A week-end in Venice (August 2010).

We spent 3 days in Venice and, despite the heat that affected those days Northern Italy, we walked a lot in this amazing city where you can stroll through its narrow streets and bridges over the canals with a calmness that you can´t find in any other city in the world because ...there are no cars! The only engine sounds you hear are those of the boats and the vaporetto.
This feeling is reason enough for a walk around the neighborhood of Santa Croce, for example, where there are few tourists and we recommend eating a pastry Tiramisú in the Fondamenta Rio Marin, which has a terrace with 4 tables. Anyway, if you go to the tourist area we didn´t find Venice as expensive as they say.
Venice is definitely a city you MUST go at least once in your life!
