Explore Venice's majestic bridges, Renaissance heartlands, ride gondolas and celebrate delightful carnivals with Holidify's best Venice tour packages.

Venice is the capital of the Venencia and Veneto regions. The best time to visit Venice is during the summer months, from April to May. You can tour this major seaport city in 2-3 days. Some iconic destinations to see with Venice holiday packages are the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, Murano, Gallerie dell'Accademia, Zattere and San Sebastiano.

Opposite San Giorgio Maggiore Island, Piazza San Marco is Venice's central square, home to the circa. 1092 St. Mark's Basilica, showing gilded domes, exquisite frescoes and Byzantine mosaics. Nearby, the Campanile bell tower overlooks the city's dazzling red roofs. You can climb the tower for a small fee. Doge's Palace and Torre dell Orologio also attract visitors to the neighbourhood.

Riding a gondola or Vaporetto is one of the most romantic things to do with Venice holiday packages. Boats and gondolas are not stage props here; they are essential means to get out and about. Ride a gondola on Canal Grande that crisscrosses monumental 13th-century buildings and runs 12 metres deep.

Ponte di Rialto is an important pedestrian bridge spanning the Grand Canal. Built symmetrically with ornate stone, it frames the canal perfectly and is lined with vendors selling jewellery and souvenirs. In addition, Ponte dell'Accademia Museum on the canal hosts pre-19th century art like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man showcasing a man's ideal proportions, Canaletto and Bellini.

Passing over the Rio di Palazzo, the historic Bridge of Sighs connects Doge's Palace to the Prigioni Nuove. It is one of Venice's most-viewed structures displaying Gothic-style arches where, as legend has it, criminals were once taken to cast a last glance over Venice before their fatal fall.

While in Venice, try out their fish-based traditional dishes, including Bigoli in salsa (pasta in an anchovy sauce), sarde in saor (sardines preserved in a sweet and sour marinade) and risotto al Nero di seppia. In addition, Italian red-bitter liqueurs like Campari feature heavily at almost every bar in the Lido area.
