On her travels, Bettany encounters the stunning beauty of Venice's canals, visits the sumptuous Lake Como and cruises down the Seine in Paris — all in her search for the good things in life. This is a rich treat-filled adventure revelling in all that makes life worth living. Bettany Hughes continues her pursuit of the good life on a grand tour of Europe. Arriving in Italy, Bettany's first stop is Venice, the culturepacked ‘Queen of the Adriatic'. Exploring must-see sights like St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, Bettany reveals why this city has proved so inspirational to travellers, artists and writers for centuries. Meeting the art collector and socialite Peggy Guggenheim's granddaughter and taking to the Grand Canal on a gondola, Bettany learns about living the Venetian dream and discovers where the locals head to for the best canal-side aperitivo. Heading west, Bettany stops off in Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna, which has been dubbed the breadbasket of Italy.
