About Venice

The Italian city of romance, Venice is a stunning city built entirely on water, boasting a complex canal system of 160 canals and 400 bridges. Situated on the Adriatic coast, the city also stretches across 117 islands. so traverse the city by water, with a bus boat, known as a Vaporetti, or take a romantic gondola tour along the Grand Canal.

Filled with inspiring sights, don't miss the Palazoo Ducale, the Rialto Bridge, or the Basilica Church on the San Marco Square. Stroll through the streets and observe the history in the stunning architecture of houses, churches, and museums. Head to Rialto Market to stock up on gifts, or fresh produce. Or for a more cultural experience visit one of the many fantastic museums in the city such as the Gallerie dell'Accademia or the Museo della Musica. Such a beautiful city should be taken at a leisurely pace, so spend hours over a multi-course lunch on a piazza, head to a wine bar, or simply stroll the streets.

Venice is perfect in the autumn or the spring, avoid the heat of the summer, but be aware that flooding issues often affect the city!
