Venice Visitor Information
Home to the Venice Biennale and its Masquerade Ball, it comes as no suprise that Venice is the city of romance, culture and art. Divided into six zones and with over a hundred and fifty canals, there is no other place to compare.
Attractions to visit while here should include the San Marco basilica and square. Found in the heart of Venice, this major tourist magnet supplies that breathtaking 'I've arrived in Venice' feeling. Take a gondola ride along the 'S' shaped Grand Canal and enjoy Venice's disappearing architecture in style.
Much of Venice can be visited on foot, but as Venice is made up of bridges crossing canals, this can be a tiring experience. Venice is the only city in the world to employ a completely water based public transport system. Make the most of the boat rides on offer and travel across to the islands of Murano and Burano where you can attend glass blowing and lace making studios.
