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 Basilica di San Marco. Explore Venice's surroundings by going to Padua (Palazzo delle Debite, Scrovegni Chapel, &more), Chiesa di San Valentino (in Bussolengo) and Verona (Piazza Bra, Arena di Verona, &more). There's still lots to do: explore the activities along Canal Grande, snap pictures at Ponte di Rialto, don't miss a visit to Piazza San Marco, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at San Giorgio Maggiore.
