4 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.

Dorsoduro and Road of 52 Tunnels are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Explore hidden gems such as Cannaregio and Basilica di Aquileia. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Venice: Verona (Piazzale Castel San Pietro, Basilica di Santa Anastasia, &more), Palazzo Te (in Mantua) and Oasi Ca' di Mezzo (in Codevigo). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Doge's Palace, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, explore the historical opulence of Castello Scaligero, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Borghetto sul Mincio.
