Venice holidays

Canals, quiet lanes and a city best explored slowly.

Venice becomes more rewarding when you leave time beyond the main squares. Stay long enough for neighbourhood walks, a waterside pause and a considered visit to the art or architecture that interests you.

Venice

Make it your kind of trip.

Around San Marco

Choose a focused visit to the landmarks you most want to see, with admissions checked ahead.

Quieter neighbourhoods

Explore Cannaregio or Dorsoduro for another perspective between the busiest sightseeing areas.

Lagoon outings

Consider an island visit if you have enough time, allowing for boat journeys and the return to your hotel.
