ITALY TRAVEL VLOG ✈️🏛️ exploring Venice & Rome

hello hello! welcome back to another vlog - I am so so happy to share with you part of the trip to Italy! exploring the ruins of rome has seriously been a dream come true - and Venice is one of the most interesting places I have ever been to - it also had so many wonderful bookstores :') (I also apologize for all of the boat background noise in the Venice clips, it was a little loud!) Anyway, I hope you're doing well and find some peace in these scrambled scenes xx

I lived in Venice for six months as an exchange student and it's so nostalgic to see the places I used to frequent and the neighborhoods I used to walk around in through your eyes, it makes me want to go back there. I hope you have good memories of this place.

[@emmiereads]

that must have been an incredible experience:’) I so hope you get to go back - It was magical, thank you love💙

It's 1am but I have my priorities

[@emmiereads]

I am so honoured🥲

@@emmiereads your content is always my priority ❤️

[@chonkykitty4837]

I think one of the things I love most about your videos is the way you capture the beauty in the smaller, and more ordinary things, like ripples from the water, the cracks in the brick walkway, the way the wind ruffles a hanging plant... all of that makes it feel so authentic and real. I appreciate you Emma!

[@bekytg9393]

Oh Emma, that was an amazing and beautiful calming vlog. It's so nice to see a video of Venice and Rome that's not 'touristy'. You really showed the beauty of these places.

[@lydiafrost8769]

Venice in fall/winter looks so nice! I visited in summer and it was so crowded and hot I felt supper suffocated. I would love to go back and see Venice like this -- so beautifu and calm

[@elichaitman3294]

I actually loved Venice in the summer. Looking at the city from the top of St. Mark's Campanile on a sunny June afternoon was sooooo beautiful

[@mariocioffi188]

To me (I'm from Rome) Venice is a city of the north, it has a central European vibe and also a melancholic mood that can be much better experienced in winter...

[@letmekissyousenseless]

Hi Emma! Second-year uni super stressed student in the middle of the exam week here. Just wanted to say, that I DID tear up at the intro, because seeing all the beautiful buildings and little details on them makes me remember why we're on this Earth really. To enjoy and appreciate beauty and all the things it manifests into. Thank you so much for being such a comfort in those troubling times

[@emmiereads]

Oof you must be flooded right now but you’ve got this!! I’m so incredibly glad to hear that - sending you all the love and good things💙

[@flaviadn]

Hi Emma! Italian here, it's always so fascinating so see my country through the eyes of foreigners. I'm so so glad you are enjoying your stay. 💚💚The bookshop you went to in Venice, which was red and white, was probably the one called Ubik. It's so strange to me that you find trains here to be perfect. I take trains literally everyday for work (and I've had for so many years when I went to school) and I can assure you they are a mess, always late, they drive us mad on a daily basis but apparently you have been lucky and that's great 😂😂 We usually buy our bottles of water in grocery stores, coffee shops or vending machines. You would do wonders in your own documentary program, Julius Seizure will not be forgotten😂 Shelley's grave always brings tears to my eyes. Can't wait to see part 2 of your holiday. Lots of love!!

[@martinazanetti5350]

seeing this video was really emotional for me. i live and study in venice and it is truly the most beautiful city in the world, it's so moving for me to see that you crossed the same streets that i cross everyday, that you saw the acqua alta (luckily it's not an everyday thing!). i hope venice gave you the same magic sensation that i feel everyday. the silence, the fog, the water, the smell... i still can't believe it's real. and i love it so much. so glad you got to experience that.

[@emmiereads]

ah incredible - truly one of the most unique and mysterious places I've ever visited - and yes very magical! so cool that you live there!!

[@libellulareading8859]

Emma this was such a lovely vlog to watch! From one native-English-speaker-that-also-speaks-Italian to another, lol, I know how nerve wracking it is to practice speaking with natives! I’m so proud of you!!! And those cat bookmarks are so cuteeee🥰

[@emmiereads]

Haha yesss I’d get like a shot of adrenaline every time but it was so worth it😂

[@libellulareading8859]

Yes exactly, haha! Its very exhilarating and also humbling 😂

[@camscornerbooks]

I’ve never been so proud of something I had nothing to do with. I’m so thrilled for you! Travel, experience your dream locations. Do it while you’re young and can enjoy it. Gah! I’m gushing with happiness for you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@emmiereads]

awe Cam thank you so much, you're gonna make me emotional - thank you so much for your words

[@glossy1068]

I loved how you filmed urban wildlife. Most people wouldn't even notice the nature. Also, this is inspiring to visit. I live just across the Adriatic sea and have never been in those beautiful cities.

