Venice--romantic charm by the ton.
Wonderful Venice. What can I say that has not been said before. It is a photographer`s dream. Get away from the crowds and capture the real Venice. I have visited many times and every time is special.
Great for us- hooked on taking images. As I said try and get away from the crowds.

Venice is the most walk-able city in the world.No cars or buses can be a pleasant experience. Saying that it can be very tiring.
Taking a gondola ride through the canals of Venice can be very romantic, but it can also be costly.
We have never done this. We have always used the water buses. Taking a trip up the Grand Canal is special.

- Gondoliers must wear black pants, a striped shirt, and closed dark shoes. They usually have a special hat but don't always wear it. Singing is not a requirement for a gondolier. Although some may sing, it's best not to expect itand it does add to the cost.
