Matt and I spent a couple days in Venice in November 2012. Venice is a MUST DO sometime in your life. It is incredible. Venice is made up of 144 islands. We spent our two days there just walking, walking and walking. We tried to explore as many islands as possible. Below are some of our recommendations:
- Eat, eat and eat! We loved dinner at Hosteria Al Vecio Bragosso (see picture below).
- Take a ride in a gondola. MUST MUST MUST.
- Visit the Venetian/Jewish Ghetto. There is a very interesting history that can be read about here.
- Drink Prosecco and eat tiramisu near Piazza San Marco. It is totally touristy and over priced, but the area is so romantic and iconic.
Have a great trip to Venice!

This looks beautiful! I think I will add it to my bucket list!
How much did you pay for prosecco near Piazza San Marco? We paid €30 for two glasses of Pinot Grigio! Just about worth it as a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience.
I love the outer islands just as much as central Venice. Burano is my favourite with its brightly coloured houses. It’s about 45 minutes on the waterbus.
We paid around the same price! It really is just for the “once-in-a-lifetime” experience! I wish we had had time to go to the outer islands! They sound and look beautiful!
