    ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Must-sees of Venice

    This morning, I’m visiting the former Jewish ghetto in Cannaregio, one of Venice’s most important districts. A place steeped in history with its synagogues and narrow streets, it’s also very peaceful, unlike the rest of the city, especially St. Mark’s Square!

    ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Gran Teatro La Fenice (Venice Opera)

    ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Murano (Venice)

    ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Murano (Venice) After Burano, I headed towards Murano in the late afternoon.

You can visit the vineyard, learn about its unique history (the…
