Vacation Rentals in Venice

Nothing is more closely associated with Venice than the sight of numerous brown-burned men in their ringed shirts who ensure that the gondolas move leisurely across the canals. Join one of these gondola rides and explore the lagoon city from a completely different perspective. Larger tour groups also have the option of booking private tours such as exclusive city tours.

Its location by the sea also has an effect on Venetian cuisine, which is characterised by fish and seafood. You should try the delicious seafood risotto, the spaghetti al Vongole with mussels and the liver on Venetian polenta (Fegato alla Venexiana con Polenta). The white bread slices available in many bars are ideal for the small appetite.

Since 1885, the Venice Biennial has been held in November and is one of the most famous art exhibitions in the world. If you are interested in art, you should definitely visit the Biennale as part of your visit, especially as the programme is flanked by a music festival, a theatre festival and the associated film festivals.

Climb on one of the water taxis and visit the island of Murano, also known as the island of glassblowers. See the masters of this craft at work over your shoulder and have a very personal unique piece made in one of the glass manufactories, which will always remind you of your trip to Venice.

The wealth to which Venice owes its magnificent buildings originates primarily from the time of the city state as a naval power. Immerse yourself in this exciting period and learn more about how the rise of Venice as a trading and seafaring metropolis began at the Naval Museum.
