People say Venice is expensive
I spend much of the year working from Venice and rarely do I pay more than 90c for my espresso. I get so fed up hearing people telling me how expensive Venice is and how awful the food is that I thought I would start this blog for anyone who might be interested. We make a point of finding those little bars and restaurants that locals favour and tourists tend to avoid. I’ll start by mentioning my favourite bar, La Palanca, just along from the Palanca vaporetto stop. The service is excellent and the food very good but don’t expect any special treatment! Also, it has one of the finest outside seating areas in the whole of Venice, on the fundamenta only inches away from the Giudecca canal. Watching the activity up and down the canal, including the enormous cruise ships that tower above the city passing by, can be mesmerising.
Venice is a magical place and I’ll never tire of being here.
