A day in Venice - Tour from Florence

Admire the timeless art and architecture of this gorgeous canal city


Overview
Known for its romantic waterways and winding canals, the city of Venice may be situated in some of the most unique scenery in the world. Spreading over 118 small islands, Venice harbors a thriving urban life as well as magnificent collections of artwork and exceptional architecture.

Step inside the adjacent Basilica of Saint Mark and be awed by over 8000 square meters of gold and bronze gilded mosaics, as well as dozens of works of art intricately depicting stories from the Holy Bible.
