We’ve often heard people who visit McKinley Hill comment, “It’s like we’re not in the Philippines.” We would have to agree – you need not travel to Italy or even to Macau to have an authentic gondola ride.

The Venice Grand Canal mall gives residents and visitors the chance to cruise along a canal and be serenaded by gondoliers, or gondola boatmen. Try to visit at different times of the day, as daytime and nighttime rides offer each offer a different ambiance.

You can even shop for Venetian masks, have your portrait drawn by resident artists, and add your own locks to the Love Lock Bridge. All these elements provide a feel that’s charming and romantic at the same time.

2. A journey back in time: Gran Caffe Lavena
