Venice

My husband and I embarked on an Italian adventure this past year. We found ourselves immersed in the rich history and vibrant culture of this enchanting country. Our journey commenced in Rome, where the ancient wonders of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill came to life through the lens of a local guide on a small group tour.


Fueling our passion for exploration, we delved into the heart of Trastevere on a delectable food walking tour, savoring the city's culinary delights and embracing the lively atmosphere. Gelato tastings, visits to the Trevi Fountain, and climbs up the Spanish Steps added a sweet touch to our Roman escapade.


Leaving the bustling capital behind, we discovered the medieval charm of Assisi, a remarkably preserved town that seemed frozen in time. A must see for any first time travelers. Nestled in the Tuscan countryside, we indulged in a delightful dinner, savoring the flavors of Tuscany.


Day three brought us to Florence, a city adorned with timeless art and architecture. Witnessing Michelangelo's David left an indelible mark. We were speechless but our exploration continued with a stroll through a Christmas market, accompanied by the warmth of mulled wine along the serene riverbanks.


Our final destination was the romantic waterways of Venice. The Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica unveiled tales of Venetian grandeur, while a gondola ride serenaded us with the city's poetic charm. Dining along the Grand Canal, we bid Venice farewell, enveloped in the hues of a breathtaking sunset.


As the echoes of our Italian sojourn linger, each moment spent in Rome, Assisi, Florence, and Venice remains a cherished chapter in our travel diaries—a testament to the timeless allure of Italy's captivating landscapes and cultural treasures.
