Yep, move over Barcelona and St. Petersburg; Venice has come to eclipse your beauty. But don't worry, I am still true to my birth city, and Barcelona is still my favorite city in Europe overall. Venice, however, is gorgeous! In Posted by anya84 in TUSC[ANYa] | Sep 8, 2009

- 周庄的欧洲版 - 威尼斯 (Venice)
威尼斯和周庄的共同点:
* 房子都建在水上;
* 狭窄的街道用很多的小桥连接着;
* 被游人,饭店和礼品店侵占了的城市;
* 游人可以雇条小船从城市的一头游到另一头,同样是人力的小船,只不过威尼斯的小船有华丽的装饰和“刚朵拉”的洋名。

- Venice - A truly unique city
Venice is a beautiful town, albeit a little touristy. Something like a quarter of the streets are canals, which makes it easy to get lost and makes the city very unique - definitely worth seeing.

Many people travel Europe by train. It can be really easy if you go to major
cities and travel extremely light. You will miss the random side trips-and have
to travel on a schedule.

Our first full day, started at the Accedemia-see 'The David'. We went online to
look for tours. The price I was quoted for a walking tour and guide was
expensive(from me). I researched a few sites and settled for Viator. Posted by Jcarrara in Julie and Lincoln's 1st Trip | Sep 3, 2009
