Discovering Venice and its lagoon

St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace


The true historic heart of Venice, St Mark's Square is home to some of the city's most remarkable monuments. Dominated by the famous basilica and bell tower, it offers an exceptional setting where history, architecture, and the Italian way of life come together.

Just a short walk away, the Doge's Palace reflects the power of the former Republic of Venice and immerses visitors in centuries of history.

Murano and Burano, the iconic islands of the lagoon


In the heart of the lagoon, Murano and Burano preserve traditions that have made Venice famous worldwide. Murano is renowned for its glassblowing craftsmanship, while Burano charms visitors with its colourful houses, peaceful canals, and authentic atmosphere.

These islands reveal a more intimate and unspoilt side of the Venetian Lagoon.

The Venice Carnival and Venetian Traditions


Elegant masks, magnificent costumes, and a magical atmosphere make the Venice Carnival one of the world's most celebrated events. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, it transforms the city into a vast open-air theatre.

Throughout the year, Venice also preserves its renowned craftsmanship, from mask making to gondola building, both enduring symbols of the city's identity.
