Venice, Italy is the romantic getaway by excellence. We wanted to go in the summer, but for one reason or another we ended up going in December. At first we weren’t sure if it was a good idea: rainy? cold? Well, keep reading!<\/p>\n

What was great about going in December was the fact that there were fewer tourists than say in July. That and a nice weather made the experience super fun. Granted, it was cold by some standards (6\u00b0C or 42\u00b0F), nothing that a good jacket and gloves could solve. We were even able to practice ice skating in a rink assembled in a thousand year old piazza surrounded by history!<\/p>\n
