One of the most captivating places in the world. From St. Mark's Basilica to the elegant Rialto Bridge, Venice is a Canaletto canvas come to life. Stay in the city centre to truly appreciate the unique atmosphere of this ancient city with all the museums and galleries on your doorstep. As the day trippers catch their coaches home you'll be able to enjoy wandering the canals of Venice in the warm summer breeze whilst taking your holiday snaps without the crowds stepping in to shot.
Short breaks are available online while city add-ons must be booked via your travel agent or by calling our reservations team.
Our opinion
· One of the most beautiful cities in the world with a wealth of history · A great base from which to explore the islands of the Lagoon - Murano, Burano and Torcello or the elegant Venice Lido with its beach
· Access to hotels in Venice is not always easy. Please be prepared to carry your luggage some distance.

Getting about
The best way to explore Venice's winding alleyways is by foot. But there are many 'vaporetti', water buses, that run along the Grand Canal and also out to the fascinating islands of the Venetian Lagoon.
