It’s been nearly 20 years since we visited Venice (we did a grand tour of Venice, Pisa, Florence & Rome many moons ago when I hadn’t realised I would settle in England) and when I discovered how close this extraordinary city of islands and canals were to Verona, I was beyond excited to revisit this Italian gem.
Every single time I saw a Canaletto my heart beat for a return trip – so we booked the quick train from Verona (around an hour & 20 minutes, in advance) and boarded giddily, armed with cappucinos and pistachio crema stuffed croissants.
