Ciao bella Italia!
Since the first time I visited Italy, back in 2010, this country kept a special place in my heart.
After visiting cities like Rome, Florence, Siena, Cagliari, Pisa, Bergamo and Milano (this one for just an hour 🤣), it was time for Venice. Truly speaking, Venice always transmitted to me such intense vibes: love mixed with adventure through the canals, mainly. Moreover, it is believed that in a near future, there is the possibility of the city to sink.
Similarly with other trips, the duration of this one was basically three days. This being said, just let skip to it…
Day 1: Fly from Porto (OPO), with a stop in Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), to Marco Polo Airport (VCE). Arrived in Venice at the end of the afternoon, it was still time to do a little exploring around the city, cross the canal from one side to another by Gondola, and have a dinner near by the Rialto Bridge.
Day 2 – Boat trip to visit the three most famous islands of Venice: Burano, Murano and Torcello. In Burano, we visit a glass factory; a stop in Murano to lunch and see the views, and during the afternoon we went to Torcello to do a panoramic walk around the island.
Day 3 – In the morning, we visit the San Marcus’ Basilica. The views from the top were absolutely stunning.
In the afternoon, we visited the Doge Palace, where he’s also located the Bridge of Sighs (Curious name, right? Check this link to know the story behind the name).
This night was dedicated to enjoy the last steps in Venice (for now). Definitely an amazing and gorgeous city. Bellissima, as they said in Italian.
Day 4 – Return to Portugal.
See you in the next post!
