Experience the best of Venice

Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.

The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.

Away from the main routes, the six sestieri reward wandering. Dorsoduro has the Gallerie dell'Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Cannaregio keeps the historic Jewish Ghetto and quiet canal-side bars, and Castello leads to the Arsenale and the gardens of the Biennale. Out in the lagoon, Murano is known for glassmaking, Burano for brightly painted houses and lace, and Torcello for its ancient cathedral.

Venetians snack on cicchetti, small bites served with a glass of wine in bacari, and dine on seafood risotto, sarde in saor and squid-ink pasta. April, May, September and October bring the kindest weather, summer is warm and crowded, and winter brings misty mornings, Carnival masks and the occasional high tide lapping across the piazza.
