Sorry Nick, I disagree. Personally, when I visit a new city, I'd much rather walk around and see the City and get a feel for the people and the place. I live within about 20 miles of NYC, which houses some of the world's finest museums. I don't go to them, so, why would I want to spend a few hours of what is most likely a limited time in this new city stuck inside a museum? I don't. We walked around Tuileries Gardens and the area around the Louvre, but we didn't step foot inside. Now, if you're into art...that's an entirely different story.

But we also talked to our waiter and he recommended local bars, so we went to those one night and had dinner and drinks with real Venice residents ... and it was awesome.

It runs up a hill. At the bottom is a farmers market, at the top is a big circle with a bunch of bars. All the way up the hill it's lined with restaurants and shops, and the little side streets have lots of great food. One street off the side is Rue du Pot de Fer with a restuarant Chez Robert, which my wife and I loved both times we went to Paris. Which, I'm realizing after just looking up the restaurant, was 12 years ago, and things have changed...
