Destination Profile
Venice is sheer majesty from start to finish. A whole city straddling a lagoon on the Adriatic Sea? It's almost too hard to believe! But that's precisely what it is, rising in grand marble facades, majestic church domes, and pastel-painted palazzos straight from the water. They call it the city of canals, but it could just as easily be the city of bridges, of hidden piazzas, of romance, and taste-bud-tingling wines! You'll while away vacations watching glass blowers in Murano, snapping shots of filigreed St Mark's Basilica, learning about Venetian dukes, and people watching on vibrant squares. Cheap flights to Venice from USA jet straight over the Atlantic Ocean to northern Italy. Nonstop connections leave big airports like JFK and Chicago, but you're likely to get the best deals on routes with layovers.
St. Mark's Square has some of Venice's greatest wonders, from the Basilica of St Mark to the Doge's Palace.
The oldest of the four main bridges on the Grand Canal is the Rialto Bridge, with a history going all the way back to 1181!
Venice's glass-blowing district is down in Murano, where you'll find artisan workshops ringed by quiet piazzas and canals.
