most romantic cities in the world"

 You very well transmit in your page the magic side of Venice and Burano. Believe it or not, I have not (yet!) been to Venice but will for sure follow you among the canals, on a gondola!

 I remember getting off the train in Venice and thinking oh my goodness, this is like a movie. It was so surreal. Lovely pages, lovely pictures. :)
