Day 1 - During the day
Breakfast in Venice usually consists of sweets. And as a tourist, you have enough reason to do that too, right? Go to the pleasant pasticceria, a cake bakery where you can sit and eat. Start the day with a nice cup of coffee or tea, a strudel or a piece of cake. Pasticceria Tonolo* is highly recommended.

Day 1 - Night
Care for a special and typical Venetian dinner? Then go to Hosteria Al Vecio Bragosso and order Risotto al nero di seppia. This pitch-black dish consists of risotto rice, squid, onion and tomato. It may look daunting due to its very dark colour, but it's really delicious. Moreover, this is a typical Venetian dish that many tourists don't even know about.

The next day...

Time for your second day in this bustling city! Start the day with a delicious sweet breakfast at Dal Nono Colussi. You can also choose from a number of savoury dishes for breakfast. Then it's time to head back to the city, in search of culture, music, art and fun.

Day 2 - During the day
Countless movies have been filmed in Venice. To name but a few: Othello, Casanova, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Tourist and Casino Royale. You can look up the places where these feats were filmed and make a route of them. Why not past Café Florian (The Talented Mr. Ripley), the Rialto and Accademia bridges (Casino Royale) and the San Barnaba Church (Indiana Jones)?

Day 2 - Night
Afterwards, it's time for a delicious meal. Return to cosy St. Mark's Square and enjoy and wonderful meal at Caffe Lavena. Have a delicious Italian ice cream for desert, from the nearby Gelato Fantasy. After your meal, take a gondola ride through the canals. It may be quite pricey, but is an iconic activity in the city.
