27 days in Venice Itinerary

Virtually unchanged for the last six centuries, Venice is actually a group of islands made famous by a series of canals, bridges, monuments, piazzas, and narrow pedestrian lanes.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Doge's Palace and Scrovegni Chapel. You'll explore and learn at Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Gallerie dell'Accademia. Explore Venice's surroundings by going to Padua (Pasticceria Biasetto, Incantesimi di Alberto, &more), Burano (Martina Vidal Venezia, New Arte Fuga - Glass Factory, &more) and Fondazione Bisazza (in Montecchio Maggiore). There's much more to do: admire the landmark architecture of Basilica di San Marco, see the interesting displays at Museo Ebraico di Venezia, snap pictures at Ponte dei Sospiri, and take in panoramic vistas at St Mark's Campanile.
