Venice is a Romantic city and is a feast for your eyes with magnificent bridges, palaces, and churches. This beautiful city is surrounded by 117 small islands and hence there would not be any car or bike on the roads. Instead you can see lot of canals where boats are the only means of transportation. If you enter Venice city you will appreciate why it is called as “City of Canals”, “City of Waters”, and “City of Bridges”. Now and then you will come across a bridge or a canal.

Before going for a sightseeing tour, I would suggest you to take a walking tour to explore the niceties of Venice. After you check in at a comfortable hotel, relax a little and get back on your feet to visit the world famous monument of St. Mark’s Square. You can comfortably reach the Square in half-an-hour from the place you are staying, unless you have planned your stay at Airport hotels. St. Mark’s Square is described as “Drawing room of Europe” by Great Napoleon.


It is essential to carry a road map with you if you plan to explore the city yourself. Every turn will lead you to a medieval bridge since there are over 400 bridges in this small city. You may get confused initially in proceeding with your tour itinerary. Take a local guide who speaks in English to explain the history behind the famous landmarks.

Next head on to the Byzantine heritage which leaves you spellbound. You will be amazed to see the excellent architectural marvel at the Basilica of San Morocco. It is one of the world’s richly embellished Churches. You can cover the major attractions of Capo Santa Maria Formosa, the Marco Polo’s house and finally reach the Rialto Bridge.

Leave the crowded place and explore your passage through narrow alleys, canals and bridges for reaching the above places quickly.

Explore the beauty of the Doge’s Palace nearby. The palace is pink and white speaking of Gothic marvel and this is an outstanding example of Venice glory. If you are visiting Venice for first time then no wonder you will be taken away by the breathtaking view of the richness and architectural masterpiece. Your guide will explain the glory of the history of this palace where Venetian rulers were residing.

Next day start in the end of the day to take a cruise for enjoying the ride along the Grand Canal of Venice. All the way you can see the most stunning palaces and Churches that stretches along the canal. Learn more about the fascinating tales of the rulers of Venice. You can cover most of the minor canals by renting a cruise for half-a-day.

Avoid visiting Venice during peak summer since the place is over crowded with tourists and you have to take a long line to enter each spot. Again during winter one cannot predict when the place will be flooded, since the city is frequently affected by flood during October and November.

Climate: The climate of Venice is different throughout the year. During winter it may go below freezing and during summer the mercury may soar up to 35 Celsius. Having known as the city of water, Venice gets cooler by lower temperature and gets warmed during summer.
