Venice is replete with activities beyond water transfers. Visitors are encouraged to explore the historic St. Mark’s Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs. Art aficionados may appreciate the treasures housed within the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Accademia Gallery. Murano and Burano islands provide unique glassmaking and lacework demonstrations. Lastly, no visit is complete without experiencing an authentic gondola ride.
