Venice is a lively coastal Venetian Riviera full of stylish boutiques, cafes and promenade shops. There are no beaches in Venice itself though there are spectacular sandy beaches, lagoons and resorts just 20 minutes away and obviously plenty of transport exists. Venice is a mesmerising city and perfect base for exploring the wondrous Venetian Riviera interior or beaches like the 8 mile long Lido di Venezia just twenty minutes away by water bus.

Guide to Venice. It isn't difficult however, to escape the thronging crowds of the major tourist spots. Venice is a walker’s paradise and it’s easy to head off down narrow streets and alleys to discover hidden piazzas along the miles of canal. Head to the districts of Dorsoduro, San Polo and Castello for a more authentic and quieter Venetian ambience. These districts are chock full of lesser-known monuments and works of art just begging to be visited. The Vaporetto - Venice’s very own waterbus system makes it easy to manoeuvre around the city. Cheap and easy, it is possible visit the other islands and Murano comes highly recommended. Home of the famous Murano glass, this modestly sized island brims with shops adorned with thousands of glass items, from traditional souvenirs to jewellery and designer ware. There are even glassblowing demonstrations for visitors to watch. The busiest and most surreal time to visit Venice however, is during the colourful Carnevale, celebrated in the ten days running up to Shrove Tuesday. The streets are awash with anonymous figures in exquisite masks and other fancy dress mayhem. There is face painting, music, concerts as a good-humoured, lively feeling floods the city as Venice becomes like one gigantic theatre back-drop. Venice really is a magical place and unarguably one of Italy’s most enigmatic gems. Gondola Ride. St Mark’s Square. Grand Canal. Rialto Bridge. |
