Venice
Venice is one of the most beautiful and visited city in the world. Venice is set in the lagoon which is completely dominated by water and travelling around the city is by water-buses (vaporetto), or by romantic gondola. As you walk through the narrow streets, wonderful sights are around every corner; palaces at the end of dead-end alleys, small squares with superb medieval churches, canals with their arched bridges; and the brilliant sunlit space of St Mark's Square.
We recommend you stay in Venice for at list 3 nights.
Main sights recommended are:
- Piazza San Marco, the main public square of Venice.
- St. Mark’s Basilica, one of the best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture.
- The Doge’s Palace, one of the main landmarks of the city.
- Take the Elevator to the Top of the St Mark's Campanile (bell tower) to see Venice from above.
- Realto bridge and Ponte degli Scalzi, two of the four main bridges across the Grand Canal.
- Take a Vaporetto (water taxi/bus) for a Grand Canal Tour.
- Watch a Glass-Blowing Demonstration in Murano Island.
- Visit Burano Island and its colorfully painted houses.
