Venice Quick Facts
A Traveler's Guide to Venice
Venice has many nicknames. "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Bridges", "City of Water", and "City of Masks" are just a few of them. No matter what you call it, Venice is one of the most beautiful cities ever built by man. It's history goes back centuries and there is plenty to see and do in this amazing Italian city. Here are a few things that you simply must see while in Venezia.
1. The Grand Canal - Venice is a city built on water. The fastest way to traverse this amazing city is not in a car or bus, but on a gondola. The gondoliers will take you anywhere in the city you would like to go, but be sure to visit the main avenue of Venice, the Grand Canal. This canal is spanned by many of Venice's most historic bridges and acts as the main thoroughfare for the city.
2. Piazza San Marco - This square is at the heart of the city. It is here that you can find the famous Basilica San Marco, not to mention many shops and cafes. In the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte himself loved to frequent this square on occasion.
3. The Doge's Palace - This was the official residence of the Doge, or King, of Venice for centuries. The building is no longer a residence but has been preserved as a museum. Inside there are paitings by some of the greatest Italian artists. Below the palace are the dungeons. Visitors can still tour these cells beneath the main floors of the palace.
4. Glass blowing demonstration - Venice has long been known for its glass merchandise. These products are blown here in Venice by some of the world's best glass crafstmen. Glass blowing demonstrations are free and you can purchase your own authentic Venetian glass souvenir in the shops at the workshop itself. Venetian glass blowers are the best in the world an have inherited their skills from generations of their ancestors before them. Stop by and watch a true master at work.
