Our apartment, found through Booking.com (Dimora Fossalta, a pochi passi da Piazza Maggiore), was amazing for seven people. Unlike Rome, we each had our own space for the 3 nights, which was welcomed by all. It looked over the square, which was amazing the first day but was even better on the weekend when they stop all traffic to become a pedestrian zone. It was a treat to wake up to live music on Saturday morning, especially for our resident musician. It did, however, come with revelers at all times of night and morning.

Travel Nugget: When choosing your place to stay, remember that to be in the center of things can be good and bad. Music and people in the morning may mean music and people at night! Choose wisely for your sleep habits, remembering that Europe is typically a late-night and late-rise kind of place!
