Venice.
Venice
This glorious city, built on an archipelago of more than 100 islands, traversed by 200 canals spanned by 400 bridges, continues to rise above the waters of the lagoon and the flowing tide of visitors. The beginning and end of the day are the best times to marvel at this fabulous architecture and antiquity of this great trading capital – the ancient basilica of St Mark’s the Doges Palace, Rialto Bridge, the Campanile and the
Bridge of Sighs.

All of Venice is easily accessible on speedy vaporetti and stately, serene gondolas on the labyrinth of canals, intersected by pretty bridges and narrow walkways. For shopping, the Mercerie is lined with elegant designer boutiques. For more affordable shopping, visit the streets around the Rialto Bridge or the Lido. Whatever you do, make sure you save some time for some aimless wandering so not to miss the delights that the 'calle' of Venice have to offer. |

Spend the end of the day just soaking up the atmosphere of San Marco
in one of the square's famous cafes.
Many of them have a live music band outside in good weather;
also seek out some of the cities' typical Venetian restaurants,
where you will be rewarded with a more authentic choice. |
