More About Venice
Overview
Venice is known as the city of canals. Enjoy the wonders of Venice on a gondola ride you will never forget. Next, you will come across the Rialto Bridge, which was built during the Renaissance. It is one of four bridges crossing over the Grand Canal and makes for a great photo opportunity. On the island of Murano, the fine art of Venetian glassblowing has taken place since 1291. St. Mark’s Capanile, a bell tower, was utilized by Galileo Galilei to view and study the sky. Journey along Saint Mark's Square, where you will find Saint Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and the Royal Venetian Gardens. Enjoy the fine tunes of the opera at the historic Teatro La Fenice. The fun continues at the annual festival “Carnival of Venice,” where you will find performers wearing festive costumes and Venetian masks.
Planner
One thing Venice has in common with much of Italy: spring and fall are the best times to visit. Summers are hot and crowded. Winters are relatively mild and tourist-free, but there are frequent rainy spells, and at the beginning and end of the season there's the threat of acqua alta, when tides roll in and flood low-lying parts of the city, including Piazza San Marco.
What Mardi Gras is to New Orleans and Carnaval to Rio, Carnevale is to Venice. For the 12 days leading up to quaresima (Lent), the city is given over to feasting and celebration, with more than half a million people attending masquerade balls, historical processions, concerts, plays, street performances, fashion shows, and all other manner of revelry. If you plan to participate, book months in advance.
Top Experiences
Murano Island and Glass Blowing : Murano is renowned for its glass making. Centuries old techniques are still used so observing the artisans is quite unique. Visit the Glass Museum and pick up a one of kind souvenir for yourself.
St. Mark’s Basilica and Doges Palace : The church is on the eastern end of St. Mark’s Square and attached to the Doge’s Palace. The Doge’s Palace was the seat of the Venetian government, doges were the elected officials of Venetian government.
Traverse the Canals : Traveling the canals of Venice may be accomplished in a couple different ways. Rent a traditional gondola which is more expensive but romantic. An alternative is to take the public water bus which travels all the main areas for much less money but is quite scenic and goes to outer islands such as Murano and Burano frequently.
Gallerie dell-Academia : Housing pre-19th century art, the displays in the museum are mostly by Venetian painters and arranged chronologically with themed displays.
