Beautiful Italy!

Venice is a city with no cars and canals running in all directions.

[9:00] Morning walk around the city around Rialto Bridge☀️ Let's start with an early morning walk at Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto). The bridge is crowded during the day, but in the morning you can have the beautiful view of the canals and cityscape all to yourself! The nearby "Rialto Market" is the kitchen of the locals. Your heart will be filled with fish, vegetables, and colorful ingredients✨ We also recommend a light breakfast of cappuccino and croissants at a cafe♪☕️ [10:00] Experience the history of Venice at St. Mark's Square and the Basilica The heart of Venice, "St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco)" is a spot you definitely can't miss. - St. Mark's Basilica (The golden interior is impressive!) - Doge's Palace (An art museum that preserves the glory of the Republic of Venice) - Bridge of Sighs (The romance and melancholy of the prisoners' last views from the bridge...) Make a reservation in advance for each facility◎ The whole square is beautiful as it shines in the morning light✨ [13:00] Lunchtime at a trattoria along the canal Be sure to enjoy the Venetian specialties "Spaghetti al nero di seppia" and "Seafood risotto"! 📍Recommended areas: ・Cannaregio district: Fewer tourists and a local feel◎ ・Zattere Street: The terrace seats along the canal are pleasant! 【14:30】Gondola or Vaporetto for a stroll on the water🛶 If you want to experience something unique to Venice, you should definitely view the city from the water! ✅ Gondola (from €80, good for 2-4 people): Relax and feel luxurious✨ ✅ Vaporetto (water bus, from €9.5): Line 1 is a great value for money to go around the Grand Canal Gondolas are most romantic at dusk between 16:00 and 17:00🌇 【16:00】Accademia Gallery or island hopping For art lovers, we recommend spending some time immersed in Venetian paintings at the Accademia Gallery. If you like colorful things, take the vaporetto to Burano Island (45 minutes one way) → Enjoy a relaxing photo walk while soothing yourself with the colorful houses📸🌈 [18:30] Relaxing time at St. Mark's Square at dusk The square is less crowded in the evening than during the day, so have a drink while listening to live music at the historic cafe "Florian"☕️ The setting sky and the illuminated buildings make it seem like a scene from a movie...✨ [20:00] Local dinner at Cannaregio In the Cannaregio district, a little away from the tourist spots, you can enjoy delicious pasta and wine in a relaxed atmosphere.

OMG! I absolutely love Macau 😭! This city perfectly blends extravagance and everyday life. I highly recommend everyone visit ‼️ I'd say it's a must-see. ✅✅Must-Visit Attractions: 1️⃣ Ruins of St. Paul's Everyone who visits Macau takes photos in front of the iconic Ruins of St. Paul's 🤳~ These are the remains of the facade of the Church of Mater Dei, also known as St. Paul's Church, the first Baroque building in China. Look closely, and you'll find traditional Chinese stone lions, Chinese figures, and European classical elements on the stone walls, a meaningful blend of East and West~ Highly recommend a visit 👍👍 2️⃣ Hac Sa Beach Get the same black sand beach experience as Iceland without leaving the country 🏝! One of the eight scenic spots in Macau, Hac Sa Beach is a natural swimming beach with fine, clean black sand and excellent water quality. Unlike other islands, Hac Sa Beach is even more enchanting on cloudy days, making it easy to capture dark and moody photos. Remember to wear a black dress for even better pictures! 😲😲😲 3️⃣ Macau Fisherman's Wharf My friends thought I was in Rome when I came here! Macau's first theme park features retro Roman architecture, with exquisite statues and stone pillars resembling a miniature version of Rome 🛕. You can also enjoy a distant view of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge. In the afternoon, sunlight streams through the arched doorways, creating a stunning interplay of light and shadow, perfect for taking photos! There's also an open-air amphitheater with a multi-functional stage that can accommodate up to 2,000 spectators~ Definitely worth checking out. 4️⃣ Taipa Area After sightseeing, head to the various shopping malls in Taipa for some retail therapy 🛍. The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, The Parisian Macao, Shoppes at Four Seasons, City of Dreams... they're all so captivating 😍! And they're great for taking photos 📸 too. 5️⃣ Rua da Cunha This street is a haven for Macau's culinary delights 🤤 and a famous souvenir street. Foodies can't miss it! It's only a 15-minute walk from The Venetian Macao, offering a one-stop destination for dining, entertainment, and shopping 😋~ Next to Rua da Cunha, there's a hidden rainbow world with macaron-colored streets, like a spilled paint palette 🎨. It's a great spot for photos 📸📸 🧳Travel Preparations: ✔️Visa: No need to elaborate, but remember that Macau visas are valid for two months. ✔️Phone card, data card, ID card 🆔, Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau, bank card. ✔️You can exchange currency for Macanese pataca 💴 in advance. Many shops accept electronic payments, but some still require cash. 📝Tips: ✅Bring some brightly colored clothes 🧥 for stunning photos. ✅Don't forget your sunscreen! ✅Macau can be crowded, so keep a close eye on your children if you're traveling with them!

