Venice is a city in Italy famous for its unique geography that has aroused the curiosity of artists and prominent figures. It is made up of a group of islands in the Adriatic Sea. On these islands are the homes and historic buildings that seem to float and give this city its worldwide recognition as the city on water.
The city of Venice is crossed by canals, which can be crossed by bridges that look like something out of a postcard. Those canals that do not have bridges can be crossed by Traghetto, a gondola with fewer frills than the typical gondolas that take long rides along the canals.
The Grand Canal is the most important canal in Venice. One way to get around it is to take a Vaporetto, a barge that works like a water bus and picks up passengers stop by stop.
The high season in Venice is in August since it is the height of summer there, so we advise you to take this month into account if you want to enjoy long days and the heat.
Now, if what interests you is getting to know the city during its iconic carnival, then February is your time of year to enjoy this exciting tradition.
In Venice, the local cuisine stands out for using elements that come from the lagoon for its most typical dishes. Also, you can appreciate an oriental influence in its flavors, which can be glimpsed in the aromatic spices that it uses.
Some of their dishes that you have to try are: Granchi molli fritti, fried tender crabs, Risotto di vongole, which is rice with clams prepared with white wine, salt, pepper, parsley and garlic, or Polenta con schie, polenta with small fried lagoon prawns.
Although, if these flavors do not convince you, you can also find the traditional Italian pasta and pizza on every corner.
Of course, do not forget to accompany with wine, that the water in Venice is only part of the landscape.
Among the must-sees in Venice are a visit to San Marco Pier and the Bridge of Sighs. Also, a stop in the Doge's Palace and the Basilica of San Marcos. And you can't miss the sunset on the Rialto Bridge.
Would you like to ride a gondola through channels of crystal clear water? Are you looking to discover mysterious places full of myths and history? Do you want to get lost in narrow streets and be surprised by the gothic details in every corner of the way?
