Voir Venise et Mourir!


Venice!

It's such an enchanting place!

But let me tell you some real facts about this place since I was there last week!
Time has stopped in Venice, you can imagine yourself living in the 16th century and nothing can prove you wrong (except the Japanese with their cameras!)
It's not a place just reserved for lovers, on the contrary, families,kids, old, young, artists etc... from all over the world came to share the spirit of this "floating" city.

To enjoy Venice, you have to walk, walk and walk ... get lost in the narrow streets and cross its endless bridges, taste as many food as you can and drink all the wine on your path.

Forget the Lebanese comments: "don't go there, it's full of mosquitoes" or "the smell there is horrible!" ... it's like saying don't eat Pizza in Italy cause they don't serve Ketchup with it!

I definetly advise everyone to go to Venice at least once in his life, save lots of money though and let yourself drift on the city endless canals.

The ticket will cost you around $600 (depending the season), now in summer you can find good hotel prices, Easter period is more expensive in general!
If you want to save with the hotel, you can look on islands a bit away from the main one, where the main attractions are (Place St Marc, Palais des Doges etc...)
For food, if you want to eat well calculate around 75-100Euros/day.
But it's worth every penny ;)