I always prefer to visit cities that are outside the norm, but Italy is one of my favourite countries and Venezia (Venice) was calling for my attention to escape for a day trip. Mindful of the mere 30 million visitors to Venice every year, I wanted to try and do things a bit different to the usual tourist way and following an alternative itinerary as much as possible like a local. Why visit Venice? 1. Stunning architecture ⛪ 2. Vibrant and fiercely independent Venetian food scene 🍽️ 3. Uniqueness and independence 🛶🌊 4. Ideal for day trips ✈️ 5. Budget friendly if you know where to look! 👀💶 Landing at 9:20am at Marco Polo airport, I took the bus over to the Piazzale Roma, one of the only places where motorists are allowed in Venice. I headed straight to the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge, Picture 2) for views of the Grand Canal (Picture 1), Venice's iconic focal point for travel and tourism, and the provider of motor-free Venice's only form of public transport, the Vaporetto (water bus), on which I used to get there. I then hopped along to the Basilica di San Marco (Picture 3), unmistakably famous for its' domed exterior and golden mosaics. Taking a lift up to the top of its companion, the Campanile (literally Bell Tower in English) will give you a glimpse of The Floating City and all of its densely packed terracotta buildings. In a distinctly overcrowded food scene, it's impossible to sort the good eateries from the bad. Luckily, I came across Bacaretto Cicchetto, as I was keen to try Venice's answer to Antipasti Cicchetti (Picture 4 & 5). This consists of whatever Chef has available on the day, and mine consisted of Italian meats and cheese, baby octopus, Venetian-style sardines and creamed salted cod on polenta bases. Served with a glass of Aperol Spritz, originating from Austria Hungary's occupation of Venice in the 19th century and gradually adapted by the Italians into the drink we know today. Simply delicious. I then ventured out further along the canal towards the Laguna di Venezia, passing unmissable buildings such as the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute and the San Giorgio Maggiore. My proudest life hack of the day... no visit to Venice is complete without a trip on a gondola, granted. However I'm very budget-conscious and I found a great way to get around this while keeping with my plan of sticking to a Venetian-style itinerary... the Traghetto (Picture 6). Traghettos have around 10 seats and are used by locals to hop from one district to another, so rides are usually around 2 minutes long. They only cost €2 instead of the gondola's flat, non-negotiable €80 fee for 30 minutes. It was a great quick experience and I felt just like I'd rode a gondola As the sun was starting to set, I ventured through to the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, built in a gothic style symbolic of the era and a pioneer of beauty and elegance (Picture 7). I headed out for dinner at a local restaurant for Lasagne (not a traditional Venetian dish) and made my way back to the Grand Canal for city views in the evening. The Grand Canal offers a different kind of beauty in the evening, as the city's vibrant food and drink culture shines and watches over the bustling tourism scene. Back to the airport I went, having had a great experience in Bellissima Venezia (beautiful Venice) and feeling a sudden urge to return once again. #celebrateit

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 We finally arrived at Venice, the most famous water city in Italy. However, the tour guide first took us to the colorful "Colored Island Burano". The residents of the island make a living by weaving and fish mending. Due to the excellent quality of the handmade lace produced, it is also known as the "Lace Island". The originally quiet fishing village is famous for its brightly colored houses on both sides of the canal. It was once selected as one of the 19 most beautiful towns that you must visit in your lifetime. It only takes 30 minutes to get there by boat from the main island of Venice, so the transportation is quite convenient. The houses on the Colorful Island are colorful, as if you have walked into a scene from a fairy tale. It is very easy to take pictures, especially with the canal and the bridge as the background, which is colorful and beautiful. When visiting the Colorful Island, you must buy some handmade woven products, such as scarves, silk handkerchiefs, tablecloths, etc. They are not only delicate, beautiful and of high quality, but also cheaper than those on the market, making them suitable for both gifts and personal use. After visiting the colorful island, take a boat to Venice! #ItalianTravel #Venice #ColorfulIsland #WaterCity #burano

