Visiting Venice the second time around as well as the Venetian Islands was definitely better than the first. It was a lot less crowded and I really loved one of the islands - Burano - for its candy colored houses and sweet treats.
Here's all we visited!
Venice
Doge Palace
St. Mark's Basilica
Gondola Ride
* make sure to ride with 5 of your friends (six people max can ride & can split the $80 with each other!)
Grom Gelato
Such good flavors & rivals one of my Florence favorites: Edoardo's
Antico Brolo
We went to the cutest restaurant in Padova, near our hotel, the manager (seen above) was such a character taking our order and the food was amazing! If you're willing to spend a little more than normal, this place was a great find!
Burano
All the houses were so colorful and cheery here - I loved visiting it!Burano
It was so quaint and the food was great, definitely recommend a trip if you haven't been.
There was a line constantly out the door so we knew it had to be good (and it was)! I got the mushroom, sauce, and multiple cheese one and it was delicious!!
Another place we stopped at was Panificio - a local bakery run by a cute little old man.
This place had so many options and it was cheap too! These mini pistachio & chocolate filled cannoli were $1.50! When I go to the market - just one mini regular one is $2!! What a steal!
I hope you enjoyed seeing these little islands, got another post coming up about my country-hopping spring break.
Stay tuned!
Ciao for now!!
