We chose train as means to reach Pisa from Rome. The route unfolded giving us splendid view of sea on one side and beautiful countryside farms on the other side.
Most people choose Pisa as a stop over to check out the Leaning tower, so did we. Its a 20 min ride from train station to the tower. Leaning tower is a famous landmark on the global map and it deserves to be seen at least once. Take cheesy photos of yours pushing or holding the tower, and go up if its not closed :)
We were off to Venice via Florence. Not to forget the bullet train that we took from Florence to Venice got us super excited.
Old canals, winding roads, colorful buildings and medieval feel makes Venice one of the most romantic places in the planet. it's probably in everyone's "must-see" list and i must say i'm lucky enough to tick it off from the list.
Venice never loses its capacity to enchant which seems miraculously built on water.
There is no doubt that you will have jaw dropping sights of Grand Canal once you get out of train station. Getting lost in Venice is the best way to explore its beauty.
Venice is not the cheapest place in Italy, but it doesn't cost you a fortune either. The day was spent roaming around the narrow streets and quick visit to Lido. We need to experience the loveliness of this place both during day and night. We went for a ride in the water bus during night to get amazing views of the island.
Plan was to spend the next day in Burano. Block like colorful buildings makes this place absolute beauty. Enjoy the view of this island roaming around and taking pictures. It has few wonderful restaurants and local shops.
You may also go to Murano, where the Murano glass is pretty famous.

Go on a Gondola ride in the main island which may cost you about 60-80 Euros, after all its Venice, there are no second thoughts about getting on this.
Rest of the day we were roaming in the main island shopping and exploring. Venice has got some beautiful markets, don't forget to buy some masks and scarves which are very famous here.
To make the trip more memorable we had some food in the banks of Grand Canal.
Venice leaves everyone stupefied and with vivid images in minds. It's probably got few more decades left for its beauty to sink(hope it doesn't). So, pack your bags and visit it while we are still lucky.
One of the great joys of travelling through Italy is discovering firsthand that, it is indeed a great destination. It will be a dream that keeps returning for the rest of you life!!
