Venice is a remarkable place, its
streets and canals fringed with
grand palazzi, historic monuments
and beautiful churches. The city’s
epic grandeur has attracted lovers,
artists and poets for centuries, and
never fails to inspire those who
visit. It’s easily explored on foot –
as you wander the pathways and
bridges, you’ll come face to face
with some classic Venetian scenes;
washing lines overhanging tiny
canals and buzzy piazzas lined
with market stalls.
Walking isn’t the only way to get
around Venice, though – there’s
nothing more romantic than
being sung to by a gondolier as
you’re punted gently down the
waterways, or more glamorous
than gliding along the Grand
Canal in an open-top water taxi.
When it comes to sightseeing, St
Mark’s Square is a good place to
start. It’s home to the twin jewels
in Venice’s crown, the Palazzo
Ducale (or Doge’s Palace) and St
Mark’s Basilica.

“Arriving in Venice by train is
memorable – travelling across the
Ponte della Liberta causeway with
fabulous views from your window
makes the perfect start to your Venice
city break.”
