What to do, where to stay and what to see
Most city tours combine the basilica and the palace, and are timed so that you enter the 1,000-year-old Byzantine church during the noon hour, when the lights are switched on, illuminating the soaring gold mosaics. To underscore old Venice’s wealth, a 12th-century painting gifted from Imperial Greece, and studded with emeralds, rubies and amethysts, is on display. “You cannot build a city like this unless you are completely loaded,” said our guide Andrea.
If you are a foodies and if you love the Italian food, take a Cooking Class or dine with the locals in a secret Supper Club. The cooking lesson is a fun way to acquire new culinary skills. Take a look at the following web site to find a class http://isacookinpadua.altervista.org
4 times in Venice, the last one, less than 3 months ago... And I'm already missing it. Venice is where my heart is. And also my origin. All family from there. Of course Sophia is not my real name. And I'd talk better in italian ( maybe). But all I can say, Venice is the breathe of life in my soul. Everytime there, I reborn a little. Every time there, a new place to discover, another narrow street to walk on by.. And all the times Venice makes me dream and hardly believe that I certainly have already lived there.

The beauty of Venice is in its old world grandeur - those things that set it apart from anywhere else.
To Rome with love. This city will never wither. Venice will always be Venice, at least that's what http://www.elcidvacationsclub.com/ is saying.
Please don't worry about Venice ..... it will be the same (as your pretty description) for other 1,500 years at least. Bye, see you in Italy
