6 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.

Kids will enjoy Doge's Palace and Canal Grande. Explore Venice's surroundings by going to Padua (Palazzo delle Debite, Scrovegni Chapel, &more), Verona (Piazza Bra, Arena di Verona, &more) and Chiesa di San Valentino (in Bussolengo). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Basilica di San Marco, take in the architecture and atmosphere at San Giorgio Maggiore, snap pictures at Ponte dei Sospiri, and explore the world behind art at Museo Correr.
