Transportation in Venice
The Grand Canal, which cuts through the center of the city, is like Venice's main street in this canal-filled city.The boats runs along the Grand Canal from the train station and makes many stops, so it's a good way to visit the main canal and get a good overview of the city.If you want something more up close and personal, take a taxi and a gondola, though they tend to be more expensive.
Venice Festivals
Venice's Carnival, held 40 days before Easter, is one of the most lively and colourful celebrations in Italy. The Venetians go all out, wearing festive masks and costumes for a 10-day street party. In July, there's the Redentore Regatta, an important festival held right on the Grand Canal.
Guided Tours
You'll find guided tours for every place worth visiting, from well-known palaces to lesser-known destinations.Also, there are food tours and classes in rowing, cooking or making those beautiful theatrical masks Venice is famous for.
When to Go
