Venezia

Posted on by

On April 3, my friend Nicole (who goes to UMass Lowell and coincidentally studying in Barcelona) came to visit, and we made a fun day trip to Venice!

The trip took 3 hours from Modena, but once we got there we walked around almost the entire city (or islands?), ate delicious pastries and pasta for lunch, and I had the opportunity to take my camera out once again to capture some really cool shots of this amazing place. We end took a gondola! (which I must say is very overpriced, but I got very cool pictures so I don’t regret it at all)

Be advised, if you ever go to Venice, go during shoulder season because I can’t imagine this place during summer, take very comfortable shoes, water, A CHARGER (yes, I forgot my charger), and cash.

The Rialto Bridge, the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal
Saint Mark’s Basilica, perhaps one of the prettiest when it is not under construction
The Campanile di San Marco, one of the city’s symbols
