    Venice, I had visited before and many years ago I was also there for the Carnival. This time the one that fascinated me was Burano with its little houses one after the other, painted in bright colors that on a day of so much sun makes them very pretty and puts you in a good mood

    Very nice vacation in Venice. It was fun to explore the city. And taking the vaporetto back. Gastronomy with food and drink top👍 and also the people are very friendly (only the pickpockets are not).

    We were also in Venice last year = without a ticket. We were very mobile and independent thanks to Vaparetto. It was worth it, we enjoyed Venice
