Best Things to Do in Venice
Losing yourself in Venezia's charm is the main reason to visit. But you should also tour landmarks like Saint Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. On a different day, you could take a ferry (vaporetto) to the smaller islands of Lido, Murano or Burano. You should also make time for art: Don’t miss the Peggy Guggenheim Collection or the Gallerie dell’Accademia. And if you long to hear an Italian opera, book tickets to a show at the Teatro La Fenice.
