Day 1 Depart USA Evening departure. Meals and refreshments served on board. Day 2 Venice Morning arrival into Marco Polo Airport. Transfer on your own to a hotel in Venice, a city aptly called the Queen of Cities, a magical tapestry of Renaissance buildings perched on narrow canals with sleek gondolas gliding silently beneath ornate bridges. Balance of day is at leisure. After unpacking, you may want to mingle with the Venetians, walking through their streets (called "Calle") or sample the public bus transportation ("Vaporetto" boats) as you glide along the Grand Lagoon. No matter what you decide to do, your Central Holidays local representative will give you invaluable assistance. Day 3 Venice Your morning walking tour is highlighted by visits to the golden Basilica of St. Mark and the Doge's Palace decorated by 16th century artists such as Titian and Tintoretto. Also view the Bridge of Sighs and Piombi Prison. Remainder of the day is free. (B) Day 4 Venice to USA (or extend your stay) After breakfast, you'll transfer on your own to Venice's Marco Polo airport for your return flight home, arriving the same day. (B)