[@vyomamody8901]

Emma this vlog was SO LOVELY! The way you've captured Venice and Rome is just beautiful! Hope you had a wonderful trip!

[@michellemp1626]

A M A Z I N G !! Thank you so much for sharing part of your trip with us!!!! Everything was gorgeous! The footage you captured of the water in Venice...I almost wanted to cry! Thanks again!! ❤

[@Roro-qf8jh]

I was raised in Rome for 10 years! It's such a good feeling seeing you enjoy it too. ❤

[@emmalambrecht4000]

Emma, you have done it again. This video was a real balm for the soul. Doing a trip around Italy is a dream of mine and I feel so fortunate to have been able to live a teasing fraction of it through your travels. Thank you! I hope it met all your expectations 😘

[@myrtolefk]

Emma, I'm loving this vlog so much and it's so nice to see places i've actually visited through your eyes! ✨

[@alexandragutu8652]

What a beautiful video. Seeing all these places through your eyes is a joy, I'm glad you had a good time Emma! 💛

[@agirlhasnoname8279]

One thing I adore about Emma is her effort in pronouncing words or names from different countries correctly. It just gives such a respectful and open minded vibe and as a european girl I‘ve noticed that so many American content creators will not even try to pronounce things properly - and yet here‘s Emma, she just gets it! ♥️

[@alem7224]

That’s bc she’s Canadian! I doubt an American would actually care lmao

[@samtalarok9973]

Been waiting for this upload! Yey, Emma! Thank you for bringing us 🧡

[@itsjustamy1876]

"the streets are water" is a perfect description of Venice

[@slw59]

I was an architecture student (from California) and I did a semester in Lugano, Switzerland. I took the train down to Venice in March. It was quite chilly! One of the highlights was seeing the island of Murano and the Venetian glass making. Love your vlogs Emma!

[@bidisha5017]

Thank uh for giving such a beautiful video.... the way uh just captured the whole thing expressed ur feelings it felt so real and wholesome to watch , with that it too felt so warm as if i was traveling alongside uh .❤❤

[@haerhawk]

Watching this at 1:30 am right after finishing a project hits different ❤❤❤

[@MariaMedeiros]

oh wow! INCREDIBLE! Everything looks so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@ila9063]

This is a beautiful vlog. I lived in Lombardia back in 2008 and that was the first time I visited Venice. It’s truly special.

[@red.carnation]

tip to find water in Italy! We usually bring our own water from home in metal flasks, but you can find Little drinking fountains all over the cities which are free and with potable water 🫶🏻

[@cuorehoon]

i go to university in venice and i've been a fan of your videos for a while so seeing you film places i often pass by is so surreal to me ! also im so proud of you for practicing your italiannn you're so good 💗 p.s: ikr, when in venice you HAVE to have a hydroflask, buying water and even just going to the bathroom (without having to pay) is so hard here 😭

[@hannahmiller4716]

Hi Emma! Have fun at Venice, Italy and Rome!🇮🇹❤❤❤

[@Gid444]

Hi Emma! Italian follower here. I’m happy you enjoyed your trip to Italy. Hope you’ll come back for more (Florence, Naples and many other places to see here). Knowing that you were sweating is so fun lol, you made the right choice to come here in autumn, cause the weather in summer is a mess (like living in an oven, with 50 degrees Celsius in Rome, one of the hottest cities in Italy).

[@derekxo]

been yearning for your Italy vlog 🇮🇹🫶

[@moniquebaham]

This was beautiful! Thanks for sharing part of your trip with us! ❤

[@Sthemingway]

That Venetian hotel room! Did you feel like a time traveler? That yellow-gold lighting in the room is lovely. Your description of the trains going from Venice to Rome was like a Studio Ghibli movie. And that Cat Bistrot -- mon dieu, living a dream, mademoiselle.

[@emmiereads]

yes!! such a lovely room - the cat bistrot was a dream come true, first cat cafe for me:')

[@pathofautumnleaves]

Hi Emma! Couldn't explain how much hyped I was once you announced your trip here in Italy, and what a beautiful surprise to watch where you have actually been and how sincere your enthusiasm for your time here was😍 Venice and Rome have their own magical yet different atmosphere🧡 I am almost 100% sure the red and white bookstore with the sleeping ginger cat is called Ubik, which is a sort of bookstore chain, where they sell books from different publishers - small and bigger. Your Italian is so cute🧡

[@emmiereads]

had such a wonderful time, both cities were so beautiful:’) haha thank you!

