20 Things to do in Venice, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (VENEZIA ITALIA):
We’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Venice in winter visiting the famed Floating City. Join us as we show you the best things to see, do and eat in Venice.
The Vaporetto is Venice’s water bus service. The standard ticket is 7.50 Euros and valid for 60 minutes, the 1 day pass is 20 Euros and valid for 24 hours.
The most visited attraction in Venice: Piazza San Marco where there is quite a bit to see and do around the square beginning with St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Campanile, a tall brick bell tower was once used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home where you get great views of the city.
Then you have the Doge’s Palace, which was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the former Republic of Venice built in the Venetian Gothic style.
Don't forget the Bridge of SIghs, whose name refers to the sighs of prisoners who would get their last glimpse of Venice as they were led from Doge's Palace to their cells.
Across to the other side of the Grand Canal, you have the Basilica of Saint Mary of Health and the Galleria dell’Accademia in case you’re in the mood for art.
A restaurant we really enjoyed La Zucca - a place where all the dishes are made with pumpkin! The Rialto Market specializes in produce and fresh seafood for self-catering.
Let’s talk about island hopping in Venice:
Founded in the 5th century, Torcello is even older than Venice and was the original settlement in the Venetian Lagoon with lots of walking paths, nature and Byzantine mosaics.
Burano is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to browse.
Mazzorbo island sits next to Burano and is connected by a bridge while being known for its vineyards and orchards.
Murano is renowned for its glass production dating back to 1291 when the glassmakers in Venice were forced to relocate by the Venetian government.
Lido is an 11-kilometre sandbar island that shelters the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea with beaches, lots of seaside homes, and this is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place.
A restaurant we liked in Venice is Osteria Mocenigo specializing in local cuisine. Try the “Sarde in saor” - a typical Venetian dish made with sardines.
While your vaporetto pass is valid ride the canals at night and watch the Floating City come to life.
We hope you enjoyed this Venice travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas for your own trip.

The Don'ts of Visiting Germany
1. Don't Assume German Are The Cold Stereotypes You Have Heard of Your Whole Life.
2. Don't Jaywalk, so follow the rules in Germany.
3. Don't Forget the Pfand or deposit that you may put down for beer mugs, bottles, cans and other things. You can get that money back.
4. Don't forget to bring flowers or a small gift when visiting a German's home. Also, don't wear your shoes inside their homes.
5. Don't be disrespectful at the Nazi concentration camps and memorials around the country.
6. Don't Wait: when at restaurants or bars order as soon as you can as waiters do not come through to check on tables as often as they do in other countries.
7. Don't Experiment on Driving on the Autobahn. It can be very dangerous for first time drivers.
8. Don't Expect to Shop on Sundays in Germany.
9. Don't forget to bring cash. Germans love to pay in cash and some places will only accept cash. So be ready.
10. Don't expect to see just half timbered houses in Germany. It is a thriving modern country with tons of amazing culture, architecture and technology.

Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy )
Places to see in ( Arezzo - Italy )
Arezzo is a city in eastern Tuscany, Italy. The hilltop Arezzo Cathedral features painted vaulted ceilings and a 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca. Nearby, the Basilica di San Francesco has a chapel decorated with more Piero frescoes. The Basilica di San Domenico contains the 13th-century “Crucifix” painted by Cimabue. The imposing Medicean Fortress has sweeping city views.
Arezzo may not be a Tuscan centrefold, but those parts of its historic centre that survived merciless WWII bombings are as compelling as any destination in the region – the city's central square is as beautiful as it appears in Roberto Benigni's classic film La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful). Once an important Etruscan trading post, Arezzo was later absorbed into the Roman Empire. A free republic as early as the 10th century, it supported the Ghibelline cause in the violent battles between pope and emperor and was eventually subjugated by Florence in 1384.
Today, the city is known for its churches, museums and fabulously sloping Piazza Grande, across which a huge antiques fair spills each month. Come dusk, Arentini (locals of Arezzo) spill along the length of shop-clad Corso Italia for the ritual late-afternoon passeggiata (stroll).
Arezzo is a bargain hunters paradise. Every first Sunday of the month Arezzo’s main square, Piazza Grande, is packed with over 500 stalls which spill out down the city’s side streets and alleyways. The event draws huge crowds with 30,000 participants, both locals and tourists, in search of unique items. Roman coins, old telephones, ornated grandfather's clocks and china are a few typical items to be found. Even if you miss the monthly extravaganza, Arezzo still has many more antiques to offer in its copious and varied local shops which are open all year round.
Don’t forget to visit the city’s main square also without the hustle of the market. With many cafes and restaurants nearby, the area provides a great place to visit at a slow pace. Be sure to notice the many coat of arms on the surrounding buildings which evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere.
Sitting proudly on the hilltop of the town, this Gothic Cathedral hides intricate and awe-inspiring details inside. Don’t miss Piero della Francesca’s mural of the Mary Madeleine, medieval stained glass and the baptismal font relief designed by Donatello. Perhaps modest and unassuming on the outside, this medieval church houses Piero della Francesca’s impressive fresco cycle ‘Legends of the True Cross’. To see one of Italy’s most treasured and important pieces of Renaissance art, tourists should book in advance, in order to ensure they are not disappointed.
The three-tiered façade and the campanile have earned this church the name of “tower of a hundred holes” due to the numerous windows. But the real attraction of Santa Maria lies inside: visit the crypt to see jewelled artifacts and the bust of San Donato. Each of Arezzo’s neighbourhoods (or ‘Quartieri”) has their own team of knights who joust twice a year, in June and September. The tradition dates back to the 16th century as a means of military training, but now represents a lively social tradition. Tickets range in price, although spectators can watch the procession for free.
Easily forgotten and overlooked, any art lover should see the elaborate interiors of Giorgio Vasari’s renaissance home. As well as containing his own work and fresco’s, the archive contains letters hand written by Michelangelo and Pius V. Built partly on the remains of the amphitheatre, this quiet museum displays many cultural gems from the 2nd century as well as a great opportunity to walk amongst the amphitheatre ruins.
( Arezzo - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Arezzo . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Arezzo - Italy

Bolzano, Italy Travel Guide - My Life In Italy
Bolzano, Italy is a city in the Italian Alps in the northern region formerly a part of Austria known as Alto Adige, or Südtirol in German, and the German name of the city is Bozen. It's a fun city for a quick visit and to experience this Germanic part of Italy. Bolzano is not only a great place to visit in the springtime but also the winter time. Bolzano / Bozen is famous for its Christmas market that they have every year (which I've also made videos about). But today, I'll be taking you with me through the city and giving you a little tour.
