Panna cotta literaly means cocked cream
If you like the countryside you must come to Tuscany. Look at Val d'Orcia on google, you'll see what I mean! 😊 Or Tuscan countryside in general.
I've been all over Europe (slightly easier for me cause I live here) and you've definitely learned the way to do it next time. Fly into the main cities, do the tourist traps your 1st or 2nd day… Then get the hell out and explore the random towns and city's you've never heard of!
starts at 2.30
Food at touristic areas is often a hit or miss. Especially in busy areas plenty of shitty restaurants will be able to survive because it doesn't matter if you never go back, there will always be fresh new first time visitors. But I bet that's a global issue.
If you ever come back to Italy, i garantee that it is much better to vist the less “touristy” cities (even tho they are amazing), because from the little towns of 50 peoples in the Alps to Rome evry single city is unique and spacial with hundreds of years of Hystory.
I highly racomand you visit cities like Monza, Turin, Trieste, Bergamo and others in the range of 40ish to 150k people since they are much less crouded even in the hollydays
Keep in mind that food in Italy is extrememely regional based. Pizza and Venice is a weird combination to me since pizza it's a Neapolitan dish which is literally on the opposite side of the country. Since Venice it's so full of tourist traps I assume you could have eaten in better places, Especially looking at the photos you showed…
A good half are fine but the other half made me think "wtf what kind of place theese poor people got themselves into to eat that sad looking dish"
P.S try Turin if you want an unusual non so touristy interesting italian city. Definitely one of the best to visit among the big cities.
Panna Cotta?
Maybe a nespresso style pod coffee machine and variety of different pods to find what you like, at least until you can find a coffee shop that makes decent coffee
Bus boat? Do you mean ferry
Is it pronounced pad oo wa
Just wanna give you some more info about that plaza in Padova (accent on the first "a" by the way), since I live next to there:
the place was originally a swamp, yes, a swamp.
There are 78 statues (they were 82, but then Napoleon's army had to come and destroy 4 of them because they represented venetian Doge), and each one depicts a real or mythological figure linked to the city, people like Antenore, the legendary trojan hero that founded the city according to legend, Andrea Memmo, the venetian noble who created the plaza as you see it today (the island in the center is called Isola Memmia in his honor), Galileo Galilei that in Padova had the professorship in mathematics at the University (one of the oldest in the world), and here invented the telescope, and popes, writers, heroes, politicians, philosophers, scientists, kings (yep, there's even a polish king in there).
Venice and Padova are the 0,02% of Italy and the 0,002% of Europe. You definitely need to come back. Rome, Turin, Verona, Milan, Naples and around (before it explodes), Tuscany, Sicily, Sardinia and Salento (Apulia), these are the usually top standard places to visit in Italy. On a european level you should definitely see Wien, Paris, Madrid.
There is clearly much more, however these are the top locations to visit at least once in life. Send me a message if you’ll ever pass from the alternative/vibrant/ugly Berlin
Its ITaly not IDaly
There are a lot of places in Venice where you can live the real city avoiding mass tourism.
There are a lot of beautiful cities in one hour train trip or little more (Verona, Padova, Treviso, Vicenza, Trieste, Udine, Mantova, Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna) full of art, architecture an history. If you want a really authentic italian experience you can visit the small towns in the nearby like Chioggia, Caorle, Portogruaro, Vittorio Veneto, Bassano del Grappa, Arquà Petrarca, Montagnana, Cittadella, Comacchio, Conegliano and so on: you’ll be amazed by beauty. These are all places in a part of northeastern Italy easily reachable from Venice
if you don't like the Italian Pizza, made wit Buffalo mild, then your taste buds are already ruined by US ingredients and sugar. And baby, Venice is a few century old city build on Sea, so it should be clear that the smell from the sea is mixing the air and depending how much water it flows in the smell can change, that's nature! visit the south or the high North, the Dolomite's or cinque terre!
Venice is known for its seafood-based cuisine. There are better places for food in Italy.
Hi! I live in the venetian countryside. And let me tell you, Venice is obviously beautiful, but everyone here know it is the last place you want to go if you wan't to "experience" Italy, or at least the northeastern part of it (because various parts of Italy are extremely differen from each other). Padova is surely a better example. 🙂
Denmark next?? That's my home country. I'm a little scared on what you have to say 😲
Next time you visit a city in Italy, make sure you spend some time googling how to avoid tourist traps. There is so much incredible stuff to eat it'll blow your mind.
I have just realized that we could have met in Padua that day! =D If only I discovered this channel a couple of months earlier..! Well, next time you'll be coming to Padua, I'll show you around Vicenza and Verona (the city of Romeo and Juliet), and the villas and castles in between! Let's arrange something!! ^_^
Loved the live stream you did with Inna from Venice, was so fun 🙂 And I'm jealous, I love Italy but have never been to Venice yet!
You have seen Venice and Padova but of Italy you have only seen a drop of the everything you can see! Have a good trip in the "bel paese".
You are more then welcome here ☺️ 🇮🇹💪
Don't, just DON'T eat pizza at Venice, please. They just can't make it right. If you want to get good pizza go from Lazio, below..
pay a visit to Sweden goblin!
America makes much better pasta and pizza than Italy!!!! USA USA USA USA Braindead Village Idiots
I was lucky enough to be able to visit Venice several times, for different reasons and in different seasons.
And obviously depending on the season, but there are always many tourists.
It will also depend on the places you visit and the time you do it. I believe that based what you really want to see or observe, could be better to have a suitable program or even on the contrary a total random program…. rather than following something that you imagine or that concerns expectations.
Perhaps this way we could have more surprises and fewer disappointments. But it will also depend on how much time you have to visit a place.
And all this could obviously be said for any place in the world, not for Venice.
Regarding pizza, Venice is not famous for pizza, but that doesn't mean much. There are different types of pizza in Italy, but whether the pizza is more or less good will obviously depend on the restaurant where you eat it, but above all, even in this case, depends on what our idea of a "good pizza" is.
At least this is my opinion.
Next time go to Tuscany. You will be amazed.
Thank you so much for sharing this important work👍👍👍
Va bene. Don't overdo.