[@AdrianasWonderland]

I havent been watching you for such a long timr. You have been my huge inspiration but I took a break from youtube and life, now I am voming back to it and I am so excited to come back to you Emma, you have no idea how much I missed you

ah so happy to hear:') prego

[@miriam2526]

Thanks so much for this video, Emma! I have the busiest time at work here (working in retail before Christmas...not good😅). But watching this gave me the feeling of being on a short holiday before my shift starts. Thank you so much! Can't wait until I have time to travel again as well!

This was so nice to watch. I really enjoyed the wax you filmed things. It really made me feel like i am there myself :)

[@lauramc0788]

So nice to see a travel vlog! Funny though I have always found Italy amazing for having loads of public drinking water fountains. They are everywhere. When I lived in Florence there was even frizzante at a public water fountain that I used to go to.

[@aliciajxmenez]

Hi there Emma! I think I saw you when I was visiting Venice on November! I didn't want to approach you bc I wasn't sure tbh hahaha but it's kind of funny bc I can now confirm

[@chelleandpoppy6379]

From the cold hand of death to sweaty sweltering. 😂 I didn’t realize until I took my Italian class how different all the regions in Italy are! Loved seeing them! I can’t wait to go someday ❤ And as someone from the States, the hour and a half train from England to France blew my mind!

[@chiaradragone3421]

Girl it’s great to see you enjoy my beautiful city!(And the italian transportation system unexpectedly too, yeah the trains are not always reliable, unfortunately😂) hope you had as lovely a time as it seems to from this vlog!❤️❤️❤️

[@kimberly6497]

I'm SO excited for you. I have always wanted to go to Italy. Congrats.

[@Atmviola]

Wow 😍😍 this vlog was absolutely stunning!

[@azu_rikka]

Beautiful vlog! If you adore the Italian trains, you will love the Swiss trains, especially Glacier Express, that one is like a hotel on tracks😊

[@HealedandThriving]

Thank you for sharing this with us ❤ absolutely breathtaking

[@lexilatis]

As a person who lives on an island with no trains and who often travels in continental Europe for the trains, I particularly appreciated your special mention on trains 39:16 😊 Also, if you are planning to come back for another trip in Europe, I highly recommend taking a night train for the experience 🚞…

[@callukcraft]

so awesome , also you should totally do history videos where you explain the history of a place this was so fun.

[@survivalsilk2101]

really felt like i was on this trip with you, soo beautiful the way you captured this experience, thank you

[@circleofleaves2676]

If you are ok with cooler/colder temps (which I know you are), it's great travelling in off-peak season. Less crowded, fewer tourists, the locals have more time for real conversation, more availability for accommodation, cheaper accommodation, and doing lots of walking is more bearable than in the summer.

[@Bloomingsnowyflower0101]

Hi Emma! Wishing you all the best! Hope you're having a lovely day ❤

[@emmiereads]

Awe thank you love, sending you all the best🥰

[@roh9934]

You are so talented Emma. This is the best Italy vlog i have seen. I want you to travel the world and make vlogs likes this. I have become fan of yours. I have been longing for such type of video editing but no one does that. I dont wanna see people holding camera and just walking. It felt like i have traveled Italia with you.

[@mirandy03]

Im so excited to watch this vlog💜

[@kydnmthws]

I've just moved to the city from the country and I've gotten really sick (both physically and mentally) but as always your videos are so grounding. Thank you so much. I really hope I can start reading again I'm just too ill at the moment, but it's nice to read via you.

