Must-visit in Venice 😍 The Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal is the oldest in the city. Go early in the morning because this spot is usually filled with crowds.

Soaking up the history at the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. This famous bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.

The best way to explore this unique floating city is by gondola, of course. It's an experience like no other, to see Venice from the maze-like canals. Walking is also a must since it's not possible for cars to pass through the narrow streets. Venice's historical core is fairly compact. You can easily fit many of the major sights in a day. Here are some of the spots we enjoyed visiting:
.
✔️Saint Mark’s Basilica
✔️Piazza San Marco (San Marco Square)
✔️St Mark’s Campanile (Bell Tower)
✔️Doge’s Palace
✔️Bridge of Sighs
✔️Venice Gondola Ride
✔️Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo
✔️Casa di Marco Polo
✔️Casanova House’s in Venice
✔️Parish of Santa Maria Formosa
✔️Rialto Bridge
✔️Grand Canal
✔️T Fondaco dei Tedeschi

It's the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And that someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

Early morning walk in Venice 🇮🇹😍. Crowded with tourists is usually the reality, you'd see here.
.
Not for us though. We went to Venice during winter. There were a lot less crowds to fight with ♥️
.
Would you go to Venice during winter season?

Beautiful from every angle 😍 The spiral staircase is one of the spots not-to-miss at the Vatican Museums.

Of course, no visit here would be complete without the Sistine Chapel where you can find some of Michelangelo greatest works including The Last Judgement and The Creation of Adam. It's also the site of the papal conclave, the process by which the pope is chosen.

Soaking up the morning sun at the holy Vatican City in Rome, Italy. SWIPE to see the view from the top of St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world & a virtual tour inside.

Waiting for my wish to come true 🤞 When in Rome, legend claims that you should stand with your back to the ⛲ Trevi Fountain and toss a coin over your left shoulder.

1️⃣ The first coin guarantees your return to Rome in the future.
2️⃣ The second will ensure a new romance, and
3️⃣ The third will ensure marriage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How many coins would you toss?

Time and salty waves heal all wounds. 🌊

Found a peaceful spot in Guimaras Island, away from the crowds. This beach in Brgy. Lawi Jordan is easy to reach, but only accessible by a short hike from the road/car dropoff, or by boat. That island on the right is Ave Maria Island, one of the popular island hopping spots in Guimaras.
