[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh, I would do Florence and drop Venice.  I hate Venice.  It is so overrun as a tourist trap.  Or go to Venice for 1 day and then spend the rest of your time in Rome.[/quote]

I feel they are both overrun, but Venice almost takes on a Disney esque type of feel.  Going in April, because wife has never been.  I have been 15-20 times and could really go without it.[/quote]a

Will you people please get over yourselves?  You need to see Venice in your lifetime.  Forget what it's become- focus on the amazing history of the place for god sakes.  There is no other place in the world like it.[/quote]

One day in Venice is more than enough.  It was a complete hell hole in my opinion.  All those damn pigeons, the same glass EVERYWHERE, it is noisy and dirty, and just a hot mess.  Take the boat to Murano and order stemware if you need to.  We stayed at one of the few 5-star hotels and I hated every minute of it.

In contrast, I love Florence.  We have stayed at the Savoy, the Portrait Firenze, and the Four Seasons.  My favorite hands down was the Savoy on the Republican Square.  The square is lively and it is easy to get to different parts of the city.  Be sure to see the Medici Chapel and Crypts.  Beautiful.[/quote]
