Venice Travel Guide

A dream floating on the Adriatic lagoon — St. Mark's Square, gondola canals and colorful Burano, an unrivaled water city.

★ ★ 1 Guides · 103 Attractions

📍 Destination Overview

Venice is a city built on a lagoon, with over a hundred islands linked by bridges and canals - no cars, only boats. St. Mark's Square was called "Europe's finest drawing room" by Napoleon; the golden Basilica and the Doge's Palace reflect the glory of the maritime republic. Palaces along the Grand Canal mirror in the water, the Rialto Bridge bustles with life, and gondolas sway through narrow canal alleys. Burano's colorful fishing village and Murano's glass workshops are enchanting corners of the lagoon.
