These days Venice is generally known for its glass, canals and gondolas, but that doesn’t mean that is all there is. Venice is also one of the more exquisite places to see some beautiful Italian sights, due to the large investment of artists of all types living among the canals and other parts of the city.
Not only will you find churches, but palaces and waterways or art galleries galore. Not only is it a romantic spot like much of Italy manages to hold, but artistic as well. But where do we start our tour of Venice?

Finally as always, you can take a gondola ride Venice tour although it is often suggested to avoid it due to the fees and that they are just done for tourists these days. If you don’t mind the cost though, and you manage to get a private one, they can certainly be romantic and a relaxing way to get around. Just remember to enjoy those canals most of all!
