Top things to do in Venice city include visiting the Piazza San Marco, the Basilica di San Marco, Doge´s Palace and the Torre dell´Orologio. We also recommend the Palazzo Ducale, Ponte di Rialto, Teatro da Fenice and if you only go to one museum, then make it the Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia. Do a tour on a Gondola and get swept up in the magic of the city, the tours are not cheap, but it is Venice and it is wonderful. Take time to stroll leisurely around the city, get a little lost, stop off for a coffee or a wine. Food and coffee can be pricey, so stick to places with locals for better prices.

Road Trips

There are so many places to drive to in the north of Italy, whether you want to do a road trip or a few shorter day trips, there is something wonderful for everyone. The Venice Islands are great and if we had to choose, our top three would be Murano, Burano and Torcello. Take a driver to Padua (Padova) and find Europe’s oldest Botanical Gardens, the Basilica di Sant’Antonio, and Scrovegni Chapel frescoes by Giotto all within the walled city. Verona is not far from Venice, and you go to the Opera at the famous Verona Arena or visit Juliette´s (of Romeo and Juliette) home.