[@lisab2856]

This was so beautiful...thanks Emma! You're an amazing travel vlogger. I've only been to the Dolomites and northern lakes area of Italy and have been a bit scared to go to Rome because of the crowds, but obviously November is a good time to go! Also, if you loved Banff you will love Switzerland... :)

I feel like I really need to visit Venice again, preferably in autumn. I was there only once in the high of summer and was sick the whole time, so unfortunately I don't have that many nice memories of it. I just love how you capture all the small moments. I could watch hours of just you exploring

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

Oooh, Venice and Rome have been on my list of places to visit forever! I also studied Florence a lot and I want to go there too. Love your coat too! :)

[@lucilledatta2168]

You filmed the flat where I grew up in ❤ right next to San Giacomo dell'Orio. I am glad you got to visit that area, usually overseen by tourists (which is great for us Venetians) but it is my favourite 😍

[@lucilledatta2168]

And by the way, the bookshop where the red cat is is called Libreria Goldoni. It is a historical bookshop but I think now it managed by a chain company. That is a dear bookshop to us Venetians, I used to buy my school books there 🥰

[@salindrab4493]

For me Venice and Florence are the most beautiful cities in the World. I spent 10 days in November in Venice once and Venice is a whole different city at this time of the year than in spring or summer and I love this atmosphere. I was meant to go back to Venice in 2020 but then the pandemic happened....but I will go again... next year in March/April and I can't wait. I am from Germany and there is a direct train connection from Munich to Venice which makes it just such a relaxing journey and one can see so much of the italian landscapes while on the train, I could do this forever. I understand your struggles with the italian language of the natives. I asked once an elderly venetian Signora for the way to a certain shop....and she was starting so fast and with so many gestures, I lost her meaning after the first sentence,.😂 Grazie per mostrarci le tue impressioni.❤

[@tanja1007]

Beautiful Venice❤I was there last october. Rome is also impressive😍Loved both cities dearly🥰So sweet memories. I hope you enjoyed Italy, Emma😊😊 Europe has so many stunning places to offer (cultural, historical and architectural) There is something for every taste. Come and visit Europe, we would love to have you here❤

[@elichaitman3294]

Venice was the highlight of my trip this summer (:

[@laurakuhlmann1626]

If you ever go to France, try the TGV, they go double the speed in Italy :) So good to see Rome again, visited it for the first time earlier this year. I know why people wear winter coats thought. When we visited, at the end of summer, it was 41C. They're used to much warmer weather.

[@lillisophia5277]

Oh Emma, this is such a beautiful vlog, thank you so much for so many beautiful impressions from Venice and Rome. The next time your in Rome you have to visit the Keats and Shelley House in Rome. I was in Rome with my Boyfriend last Summer and we visited this Museum and its fantastic. There are so many Bookcases and Books displayed in multiple Rooms with lots of informations. And there's also the Room where Keats lived and died, the room has a view over the Spanish Steps. Theres also a lot about Lord Byron and Mary Shelley, aswell as a cute little shop with Postcards, Bookmarks and Books from Lord Byron, Keats and Shelley. I dearly hope you will have the chance to visit this phenomenal Museum one day.

I went to Italy for the first time a couple years ago and this just brought me back. Btw, I believe in most of Western Europe tap water is actually safe to drink! No need to keep buying bottled water.

[@abual-yamanal-shukri7627]

The reason that made me follow and watch you is that I saw you by chance speaking in one of your videos about some novels, including an Arabic novel by an Iraqi writer, which you showed your admiration for. I hope you will read about Arab poets and poetry.Greetings, Diya

[@Heartonmysleeve-gj1kp]

A train from Rome to Turin took eight hours the last time I made such a journey. I was hoping you would climb the many steps in Saint Peter's basilica to take a shot from the dome. I also ran out onto the street to get one of the colosseum but someone in my family nicked it!!!

[@RenShinigami]

if i remember there are water fountains around that you can drink from or use water bottles , sorry if im wrong. love this vlog it's calming and fun to watch :)

I just realized this might be a European thing haha. I assumed North America would have (drink)water fountains too.

Thanks for the visit to the cemetery , no one ever wants to go with me but they are so interesting.

You can just drink water from the tap. Its safe at most places in Europe :D To Venice its pumped from the mainland.

The bit about Rome made me so incredibly nostalgic... I think I was last there when I was 16 😅

How beautiful is this exploration of Venice Italy , I’m amazed at the beauty of Italy n its always been the place I Iwant to visit , hopefully I can God willing , but u’ve given me a chance to see it , even if it’s only a video but I’m thankful for that , and did u go to Italy on ur own?, that’s very brave of you going alone to another country , make sure to go eat pizza and pasta while their cause they make it the best and I would say go on one of the gondola rides , that would be very relaxing , enjoy urself & how long are u their for ?

HI, Emma, I hope you had a tremendous time in Italy! I visited there many years ago. I don't know whether you had the chance to see it, but there's a cat sanctuary in the Roman ruins.
