VENICE & BURANO, ITALY 🇮🇹 DAY 1, 2:
VENICE, ITALY 🇮🇹- IT’S A WONDERLAND:
A trip to Venice is very exciting regardless of how many times you come here and Visit this beautiful wonderland. The architecture, the back waters, transportation and the beautiful century old buildings will blow your mind off. Each and every spot in Venice has so much architecture in it. A city that is build on backwaters to protect the rich Romans from the Barbarians. The water was basically used to protect the people from horses entering the city. Today it’s a magical wonderland and a tourist Mecca to see the architecture of how it’s build and it’s uniqueness.
As soon as you land In Venice you will be taken for a surprise... The water taxi ride from the airport is something you have to experience. It costs 120 Euros from airport to the mainland Venice... one can experience a ride of your lifetime in those beautiful water taxis... for cheaper option you can ride a public Water taxi but it takes a lot of time.
In Venice booking hotels are challenging during the peak holiday season getting a good hotel is difficult... you can either book well in advance or look for AIRBNB.. I recommend that you stay in San Marco or Rialto area... it’s packed with lots of action, tourist, shops, Gelato Ice cream shops and Wine bars ....
The best experience in Venice is to walk in the gully by the water and get lost... shopping in Venice is awesome. They are famous for Glass ornaments and anything to do with glass and the Venetian mask.
St Mars square is the center of Venice and it has it all. From sit out restaurants, live music and pigeons... a basilica and Gondola ride ... to me it’s the most photogenic place and a very attractive place one can visit....
There is a new observation deck near the Rialto bridge area. If you ask for the shopping mall in Rialto they will guide you there. You can climb the top of the terrace and check the view of the whole city. It’s just mind blowing ....
Wine is very famous in Italy 🇮🇹 and it’s all over the country... wine 🍷 bars serve quality wines at a very reasonable price (many times cheaper than water 😀)The sides so called as Tapas are served for free in most of the wine bars in Venice ... you just pay for the wine ... this gives a very social environment and gives you a chance to hang out with locals and others around you ...
I am a big fan of Venice ... it’s a wonderland that offers a lot for a every traveler. It’s been filmed in various movies... The Grand canal in Venice is an outstanding place to take great pictures... If you get an opportunity do visit Venice ...
BURONO, ITALY 🇮🇹- A COLOR THERAPY:
Burano is a one hour boat ride from Venice... The speciality of this place is the colorful buildings that they have. Every building is painted in different color....
As soon as you enter Burano you need your camera to be ready. You cannot stop taking pictures... the cute shops in the Main Street are classy and very reasonably priced .... you can stroll through the lagoon and experience one of a kind of experience....
As Burano is a fishing village you get very high quality sea food... the striking colors will get your attention. While doing Burano don’t take a Tour operated by someone. You can catch a boat from St Marco for 7.5 Euro and it take a good hour to get there... you can spend a good 5 hours in the town.... it’s makes a good day trip from Venice .. lots and lots of movies have captured the songs in BURANO.....
If you are a shopper who likes street shopping this place is a treat. After enjoying the colors you can sit back and relax in numerous cafes that they have. The most famous one here is Calamri and hot cup of Italian Coffee.. I highly recommend a visit to Burano if you are in Venice and it makes a perfect day trip.
