The very name Venice instills a feeling of romance.
We dream of a bygone era where violins play in the background as Katherine Hepburn finds love in the movie "Summertime" for the first time on her dream vacation to the city of water.
For many, Venice is a once in a lifetime trip.
With a little planning you will not be disappointed.
When choosing a hotel in Venice remember that rates vary based on location and amenities.
Chances are it is the old world charm that attracted you to the city in the first place, so a fitting Venice hotel to match over luxury should be fitting.
You will want to absorb every step of the way visiting the glass and mask shops along the way.
Walking is a feast to the senses.
There are no motor vehicles polluting the city.
There is no hurrying about in Venice.
You will want to absorb every step of the way visiting the glass and mask shops along the way Taking your time along the narrow passage ways will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
No trip to Venice would be complete without a tour of the Grand Canal.
There are several canal tour companies.
Every Venice hotel can recommend and book one for you.
There are also two other options.
The most widely knows is the famous Gondola rides.
These intimate rides through quiet waterways are a must for any traveler to Venice.
Every turn brings new sights of wonder.
Another method is recommended after a day of walking the twisted alley ways.
Stop at any Motoscafi (water taxi) stand for pleasant boat ride back to your hotel in time for a delicious Venetian meal.
When dining in Venice it is important to think of the cuisine as a genre of it's own.
Not to be confused with "Italian" food.
Again cost is secondary to quality here.
Go for authenticity over pomp.
Traditionally you will start cicchetti at a counter of any bacari.
These are little hors d'oevres served with a glass of wine at the counters of pubs.
This will peak the appetite for an evening of gastronomical delights.
Do not plan on a quick meal in Venice.
There is no such thing.
The evening meal is an event to be savored.
Let the sights and smells be your menu.
Waiters are more than helpful in recommending just the right delights.
Don't forget the Prosecco, a sweet bubbling wine that goes with everything.
Buon Appetito! Regardless of what you see and do in Venice, you will leave with memories never forgotten.
