Romantic Venice

A city on water without a single car: canals, humpbacked bridges and palaces mirrored in the lagoon. It's at its best early in the morning, while the streets are empty, and in the evening, when the tourists head home.

👀 What to see

• St Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace
• The islands of Burano (colourful houses) and Murano (glass)
• Sunset from the Accademia Bridge

🍽 What to taste

• Cicchetti — Venetian tapas in bacaro bars
• A spritz on the Zattere waterfront

⚓ Quiet spot

The Cannaregio district and the island of Torcello — Venice without the crowds.
