Reviews and Travel Advice for Your Next Vacation in Venice

Taking a tour of Venice is an ideal way to get a feel for the city. Located in the Veneto region, Venice is built on more than 100 small islands in the lagoon. Its streets are canals rather than roads, and the Grand Canal is the main thoroughfare, lined with Renaissance palaces. One of the most important sites in Venice is the Piazza San Marco, home to St. Mark's Basilica, tiled with Byzantine mosaics. The Campanile bell tower on the Piazza offers a view of the city.

For those who do not have time to tour the city by a guided tour, there are several self-guided walks in Venice available. These tours offer information on Venice history, architecture, and top attractions. They are offered daily at eleven in the morning, and cover both the western and eastern parts of Venice.

There are also walking tours of Venice, which take tourists through the most important landmarks. A typical walking tour begins with a boat cruise on the Grand Canal, passing by the famous Rialto Bridge. Other highlights of this tour include the secret garden, the Cannaregio neighborhood, and the Jewish Ghetto.

Rialto Bridge

A private tour of Venice is the perfect option for people who love architecture and food. Tours with a local host include local food tastings, tours of the Grand canal, and wine tastings.

The best things to do in Venice

Venice has a lot to offer. There are Gondola rides, Island-hopping, and the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. If you want to spend a day in Venice, here are some of the most popular activities. If you want to get the most out of your trip, don't miss a visit to the Basilica.

Island-hopping

A trip to Venice's islands is an excellent way to see the city and its architecture. While Murano is the most popular island, you can also visit the quieter Torcello and Lido, which have quaint residential areas. You should also read a guide to island-hopping before you go.

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute

The Basilica di Santa Maria della Saluta, more commonly known as the Salute, is a beautiful church in Venice. It is located in the Dorsoduro sestiere near Punta della Dogana.

St. Mark's Square

One of the top things to do in Venice is to see St. Mark's Basilica, which was first built over a thousand years ago. It is one of the most important religious structures in Northern Italy.

St Mark's Clocktower

The imposing clock tower, built in 1497, was once a separate building. The clock was originally a single piece that sat alone in the tower until 1755, when four supporting bays were added by architect Giorgio Massari. The clock originally had a second bell, which chimed to alert people to Moor arrivals. This clock was inaugurated by Doge Agostino Barbarigo on 1 February 1499. Today, the clock is visible even from the sea.

Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs is an iconic sight in Venice and is easily one of the most photographed sites in the city. It's a seventeenth century bridge that spans the Rio di Palazzo canal that connects the Doge's Palace to the New Prisons. The bridge has an interesting history, and is also one of the most romantic spots in the Floating City.

Doge's Palace

The Doge's Palace is one of the most important sights in Venice and is open all year round. It is closed on some public holidays, but otherwise it's a must-see. A guided tour is the best way to take in all of the palace's sights and ensure that you don't miss anything. It can be very busy at the Doge's Palace, so it's best to book a tour in advance to avoid getting stuck in the crowds.
