Buongiorno! After spending a few days in Munich, we headed south to the beautiful city of Venice. What a city! Truly a unique city with all of its canals, gondolas and tourists all over the place. The weather was hot and the tourists were in full force during the day. As the sun started to go down though, the tourists not staying on the main islands left and everything felt a little different. We enjoyed walking along the waterfront trying to decide which pizza and gelato place to get dinner from. We purposefully got lost a few times wandering around the city streets and over the countless bridges.

We went to The Palazzo Ducale which is an elegant palace where the Venetian Doge (chief magistrate) lived. He was mostly a figurehead but he had a nice waterfront to live in (couldn’t take pictures unfortunately). We went to two other museums about Venice’s history but in retrospect, the main attraction was really just the city itself with it’s extremely unique location and charm.
