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 Ponte di Rialto. 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 much more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Canal Grande, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza San Marco, explore the world behind art at Museo Correr, and pause for some serene contemplation at San Giorgio Maggiore.
