It is almost mandatory to take a gondola in Venice. One, because there are no roads so if you’d like to visit places then the Gondola it is, with your own personal gondolier chanting away getting the true Italian exuberance and once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is such an idyllic destination to start clicking your camera away taking hundreds of pictures, but as in any big city, the place does get crowded especially during the summer months. Tip, get there in June or towards September time to have a little more peace and quiet and have plenty of time to focus on quality time. Get over to San Marco Square, and Doge’s Palace. Many Taverns will warmly welcome you where the culinary experience is terrific.
9. Tokyo, Japan
