    "A highly recommended excursion. Murano and Burano are two incredibly charming islands, each with its own unique character. The glassblowing demonstration was fascinating, and Burano, with its colorful houses, is simply spectacular. Our guide, Giulia, was very friendly, approachable, and professional, explaining the history and interesting facts about the islands in an engaging and entertaining way. Without a doubt, one of the best experiences of our trip to Venice."

The Best Tours & Experiences in Venice

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in Europe and a truly unique destination in the world. With its canals, bridges, and historic squares, it offers an unparalleled experience. It's a must-visit when traveling to Italy!

How Was Venice Built?

Venice was founded in the 5th century by refugees fleeing barbarian invasions. It was built on a group of islands in a lagoon, using massive wooden piles to stabilize the buildings. Submerged in water, the wood eventually petrified, creating a solid foundation on which palaces and other structures were erected.

This remarkable engineering allowed Venice to flourish as a maritime power during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

What to See

Among the city’s most iconic sites is St. Mark’s Square, home to the magnificent St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. A stroll across the Rialto Bridge—one of the city’s most famous landmarks—offers spectacular views of the Grand Canal.

It’s also well worth taking time to visit Murano, Burano, and Torcello, a trio of islands with traditional lifestyles and a wonderfully picturesque atmosphere.

Getting Around Venice

The best way to get around Venice is on foot, wandering through its narrow streets and crossing its charming bridges. Of course, a classic gondola ride along the canals is an unforgettable experience, offering a completely different perspective of the city.
