Venice, the capital of Veneto Region, is a magical floating city whose historical center and surrounding lagoon are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Most of the top-rated tourist attractions can be found along the Grand Canal, the “water highway” around which the old town was built. Here will see the spectacular St Mark’s Basilica, the Clock Tower, the Campanile and learn about the powerful aristocratic families who forged this magical city. You will also get the chance to explore the Doge’s Palace, one of the most beautiful in Europe. Nearby is the bridge over the Grand Canal, the Ponte de Rialto, and you can also take some impressive pictures of the well-known “Bridge of Sighs”. Finally, when in Venice, it’s crucial to add a bit of culture to your trip visiting the stunning paintings showcased in Gallerie dell'Accademia. However, if you prefer some retail therapy, we recommend going shopping at the Rialto Market.
