Take time on your Venice vacation to enjoy shopping for the famed Venetian masks at local shops, which are handcrafted and come in an assortment of shapes, colors and bedazzlements. Venice is also known for ornate glass-work, especially Murano glass, which consists of crystalline glass, enameled glass, glass with threads of gold, multicolored glass, milk glass, and imitation gemstones made of glass.
A must-see on your trip to Venice is Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square) – where you can explore St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace (a great Gothic building with amazing architecture), and the Torre dell’Orologio (a stunning clock tower). Ascend the Campanile, the city’s tallest building, for a great view of the entire lagoon or enjoy a performance during Venice’s opera, ballet or concert seasons.
Venetian cuisine is brimming with seasonal favorites and fresh seafood. Enjoy traditional dishes and antipasti with area wines including whites like Tocai and Soave or reds like Valpolicella and Cabernet Franc. Then, finish your meal off with a hazelnut gelato – simply delizioso!
