Venice or Venezia with its 100 islands is frequently visited by travellers from around the world! Venture out into Venice for a variety of unmissable experiences including canals, gondolas and beautiful architecture. And if that’s not stunning enough, The Grand Canal and the beautiful Saint Mark’s Basilica will surely satisfy any traveller’s wanderlust.
When touring Venice with Expat Explore, you can bank on seeing the Rialto Bridge and a gondola ride need not stay in your dreams. But to truly explore Venice like locals, sip on an Aperol Spritz, hear romance blossom on the canals, feel the heat from glass being blown, soak up the softly-lit canal sights and smell the authentic Venetian cuisine!
