   Venice Travel Information

Venice is one of the most interesting and romantic cities in the world, making it one of Italy’s top travel destinations. Venice is virtually the same as it was six hundred years ago, which adds to the fascinating character and allure of this romantic city.  There is no other place quite like Venice, a city built on water, where the main streets are canals and the main transportation are handled by the water busses, also known as Vaporettos. The Grand Canal is the main thoroughfare. Riding a Vaporetto through the Grand Canal between the old villas adorned with gold architectural features is an unforgettable experience. The Rialto Bridge is the main bridge crossing the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice. For some of the freshest seafood, visit the Rialto Market, an interesting and lively food market with lots of rustic eateries, vendors and quaint shops. 

Piazza San Marco is the main square of Venice surrounded by chic sidewalk cafes and fancy shops. Take a wander through the winding streets and public gardens, and then enjoy a coffee at one of Venice's many sidewalk cafes followed by some Italian style tapa snacks.   Surprisingly, Venice is also home to one of the world's great modern art museums in the Peggy Guggenheim, which provides a nice contrast to the classic Venetian art of the Gallerie Accademia. This is a city for art lovers and romantics, and anyone who wants to travel back in time.
