Lady’s Itinerary for 2 Days in Venice, Italy

Today I want to share my itinerary for 2 days in Venice, Italy with you. This city in Veneto is famous for its stunning canals, gondolas, bridges, and palaces. It’s worth a special trip.

2 Days in Venice

Following an amazing day trip to Lake Como, my boyfriend and I took the train from Milan to Venice last Sunday morning to spend 2 days in Venice.

And since I haven’t done a trip-by-numbers in a while, here’s Venice by twos:

2: Number of days we spent in Venice, one of the most architecturally magical cities in the world.

2: Number of hotels we stayed at in Venice. Hotel Danieli and The Gritti Palace were both amazing, and both right on the Grand Canal.

2: Number of hotel room upgrades we were lucky enough to get (i.e. number of upgrades my boyfriend was persistent enough to coax the hotels into giving us). We stayed in amazing suites during our 2 days in Venice.

2: Number of museums we visited. Even though I’d seen it twice before, the Doge’s Palace was still one of the most awe-inspiring displays of city wealth I’d ever seen.

On the more contemporary side, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice had a great collection of modern art and beautiful views over the Grand Canal.

2: Number of amazing dinners we had. The first one was at a restaurant near the Rialto where we ate outside in a little piazza.

The second dinner was at Ristorante Da Ivo, a restaurant recommended by a friend. We had great soft shell crab, stuffed zucchini blossoms, and risotto while we watched the gondolas go by.

2: Number of boat rides we took during our 2 days in Venice. One was a late-night gondola ride through the canals, which was an amazing experience. Our gondolier serenaded us the whole way, too.

The other boat ride was an afternoon one to Hotel Cipriani for Bellinis on the waterfront.

2: Number of evening cocktails we enjoyed on the roof deck of Hotel Danieli and the waterfront terrace of The Gritti Palace. Gotta love Bellinis in Venice.

2: Number of purchases I made during my 2 days in Venice. Given I’m not much of a shopper, it was a big deal.

I just couldn’t pass up all the beautiful paper goods in Venice. I came home with two travel journals. My boyfriend even bought one, too.

2: Time I arrived at work on Tuesday afternoon after our 7:10am flight home from Venice turned into a 2pm flight, which got re-booked to an 11:25am flight. I apologized profusely to my boss when I arrived.
