In the early days, Venetians relied solely on boats 🛶 to move between the city's 121 islands, whether traveling to their own homes or venturing to the 'public' spaces. As time passed, technological advances, population 📈 growth, and the expansion of trade made it clear that something more was needed to connect the city. Enter the iconic 435 bridges 🌉 that now weave together the various islands, making Venice the enchanting labyrinth it is today.

Fun fact: The Rialto Bridge, one of the most famous in Venice, was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until the 19th century! It’s also the oldest bridge across the canal, dating back to 1591.

21/10/2024

The region’s luxury appeal is another reason it draws celebrities 📸 like George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand, making it a top destination for those seeking a lavish escape.

20/10/2024

Known as the 🍞 breadbasket of Italy due to its vast production of durum wheat, Puglia's 🍝 pasta and 🥖 bread are true gastronomical staples. Most visitors are familiar with the famous Pugliese orecchiette pasta, the delightful little ear-shaped pasta that's a regional favorite.

But there's so much more to Pugliese 🍽 cuisine than just orecchiette! From hearty breads to fresh, simple ingredients, Puglia's food is a feast for the senses that reflects its rich agricultural heritage.

19/10/2024

Florence is one of the most popular destinations 🎯 in Europe and a must-visit on any classic 📋 Italy itinerary, especially for first-time travelers.

Spending 3 days in Florence will give you just enough time to experience the city's most iconic ⭐ historic and artistic landmarks, from the awe-inspiring Duomo to the renowned Uffizi Gallery.

While it's impossible to see everything in just a few days, you'll walk away with a deep appreciation for the rich culture and history that make Florence a jewel of Italy.

The tiny Tuscan 🛣️ town of Collodi is where the story of the famous wooden puppet who longed to be a real boy began. This charming village holds a special place in Italian culture as the birthplace of Pinocchio, the wooden puppet with a heart full of dreams.

In the story, a poor but kind-hearted man named Geppetto, desperate to make a living as a 🎭 puppeteer, carves himself a marionette. Using only his simple tools 🪵 ⛏️ and creativity, Geppetto brings Pinocchio to life, hoping for nothing more than companionship and a chance to earn his keep.

As Pinocchio embarks on his adventures, the tiny Tuscan village of Collodi remains the symbolic home of this tale of transformation, honesty, and the journey to becoming real. Today, visitors to Collodi can feel the magic of the place where Geppetto’s workshop once stood and see how deeply rooted this story is in the heart of Tuscany.

The Cinque Terre is made up of five towns, once small fishermen 🐠 villages, stretching along the stunning coast of the Ligurian Sea. From east to west, the towns are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare.

Thinking of rocking 🩳 shorts or a skimpy outfit on your church tour? Think again! In Italy, off-shoulder tops, knee-baring dresses 👗, and midriff-revealing outfits are a fashion faux pas in religious buildings.

And whatever you do, don’t ⛔ mess with the food! Adding ketchup or sprinkling extra salt on a carefully prepared dish is the culinary equivalent of an insult.

Oh, and one more thing—ordering a ☕ Cappuccino after 11:00 AM? That’s practically a crime in Italy’s coffee culture!

15/10/2024

The tiny island of Capri, just over four square miles, hosts 2.3 million tourists 🛅 each year, and not all of them take out what they bring in.

Syrians were probably the first 📜 ones to blow glass in the first century BC! History suggests that they discovered the technique of blowing into a hollow tube to introduce an air 🌬 bubble into 🌡 hot glass. (How interesting is that?!) The tradition of glassblowing can also be traced back to the Roman Empire. And the fact that I get to do it is such a fun experience! This is definitely one of the most artful crafts you can get in 🛥 during your cruise! #glassblowing #cruiselife #alaska #glacier #artwork #glass #travel #tourantravel #cruise #adventure

The face of the glacier is also a prime spot for whale 🤓 watching in Alaska. Orca whales prowl just around the ice barrier and humpbacks feed off krill upwellings. Migration is the primary reason 🐋 whales are so prevalent off the coast of Alaska during the summer. Most species are journeying back home after spending the winter 🌨 months in the warmer 🌞 waters off of Hawaii, Baja California, Mexico and Central America! #glacier #alaska #cruiselife #travelgram #travelplanner #whale #wildlife #adventure

The edges of the iceberg (technically, bergy bits) are a great place for 🔎 animal sightings. Harbor seals ride the floes, basking in the sun. Seals are often found along most coasts and cold waters, but a majority of them live in the Arctic 🧊 and Antarctic waters. #alaska #seal #glacier #wanderlust #animalplanet #escape #travelgram #cruiseplanner #familygetaway

This was an incredible experience! Glassblowing! The instructor explained everything every step of the way. Made sure I wouldn’t hurt myself. I got to choose from a set of designs the object I wanted to make. Including picking the colors I wanted. Check this out!!! #alaska #glacier #glassblowing #artclass #adventure

The world's glaciers are shrinking 📉 and disappearing faster than scientists thought, with two-thirds of them projected to melt out of existence 💧 by the end of the century at current climate change trends, according to a new study. Have you ever visited 🛩 Alaska? Not sure if it'll be there long so here's a quick nudge for you to book that 🛳 cruise before it's too late! #alaska #glacier #iceage #summer #winter #trip #travel #cruise #enchantedwanderingstravel #vacation
