“Rialto , Erberia , San Giacometto square , here you find traditional and modern places . You may choose to have a glass of wine sitting at a table outside , enjoyng the view on the Canal Grande or standing in the square to make small talks . Others prefer to go at the next Campo Bella Vienna to eat Cicchetti (fingerfood) and dancing to the rhythm of the music of the nearby bar .”

““The most colorful island of the lagoon” If you visit Venice for more than one day, I highly suggest a visit to Burano, a lovely island in the Venetian Lagoon, about 40 minutes on a waterbus from Venice. The Burano Island is mostly famous for its brightly colored houses lined with the canals, which create a sort of urban rainbow. According to the legend, the island's fishermen were the first to color their houses, so they could see them while they were out fishing. True or not, today Burano boasts a unique cheery atmosphere: a sort of dreamland, with flower boxes sitting on the windowsills and gondolas passing along the canals… The island is also famous for its artisan lace production: in the many craft shops that dot the streets you will have the opportunity to admire the master artisans at work, and to buy lace products of the highest quality. Also, among the Burano’s attractions, there's the Lace Museum and a 15th century leaning tower, which is the bell tower of the San Martino church. The colorful island of Burano is the perfect place for a half-day excursion, to discover Venice’s craft tradition and breathe the peacefulness and prettiness of this fisherman’s town.”

“Famous! It can take a entire day to go through the Biennale at arsenale and 2 days do see both Arsenale and Giardini. However, years after years, if you only have a day or a half day to dedicate to the biennale I recommend going to Arsenale rather than Giardini.”

“Luxury palace where you can do shopping and discover Venice from above! The Fondaco terrace has one of the most beautiful view in Venice.”

““The island of Glass” The enchanting island of Murano is one of the most characteristic places in the Venetian Lagoon, as well as the most famous. Composed by seven minor islands, it represents the ideal location for a half-day trip, and a great break from the crowds of Venice. The Murano Island is internationally renowned for the art of glass making: an ancient craft tradition, handed down from generation to generation, that represents an inestimable richness for Venice. A few centuries ago, all the Venetian glass factories were moved to this island in order to protect the glass-making secrets. Today, the tradition continues and tourist can enjoy a visit to the Glass Museum or to the craft shops selling hand-crafted glass sculptures and souvenirs of rare beauty. The Murano Island also has several historical treasures, such as the Romanesque churches, as well as picturesque canals and good restaurants that serve local specialties. A tour to Murano is one of the best things to do if you are in Venice, not only to admire its beauty, but also to discover the authentic, ancient traditions of the city.”

“The most famous church in the island. Simply wonderful. Guided tour suggested. ”

“St Mark's Square is the principal public square of Venice. The Square is dominated at its eastern end by the great church of St Mark.”
