Experience Venice: what to do, what to see
Venice is more than just a city, it's a world in and of itself that is filled to the brim with wonders, curiosities and emotions. Wander its streets, cruise out to the beaches with a Venice car hire and stumble upon the Bridge of Sighs.
Essentials in Venice
Saint Mark's Basilica: The basilica radiates on the entire square, attracting curious travellers from all around the world. Its Byzantine façade is topped by cupolas, exalted by lintels, arches and vaults. It's beautiful and charming, almost unreal.
Galleria dell'Accademia: By far the most beautiful museum in Venice is this one! It has an impressive collection dating from the 14th century to the 18th including masterpieces from the likes of Bellini, Giorgione, Tintoretto, Veronese and Titian.
Piazza San Marco: Venice's main square, this is where all the action happens. It's the heart of the city, the buzz and the hum, the social and political centre.
Peggy Guggenheim Museum: Peggy, somehow avoiding the Nazis, managed to collect more than 200 works by avant-garde and modern artists for her home on the Grand Canal. Today's its a shrine to modern art that dabbles in surrealism, Italian futurism and abstract expressionism.