#magicalxmastrip If you’re visiting Venice for one day, as is often the way, you might be wondering what you should do. It’s a maze of tiny streets, a collection of islands linked by bridges and waterways, and the whole thing is possibly going to sink one day. There is art, music, architecture and food. Most importantly of all, perhaps, the whole place is pedestrianized, what with there being no roads capable of fitting a car on. Seriously awesome for someone who loves to get to know a place by foot, like me. What to see: • Visit St. Mark’s Square • Bridge of Sighs and Doge’s Palace • Ponte dell’Accademia • Lunch Somewhere • Rialto Bridge • Gondola Ride • Back Streets of Venice In 2024, after many years of talking about it, Venice is finally introducing a day use fee for specific days of the year. This is specifically for tourists visiting the city for a single day. The access fee is €5 for everyone 14 and over. Check dates on the official website

#europetrip I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Italy, and I’m still in awe of the country’s incredible beauty, history, and culture. My journey began in Rome, where I explored iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and, of course, the Vatican. The city is a perfect blend of ancient history and vibrant modern life, with every street offering something new to discover. Next, I ventured to Florence, the heart of the Renaissance. The Uffizi Gallery was a highlight, filled with masterpieces by Botticelli and Michelangelo. I also took time to admire the stunning architecture of the Duomo and enjoy the view from Ponte Vecchio. The trip also took me to the enchanting canals of Venice, where I wandered through narrow streets, rode a gondola, and watched the sun set over the Grand Canal. No trip to Italy would be complete without experiencing the Tuscan countryside, so I spent a few days in a charming villa near Siena, sampling world-class wines and local delicacies.

#cityscape Venice in November offers a quieter, more intimate experience of this iconic city. The summer crowds have dwindled, allowing visitors to explore its canals, piazzas, and historic landmarks at a leisurely pace. Misty mornings and cooler weather lend a romantic, mysterious charm to the city. November often brings the phenomenon of acqua alta (high water), which can flood parts of Venice but also creates captivating reflections in the streets and squares. Museums, churches, and local trattorias are less crowded, providing a more authentic experience. With its serene beauty and off-season appeal, Venice in November is a magical destination for travelers.

Venice is a city full of magic, captivating with every step. From the moment I set foot in Venice, I was enchanted by the charm of this water city. Riding a gondola, leisurely gliding through the canals, the buildings and bridges on either side reflect on the water, creating a stunning picture. St. Mark's Square is the heart of Venice, with the magnificent St. Mark's Basilica and Campanile leaving visitors in awe. We climbed the Campanile to overlook the breathtaking view of the entire Venice. The cafes in the square offer authentic Italian coffee, making it a delightful place to rest. Strolling through the narrow alleys, every turn brings new surprises. Various exquisite craft shops, fashionable boutiques, and aromatic restaurants make it hard to leave. We tasted local specialties like squid ink risotto, seafood platters, and fresh pasta, all of which were delicious and unforgettable. The short trip to Venice left me longing for more. This city, with its unique water scenery and rich historical culture, has captured my heart. This journey will forever remain in my memory as a beautiful experience.

#GlobalTravel Do you know why the houses in Burano are colorful? This beautiful legend tells us that the women on the island came up with the idea of ​​painting their houses in bright colors so that their husbands who were out at sea fishing could find their way home. In fact, the real reason is recorded in history. It turns out that during the Black Death pandemic in the Middle Ages, residents who were infected would smear white lime inside and outside their homes to disinfect the plague, while residents who were not infected would quickly paint their houses in rainbow colors to tell everyone that they were not infected with the Black Death! This is the true origin of how the house was painted in the first place!

It would be a shame if you didn’t try the gondola in Venice🛶 The fee is 80 euros for 30 minutes (about 2,500 Taiwan dollars in Taiwan dollars) I’ll cry for my wallet first! Later, two girls asked us to share the boat, and we spent 30 minutes of magical journey together. The biggest advantage is that we can help each other take pictures, which is much better than taking selfies~ But in the end, we found that we were tricked by the boatman. He told us that if we gave him 100 euros, he would take us to a farther attraction and the time would be extended to 40 minutes. In the end, the time ended earlier than the 30 minutes of 80 euros🤪🤪 Fortunately, the photos are beautiful, and the Vietnamese girl who can speak Mandarin is also very nice. We helped each other take beautiful photos🫶🏻 Travel tips: If you want someone to help take pictures and want to save money, I recommend everyone to try to find tourists of similar age to share the boat! Remember to give priority to Asians😆😆 because their aesthetics in taking photos are similar #globaltravel #coupletravel #venice #gondola
