Relax in Piazza San Marco, take a moonlit gondola ride or just wander the streets to experience the little secrets this fine city holds. No matter where you go, you’ll find history, beauty and romance.

The Sinking City
Little by Little

Some of the more important islands in the lagoon include Murano, Torcello, San Francesco del Deserto, and Burano

Riding the Waves

There are few experiences more awe inspiring than taking a gondola ride in Venice, with a gondolier in the Grand Canal in front of Santa Maria della Salute. These Gondola’s are long, sleek, black and slightly crooked. Similar in some ways to a canoe, but slightly more luxurious, guided through the waters of Venice by single oar, worked by a professional gondolier.
