Melissa's Trip to Venice

After an unforgettable journey aboard a luxurious Viking cruise, we arrived at the enchanting floating city of Venice to spend our final few nights. This famous city, with its timeless allure and rich history, is a place that everyone should experience at least once. Belissima! 💃

 


Our Stay: The Metropole Hotel on the Grand Canal

We chose to stay at the stunning Metropole Hotel, a 5-star gem nestled right on the Grand Canal. This independent hotel offers more than just a place to rest your head—it’s a true Venetian experience. Located in the heart of the city, it overlooks the lagoon and is just a short stroll from the iconic San Giorgio Island.

The Metropole isn’t just a hotel; it’s a historical treasure. Every corner tells a story, from its exotic décor to its ties to famous artists, painters, historical figures, and even film stars. The attentive service and carefully curated details elevate this hotel to the next level. Staying here felt like stepping into a Venetian fairy tale, where history and luxury meet seamlessly.


Exploring Venice: A City Like No Other

Venice is a place unlike any other in the world. This city is a labyrinth of 118 islands, all connected by over 400 bridges and separated by canals that serve as bustling waterways. Gondolas and boats glide gracefully through these waterways, creating a scene that feels straight out of a painting.

Wandering the cobblestone streets, we discovered that Venice is best explored slowly. Around every corner, there’s something new and magical to see—whether it’s a hidden piazza, an ancient church, or a quaint café offering the best gelato you’ll ever taste.

Beyond its scenic charm, Venice is a treasure trove of art and history. The romantic atmosphere, combined with centuries of cultural heritage, makes this city truly unique. It’s not just a place to visit—it’s a place to savor.
