Best Islands to Travel in 2023

Introduction

Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Built on 118 small islands and connected by over 400 bridges, it’s filled with incredible architecture, museums, and art. In this post we’ll explore some of its top attractions as well as some lesser-known gems that you can visit while staying there.

Museums

• The Doge’s Palace, Venice: This museum is home to some of the most breathtaking works of art in all of Italy. You’ll be able to see many paintings from Titian and Tintoretto as well as sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello.
• Frari Church, Venice: This church was built in 1339 and contains several impressive tombs for its members who passed away during that time period. One such tomb belongs to Francesco Foscari, who was one of Venetian nobility during his lifetime (and also served as doge twice). There are also other notable items here such as a collection from master painter Giovanni Bellini called “Madonna di San Rocco”.
• Correr Museum, Venice: This building houses various pieces of artwork including paintings by artists like Veronese and Tiepolo along with sculptures by Canova himself! There are also some great Egyptian artifacts on display here too so if you’re looking for something different than just paintings then definitely consider checking this museum out while visiting Venice next summer!

Architecture

Venice is a beautiful city, with a rich history of architecture. It’s also home to some of Italy’s most famous buildings and bridges. There are many canals and squares that you can explore on foot or by boat.

The Grand Canal

The Grand Canal is the main water-route through the city of Venice. It is almost 3.2 km long, and it runs from the Piazzale Roma to La Fenice opera house at its northernmost point. The canal is lined with some of the most beautiful palazzi in Venice, including Ca’ d’Oro (the Golden House), Palazzo Grassi, Palazzo Barbaro and Palazzo Venier dei Leoni (home to Peggy Guggenheim’s modern art collection). The Grand Canal was originally built to transport goods to and from the city; however today it serves mostly as a tourist attraction for gondolas or smaller boats called “vaporetti”.

St. Mark’s Square

• St. Mark’s Square
• The Basilica of San Marco
• The Doge’s Palace
• Basilica di Santa Maria dei Frari and Palazzo Ducale are also featured on this list.

Piazza San Marco

Piazza San Marco is the main attraction of Venice and a popular meeting place. It’s also one of the most visited sights in Italy, as well as one of Europe’s largest squares. The square itself is surrounded by shops and restaurants, many offering outdoor seating so you can enjoy some sunshine while you eat or drink.

The pigeons are everywhere–on statues, statues themselves and just about anything else they can find! There are so many pigeons on this square that it might seem like they own it!

Rialto Bridge

Located in Venice, Italy, the Rialto Bridge connects the Grand Canal to the Rialto market. It was built in 1591 and is considered to be one of the oldest bridges in Venice. The only other way to cross over this busy waterway is by boat.

This bridge was designed by Antonio da Ponte and has been featured in many movies including The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) starring Matt Damon or The Tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie

Ponte Santa Trinit(a)

Ponte Santa Trinit(a) is a bridge that connects Venice with the Lido. It’s named after the church of Santa Trinit(a), and also known as “Bridge of Sighs.”

The original Ponte della Paglia was built in 1591 but was washed away by floods in 1609, so it had to be rebuilt again. This time, it was made of stone instead of wood — but still didn’t last long enough: In 1763 another flood destroyed it completely!
