Live the adventure of Gardaland Resort, the first destination to have fun in Italy! Unforgettable emotions are waiting in the incredible Amusement Park, in a completely themed Aquarium and a fairy-like hotel.

Gardaland resort is a great place to spend great time with whole family. The youngest children had a good time with attractions designed for them. The older ones - grandpa and parents :) - could collect large doses of adrenaline while riding on roller coasters - incredible infrastructure.
We had really fun staying there!
2. Canal Grande

Venice's main water thoroughfare, lined with great Renaissance palaces, is a colorful and busy spectacle of gondolas and vaporetti.
Reviewed By Jeanne J - Bellevue, Washington, USA
Take the slow vaporetto so you have time to look at both sides and study the palaces imagining living here in past centuries. Colorful facades, boatmen and moorings, all the business of the city passing by. Saw a “hearse” boat among many others.
3. Doge's Palace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the building and its sculptural decoration date from various periods. The interior, with works by artists such as Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, A.Vittoria and Tiepolo, includes vast council chambers, superbly decorated residential apartments, and austere prison cells. Along the facades of the Palace run loggias that overlook St. Mark’s Square and the lagoon. The combined entrance ticket to the St. Mark’s Square Museums grants access to the Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr, Museo Archeologico Nazionale and Monumental Rooms of Biblioteca Marciana.

With a Venice museum pass this attraction is amongst 4 museums included in the price and although you may have a short wait, it facilitates entry.
The museum is always busy but because it is so vast it is not overly oppressive.
The artwork and decor is stupendous, there is ample information in multiple languages and the atmosphere very relaxed, with many museums the security personnel can be on your back too much.
You get to cross The Bridge of Sighs from the inside and the prison is intriguing.
It was our favourite must see or do attraction in the city.
How the other half lived in the Middle Ages.
4. Basilica di San Marco

Blending the architectural styles of East and West, Venice's magnificent basilica was consecrated in 832 AD as an ecclesiastical building to house the remains of St. Mark.

Well worth getting in line as it moves fairly quickly. Some pushy Russians but that's nothing new! No bags allowed so you have to leave those at a separate entrance. What a ceiling, what detail, amazing, inspiring, unforgettable. Again another site that needs to be experienced in solitude.
5. St. Mark's Square
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
It is said that Napoleon called San Marco "the drawing room of Europe." And it is a breathtakingly beautiful place. But the square has long been a lure for massive numbers of pigeons, drawn by the massive numbers of tourists who readily feed them. While the tourists happily post for photos amid the flock, there are concerns that the birds' presence--and what they leave behind--will damage the centuries old architecture and art work.
Reviewed By Jeanne J - Bellevue, Washington, USA
Just wander through, stopping to gaze at the people and the architecture. Exteriors of Doge’s Palace, Basilica, good views of statuary of upper levels, bell towers and clocks. Later in the day the restaurants have competing orchestras. Quiet in the mornings. Later long lines waiting to get in to attractions. Everybody seems to pass through the square carrying all sorts of things. You can roam through the streets behind the square toward Rialto Bridge or other directions but it is very hard to get lost.
6. Ponte di Rialto

Considered the true heart of Venice, this landmark bridge, characterized by its 24-foot arch, is built on approximately 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years after it was built.

Was in Venice in Sept but my Wife would not let me treat her. Went on line back in England and made contact with Marco.
Had a bespoke 30mm blue cameo made with a rope surround. Had matching earrings made at the same time. Marco kept me informed throughout the waiting time .
Received the pendant and earrings and the workmanship is excellent. I know on Christmas day my Wife is going to love them as she has always wanted a blue cameo.
Thank you Marco and your family.

A really engaging and interesting introduction to the region and prosecco with wonderful wines and foods. Beautiful surroundings, great to see the vineyard and fantastic knowledge of the product and production. 5*. I would recommend this to everyone. Our host was amazing - we could not have asked for more from our experience.
