For further cultural enrichment where no one will blink twice that you’re sipping an espresso in a café alone, head to Venice. If you feel brave enough to do it in the off-season, when it’s mainly you and the locals, do it. Things get really more difficult in the summertime, giving you the sense that you’re only getting pushed around and crowded in.
Imagine walking through Piazza San Marco when it’s relatively quiet, or entering the cathedral to savor the unique blend of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. You may even become a bit of a regular somewhere and, the moment you walk in the café, someone has a little heart-shaped cappuccino ready for you.
