VENICE, ITALIA

Have you ever wondered living in a country where there are delicious foods everywhere you go? Baked pastries, The aroma of the pizzas that has just been taken out of the oven, the strongness of coffee bean mixed with the smoothness of cream. It just feels like being a king in a delectable heaven. Do you know which country where they have all this scrumptious stuffs? That’s right, Italia! This time, I'm not going to tell you the full about Italia. I'm just want to tell one of the famous cities in Italia, Venice.


Venice is a city that says adventure and sailing to distant lands. Marco Polo was 17 years old when he left Venice to sail to Asia. From the 13th - 15th centuries, it was one of the most luxurious cities in Europe, and a great maritime trading empire with the Orient. Today, Venice is still a city like no other, and traveling to Venice peoples will have a great time exploring the labyrinth of streets and campos, shimmering canals and endless bridges.

At all seasons, some food like gelato (ice cream) is available, in all kinds of flavors. In cold weather, hot chocolate with whipped cream is the drink to try. Venice has a sweet tooth, and there are lots of different pastries (some with an Austrian touch) – cookies, strudels, meringues, croissants filled with honey or jam, and traditionalzaletti, large cookies (plain, chocolate, or pistachio) made with corn flour and buranelli, s-shaped cookies typical of Burano.




Venice is a fun place to shop, opulent windows filled with colors and textures. There are wooden or plastic models of gondolas in all shapes and sizes, and models of other Venetian boats. Look for glass items such as animals or miniature vases, necklaces, earrings, rings in all colors of the rainbow. Mosaic is a traditional art in Venice – pendants and paperweights. Masks and marionettes are fun, as well as gondolier hats (straw with red trim) and blue and white shirts. Lots of choices for lace fans, parasols, and appliqué with winged lions or gondolas.
