Venice Guide

Venice is a famous city on the northeast coast of Italy, located in the Veneto Region and resting between the Po and Piave Rivers. The port of Venice is used as the gateway to neighbouring countries including Slovenia, Croatia and Greece, as well as domestic crossings around Italy.

What is there to do in Venice?

Few places are more romantic than Venice in the summer. If you were to scan the streets in the midst of August you would find couples being serenaded on a gondola, families feeding each other gelato in the classy restaurants and locals enjoying a glass of vintage wine underneath the rays of the afternoon sun. The entirety of the city is a wave of beauty and elegance, and Canal Grande is the emblem of Venice; water taxis weave between the picturesque canals, fascinating the onlookers who are delighted to tick the remarkable spectacle off their bucket list. The hidden gem lying in the Grande Canal is the reflection from the water – the breathtaking Venetian buildings break out from the beautiful skyline – offering a wonderful mirage of colour and architecture.

Whilst the Grande Canal may bogart much of the attention, various other notable landmarks elevate the city into worldwide regard; Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Marco showcase incredible structures and architectural ingenuity, and St Mark’s Square is a wealth of beauty in itself. After a long day traversing the canals and wonderful buildings, enjoy some quintessential Italian cuisine at one the high quality restaurants, with seafood typically being the day’s speciality.

How do you get around Venice?

The lack of cars make transport more simple and environmentally friendly than in other cities, with many choosing to travel by foot. Walking around the charming streets can be exhausting, so to save time and energy, hop in a water taxi.
