If you thought Venice was beautiful in the daytime, it is even more charming at night. Its relatively safe, so dont be afraid to wander the streets and get lost. In fact, I encourage you to! You'll find lovers holding hands, hidden alley-ways and small canals, and local streets alive with bars and restaurants. An absolute must visit when I travel if its available is to go to Harry's Bar. Sure, its overpriced with its cocktails at 20 euros, but its an experience. And if you're going to splurge, you have to go to the Harry's Bar here because it originated in Venice. Dinner was at a local osteria by my hotel - Hotel Ai Mori d'Oriente. I will say this - Tuscan food is so much better, but then again, you dont come to Venice for the food. You come to Venice to be in love! And at night, you will understand why Venice is considered the most romantic city in the world.
