With 180 canals and 450 bridges, there is no city quite like Venice. Rich in museums, magnificent palaces, and history and art splashed together on the walls of buildings that line the streets. Add the transient feeling and quiet everyday life to that and you get a beauty that is truly apparent.
Venice is a showcase of art and architecture floating on a lagoon, Venice is indeed a lifetime experience. Fascinating maze of Canals and lanes, Renaissance palaces and paintings, the city is truly a paradise for travellers.
Venice is also known as "City of Bridges", stretching along the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers.
You can explore a variety of attractions in this lagoon city. Saint Mark's Square - Piazza San Marco in Main Square surrounded by chic sidewalk cafes and fancy shops is a great place to relax. St. Mark's Basilica - Basilica di San Marco is a divine church blending the architecture of East and West. At the St. Mark's square another most impressive building well worth a tour is the Doge’s Palace. Grand Canal is the main street of Venice full of different kinds of boats lined along the beautiful buildings. Make sure to ride on a ‘Gondola’, the iconic boat of Venice.
Rialto Bridge is the main bridge crossing the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice, dating back to more than 400 years and is also one of the must see attractions of the city. One of Italy's best art museums Galleria del’Accademia with 24 rooms in 3 historic buildings is worth a visit to know about the history and culture of Venice.
