Visit Venice

Venice is unique environmentally, architecturally, and historically attractive. At every turn you’re assailed by unforgettable images - tiny bridge crossing limpid canals, delivery barges jostling chintzy gondolas.

With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Important sights to visit in Venice are the Piazza San Marco which beautifully encapsulates the splendor of Venice’s past, with the mean feature being the remarkable Basilica di San Marco. Moving on to the Palazzo Ducale, the official residence of the dukes and the seat of the government. Venice is studded with museums and art galleries.

A must visit is the Island of Murano and the Glass Museum.
