If you have ever visited this blog before, you know this is my favourite place in the world. If this is your first time here, you have just learnt one of the most important things about me. I’ve been in love with this city since I was a child. And the love story continues…
Getting lost in Venice is something everyone has to experience before diying. Forget the hordes of tourists and focus on the architecture, the history and the unique personality of the city. Avoid for once Piazza San Marco and head to areas like Castello or Dorsoduro. Wake up at dawn and visit the Rialto Market. Plan a day trip to Torcello. Visit the Venetian Guetto. Buy a pair of gloves at JB Guanti. Mingle with the locals during aperitivo in the square next to Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo and don’t forget to come back for one of the best pizzas in Venice at Pizzeria alla Strega (Barbaria delle Tole 6418). Visit at least three churches. Enjoy a romantic dinner at La Oliva Nera. Respect Venice and don’t come here in a big cruise. They are really damaging the city. It’s a jewel. Treat it accordingly.
The first time I went to Venice it rained everyday but that made it more moody & magical! I dont think there are many places that could happen!

Hi Becky! Venice is always magical, isn’t it? Have you ever visited in Winter? I would say that my favourite time of the year in Venice is November!!! Almost no tourists, the mist, the cold weather, the lonely streets…
