Accompanied by the salty sea breeze and rippling blue waves, the romantic bridge scenery and street scenery are intertwined, surrounded by canals like a magical crystal ball - this is the "water city" Venice, also known as the "pearl of the Adriatic Sea". We followed Xiao Hu and went to Venice in the summer to "play with water"!
Hu recommends NO.1 Rialto Market
If you want to get to know a city most quickly and intuitively, the wet market is undoubtedly the best choice: at rioto market, the aroma of fresh melons and fruits and the pyrotechnics of fresh ingredients always bring an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and a picture of the life of the residents of the water city slowly unfolds in front of you.
Xiao Hu recommends NO.2 fried seafood
As an excellent flavour snack, Q-bomb squid and crispy sardines and fried shrimp come together here to match the delicate aroma of zucchini and eggplant, with a little lemon embellishment – hmmm! The taste of the sea is correct!
Xiao Hu recommends no.3 drinking water fountain
After eating salty fried seafood, it is impossible not to be thirsty, but it is possible not to buy water! As a tourist city, Venice sells for 2-3 euros (about 18-20 yuan) for a bottle of water, and it is estimated to cost 100 yuan to buy water a day, which is also a big expense for tourists. To this end, many streets and scenic spots have set up drinking water fountains everywhere, and all water circulation filtration is safe, tested drinking water, which can be used at any time. In this way, not only tourists can realize the freedom to drink water on the way to travel, but the city will also be cleaned up.
Hu recommends NO.4 Aalto Bridge
As the oldest surviving bridge in Venice, it has witnessed the rise and fall of Venice over the centuries. Next door, St. Mark's Square, has been the political, religious and festive center of Venice. The magnificent architecture and the white sails and blue seas shine together, and it is a blockbuster film at any time.
Such an ancient complex, where to find drinking fountains? It's not difficult at all, the drinking water fountain map helps you get it, and the location of the fountain is densely marked on it. Without taking a few steps, the glass in Xiao Hu's hand was filled with cool and sweet water, and once the problem of thirst was solved, Xiao Hu was full of vitality again!
Hu recommends NO.5 pasta
In addition to the splendid architecture, Venice's alleys also have a special style – slender and narrow alleys meander like fringes at the end of the city. In the small shop on the side of the road, you may be hiding the must-have food of this trip - pasta. The in-depth exchange of fresh cuttlefish sauce and Jindao pasta makes the combination of the two achieve the perfect effect of 1+1>2. Look at Xiao Hu's happy expression, you can feel how pleasant the cuttlefish juice pasta really is.
After eating the thick and fragrant pasta, let's have some water to clear your mouth! Following the guidance of the drinking water fountain map, Xiao Hu found another fountain. Take a group photo with satisfaction ~~
Hu recommends NO.6 Venetian snacks
After eating the staple food, it is time to change the pattern of snacks. And look at this "bread dot" is really not "small", cod sauce, lard, salami, sardines, ham... Eat a few bites with bread and don't worry about your stomach! There is also a Venetian fried calf liver with corn cake, and the sweet onion completely overcomes the fishy smell of the internal organs, leaving only the fresh gravy and tender beef liver to frantically tease the taste buds of diners. As for dessert, of course, the first choice is gelato, a double pleasure of harvesting dark chocolate and pistachios in one bite!
After eating these and taking a sip of water, it seems that even the water can be tasted endlessly, and the full day trip to eat and drink is over. With the afterglow of the setting sun and the water bottle full, the heart is also satisfied. Venice is worthy of the "water city", many drinking water fountains, providing easy for everyone to drink water, showing the endless wisdom of people in the practice of plastic reduction. At the tail end of summer, let the Venetian drinking fountain cool you down again!
