We visited Venice a few year ago and loved it! These are great tips. We made masks too and it was so much fun!
I have not been to Venice for many years but remember how much I loved it. So many photos ops! Were your children with you on this trip?
Awww! Such a beautiful city, country and trip! 🙂 It is my absolute dream date to have an evening in Venice having dinner, tasty wine and sail the canal! Thank you for the wonderful recommendations!
Wow! Beautiful pictures. Venice has been on my list for a while, and your pictures make me really want to get there. Thank you for sharing.
This would be a dream! Whenever I go to Venice, I’m for sure taking my sister because she speaks a little Italian. I wish it was all open to travel now!
Love Venice and your details of this city are so helpful. Haven’t been to Burano or Morano, maybe next time! Your pictures are beautiful!
