Venice Romantic Adventures

Venice is sinking. The local prefer to call it Venezia. The Piazza San Marco can flood some days at high tide. I guess it depends on the moon. How romantic. Of course if you want to have a romantic adventure in Venice you must take a gondola ride. But avoid the rush hours and take a trip when everyone else is having a siesta or is having lunch. The famous Bridge of Sighs is so called because condemned men breathed their last breaths on their way to being bumped off on this bridge. A ride on a gondola will cost you about a hundred Euros.

Get to know the Venice locals and find out the secret lunch spots. They will show you the fair dinkum Italian restaurants that will serve traditional Italian food. Try around the Piazza San Marco a few blocks away for a secret eating joint for locals. The cool restaurant area is around Campo Sn Giacometto. The area has funky bars reserved for those in the know. That is where the stylish people gather to eat excellent food. The atmosphere inside the restaurant or ouside in the square is fantastico!

If you go to venice italy in February be sure to go incognito. Get your face plastered for a plaster of paris mask for the venice carnival. The Venice festival started in the 15th century but was discontinued by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Traditional festival was revived as a tourist event during the 1970's because hotels were empty in February.

Lodgings in Venice are priced according to the season. You can get a room for a lot cheaper if you go to Venice in the off-season. The Liassidi Palace offer cheaper rates as do the opulent Ca Maria Adele. And you could also try the Albergo Basilea for a comfortable and affordable place to stay when you are having your romantic adventure in Venice, Italy.
