Venice holidays

Relax and discover

Local culture
Venice, the ‘sinking city’ which has inspired artists, writers and poets the world over, has plenty to offer on the culture front. It is a city preserved in time and still bears a remarkable resemblance to the works of Canneletto and his friends, which you can view in the Gallerie dell' Accademia. The maze of tiny side streets is a shopaholic’s haven. From tiny botteghe where you can buy traditional Carnevale masks, to workshops specialising in Venetian glassware, you’ll find plenty to bring home and remind you of your stay.

Short breaks
Not only do our city breaks make the perfect additions to holidays on the lakes or in the Dolomites, they're also great as stand alone holidays with flights, transfers and accommodation included. 3, 4 and 7 night short breaks are available in Venice at the Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal, Hotel Malibran and the Hotel Do Pozzi.

Evening atmosphere
In the early evening order a glass of ‘ombre’, it is white wine, but known by this name in the Veneto region because wine sellers had to move with the shadow of the bell tower in St Mark’s Square to keep their wares cool. As the sun sets stroll over the Rialto Bridge and browse the many shops and market stalls that line it. For dinner Venetian style it is all about eating on the go, make like a local, graze on various tapas-style cicheti dishes whilst perched on a stool in a bacaro.
