14. Good for you! Been to Venice 3 times.

The food is the best I’ve had in Italy if you can avoid the restaurants that cater to tourists. Otherwise it will live up to its reputation for bad food.

The food in the Venice area is unlike any other in Italy. Lots of seafood and rice.

Make sure you try to get lost there wandering around. The entire city is one big architectural museum. We actually took a tour that visited the birthplace of Titian up in the Dolomites.

I am jealous.
