A plan: Rent bikes here, roar around Venice, bring them back in time to snag a table next door at On the Waterfront for a sunset Erdinger. Cheers.

Right in the thick of things, boardwalk-wise. This means you can watch the loincloth man balancing on a ladder while clutching rubber cobras while they’re setting up your ride.
