Itinerary
- Day 1
Venice
You'll arrive and get transferred by boat to your hotel in Venice. Once you're settled in, the day is open for you to walk around at your own pace. The winding streets lead you past the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs, and Doge's Palace. Since everything here is connected by canals rather than roads, walking is really the only way to navigate the city anyway.

Murano's known for glassblowing, Burano for its colorful houses and lace-making traditions, and Torcello for quieter, older charm.
