Venice Attractions

The Basilica of St. Mark is an icon of Venice that is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Renowned for its medieval mosaics, it is a living testimony of the Christian faith.

When you think of Venice, an image of its gondolas springs to mind. These distinctive boats have been negotiating the canals since the 11th century.

Take a trip in history to this bridge that was built in 1600. It linked the original government building and Venice’s prison and was used to take prisoners between the two.

The imposing white marble arch of the Rialto Bridge spans the Grand Canal at its narrowest point. Watch Venice glide beneath you, as views from the bridge are stunning.

Regarded as the world’s most glorious ‘high street’, the Grand Canal carves an ‘S’ shape through the heart of the city and is flanked by stunning architecture.

This is the historical, political, cultural and architectural centre of the city. Here you will find most of Venice’s historic monuments, churches, restaurants and shops.
