Our honeymoon through Italy was a three-week journey filled with slow mornings, spontaneous stops, and an incredible mix of cities, hill towns, and coastal escapes. Traveling with our toddler added a different rhythm to the trip. One that encouraged us to slow down, linger longer, and appreciate both the iconic highlights and the quiet in-between moments. From Venice’s canals to the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the golden towns of Tuscany, and the dramatic landscapes of Sicily and Puglia, each destination offered something completely unique. Looking back, it wasn’t just the places we visited, but the way we experienced them together that made the trip so unforgettable.

Toward the end of our three-week honeymoon through Italy with our toddler, we spent a few days exploring Venice before continuing on to Lake Como. After flying in from Sicily, we left our rental car behind and made our way into the Venetian Lagoon, deciding to stay on the colorful island of Burano rather than in Venice itself. This was my second time visiting Venice and Andrew’s first, and while we both wanted to see the city’s highlights, we were especially drawn to the idea of staying somewhere quieter and more local. Just a 30-minute Vaporetto ride from Venice, Burano offered exactly that—brightly painted houses, winding canals, and a slower rhythm of life that felt completely different from the busier streets of Venice.

As our three-week honeymoon adventure through Italy was winding down, we arrived in Venice for one of the final stops on our journey. We were staying on the colorful island of Burano at Casa Burano, which made for the perfect home base. After a big breakfast at the hotel, we boarded a boat and headed into Venice for our first full day of exploring. This was my second visit to Venice—I had only spent half a day there years ago—so I was excited to experience more of the city and share its beauty with my husband for the first time. Even before we reached the historic center, the anticipation of wandering through the canals, bridges, and winding streets made the day feel special.

A Day in Venice, Italy

By Esperanza on May 1, 2017

Venice is a unique and charming city, with so much history. It’s hard to believe, but it’s built on more than 100 islands with no roads, only bridges. Venetians travel by foot, boat, or gondola in style! The Grand Canal runs through the heart of the city and is lined with Renaissance and Gothic era palaces. Everything feels and looks so delicate and old, which adds to its charm.
