Venice was by far my favorite town that I have seen in Italy so far. I absolutely loved it! It was such a peaceful weekend... our program stayed in a great four star hotel called Hotel Belle Arti, and got to see the famous Biannale art Exhibition. Venice was beautiful beyond words. The whole city is bolstered by a lagoon, so the only way to get around the town is by walking or talking a "vaporetto" (water taxi) if you want to avoid getting lost. Also, Venice was so expensive! I was glad to be on a prepaid school trip because our meals, aside from lunches, were accounted for and the food was of course exquisite... I mean it is Italy : ). I got some great murano glass necklaces and rings too. If you have to see a town in Italy, aside from Florence, Venice is a must... nothing beats its charm and sheer brilliant views!
