Caffè Florian
Venice, ItalyAbout Caffè Florian
Europe's oldest café — open continuously since 1720 in the arcades of Piazza San Marco. A coffee here costs €15 (with the orchestra surcharge); it is also one of the singular experiences of European civilization: gilded mirrors, velvet banquettes, and Casanova's regular table. Expensive and worth every cent.
