VENICE

WHAT WE LOVED:

  • I can hear the birds singing everywhere
  • I love the architecture, the small bridges over the canals
  • The villas & the palazzi (palaces)
  • Lido neighborhood and its coastal private homes
  • Lack of cars and traffic
  • Efficient public transportation, boats are quiet frequent and 24/7
  • Amazing galleries and museums

WHAT WE HATED:

  • Tourists, lots of them.
  • Boat taxi prices-Scamming taxis drivers
  • Horrible food & restaurants everywhere-over priced restos. This is not Tuscany!
  • Locals have terrible sense of fashion and style
  • Locals have terrible sense of music
  • Romantic my ass, try Prague or come off season
