Hi,
My wife and I leave for Germany and Italy in Sept and we have a few questions.
A few years ago I got a good exchange rate for 1,000 Euros and will be taking this in cash on our trip. I have the Rick Steves "neck wallet" but am concerned about carrying so many Euros around. Should this be divided between my wife and I, our airplane carry-on,
left at our various hotels? Any thoughts on this?
Secondly, we talked about seeing a music performance in Venice (this would probably cost 75-80 Euros for both of us). But, on a previous trip we enjoyed the evening music in St. Mark's square but had to enjoy it from a distance as only paying eating customers could be seated near the musicians. For 80 Euros we could get a nice meal and sit and enjoy the concert in St. Marks. We believe this will be a nicer than a concert in a local church venue. Your thoughts on this?
Lastly, any suggestions for the best location to get an evening gondola ride? Near Rialto Bridge, St Marks area, or wherever. Looking for side canals and not the grand canal.
Thanks for any input!
