Venice is one of those places that never gets old—literally, it’s sinking, but that’s a conversation for another day. In this episode, we dive into our many visits to the floating city, from first-time tourist must-dos to hidden gems we’ve discovered over the years. We reminisce about staying at the legendary Gritti Palace, Lisa’s unexpected gondolier friendship (because, of course, that happened), and the time Erin and Dylan experienced an eerily empty Venice during COVID.

We also chat about the best times to visit (spoiler: not summer), why the Select Spritz beats Aperol, and how Venice is fighting back against overtourism. Plus, we share some incredible local eats, glass-blowing on Murano, and why getting lost in Venice is the best plan you can have.

Grab a drink (preferably a spritz) and join us for a lively, personal, and slightly chaotic deep dive into Venice, Italy.
