Hey, This is a thread from when i went to Venice & Milan in italy last year,
First off i landed in Venice, I was in venice for 5 days i think it was, to get there my flight got cancelled a day before! but then we got another with the compan..This flight we had to go from newcastle to brussel and brussels to venice, Venice was amazing, i wish i could go back there tbh ^^, I just love the way they travel via boats, theres no cars, lorries just boats travelling along the canals of venice, Venice is just a city built upon water. Its connected via various bridges throughout the city, Its a massive tourist destination and the biggest attraction there is probaby St Marks square, It received around 1000+ Visitors A DAY, and this is where all the cruise ships stop off at.
In Venice i was paying literally 20 euros each meal, twice a day, this was because a meal cost like 12 euros, then it was like 3 euro for a can of coke or 2.50 euros for water, Then ofcourse there was service charge/tip which you had to pay, Most of the time i gort pizza ^^
In venice there wasnt much nightlife, however there was an american bar called "madigans" where i met a few americans and it was great!, went there most nights and played beer pong and flip cup haha,,
through the day in venice i either went looking at different attractions or Went with my friend over to "the lido" which..you guessed itm Was the Beach!, we spent like 5-6 hours ehre a day, it was like 33 degrees so we just sat on beach burning in the sun and getting ice cream etc, it was Great.
then we went to milan for 3 days, Milan is basically a place to go shopping, all it is is full of shops..There wasnt much to do except look in shops, however we did go to the football grounds and have a look around, and also went to the park which was down the street..
questions or anything just ask ^^, Id defo go again though.
Thats all for now tho...
