About Venice

What to See on Venice, Italy Tours

Waterfront palazzos and palaces make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. Without a doubt, Venice is one of the most romantic cities on Earth.

The uniqueness of the city goes down to how it was built, actually, the technique of stilts was used to erect Venice, connecting numerous petite islands, divided by dozens of canals.

Those in love or who feel like emerging in the atmosphere of Venice revel in the delicate boat rides down its web of canals. Byzantine and Islamic architecture awaits around every corner. Heart-wrenching operas can be found down hidden alleys off the Grand Canal where a small intimate setting makes up for a pared-down ensemble.

First-time visitors have no trouble finding the key sights around Venice, and the number one place to add on your Venice itinerary is the glorious Piazza San Marco. This is the major square of the city, home to the red-brick Campanile Bell Tower and the unique Saint Mark's Basilica, the appealing architectural style of the cathedral is the Italo-Byzantine with many elements in gold and white.

Standing on the Saint Mark's Square, the Doges Palace (which is the former seat of the city's government) is among other top attractions of Venice worth seeing. Also, take a look at the adjacent limestone Bridge of Sighs (called Ponte dei Sospiri), it used to be the path of prisoners to jail and is a famous city sight.
