I was excited to finally visit Venice after only reading about it in books and online. I took the overnight train from Salzburg with a quick stop in Padua before taking another train to Venice.

Venice is a historic city I didn't want to miss visiting during my trip around Europe.

Florence is a beautiful city with plenty of museums and art galleries. It also has delicous food and sumptuous wine you'd want to have as often as possible. I spent a few days here during a month long trip around Europe. 

Florence was a highlight and I would recommend others to visit.
