Piazza San Marco

Experience a gondola ride

The city is a walker’s paradise, but for many, a visit to Venice would be incomplete without a leisurely ride through the city’s waterways. So hop in with a loved one and be serenaded by a gondolier for a truly romantic Venetian experience.

Campanile di San Marco

The Campanile is the tallest bell tower in the city. Climb up to the top, gaze down at the historic city, and feel on top of the world for a spell.

Tour the Grand Canal

There is no better way to befriend the city like taking a tour of the Grand Canal. A ride through this majestic waterway brings you a step closer to the city and its architecture, history, and culture.

Sample Venetian cuisine

Tickle your taste buds to the flavors of authentic Venetian cuisine. Apart from  traditional pizza, delicacies like oca in onto, and polpette will transport you deep into the flavors of the Veneto region. Be prepared to savor the unconventional.

Explore priceless artworks

The city’s waterways add charm and beauty, but impressive artworks by many masters also play a pivotal role in Venice’s aesthetic heritage. Visit one of the numerous art galleries in the city and be stunned by the superlative imagination and artistry of the great painters of old.

Say “salute” with a glass of wine

Venice features some of the best white wines in the region. No day in Venice is complete without sampling a glass or two.

Try some gelato

Try the popular gelato in one of the city’s many gelaterias. These can be found all over the city and are often worth a second (or third) repeat visit.

Indulge in seafood

Perched on the Adriatic, Venice is a hotbed of seafood, replete with foodies from across the globe descending on the city to sample its unique preparations.
