There are only four bridges over the Grand Canal (Canal Grande) in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Venice, Italy. This entry will focus on the bridges starting from the north end of the canal moving south.
Venice has some fantastic restaurants. It also has the other kind that cater to tourists serving sub-par food at high prices. We had experiences at both types of restaurants but were generally happy with what we ate.
Venice is a dream world. A romantic city set on islands separated by canals and connected by bridges, it’s one of the most fascinating places in the entire world. It’s a place where there’s so much to see and do that it would take ages to finish everything, but it’s perfectly acceptable to just wander through the narrow streets and enjoy the atmosphere for your entire stay.
Our meal at Enoteca dei Tadi was one of the best meals we had during our trip to Italy. This restaurant located in the historic city center of Padua is definitely worth visiting.
