Venice Travel Tips
See the City on Venice Canal and Gondola Tours
They say Venice is the great sinking city. While it certainly is true that the waters are rising, just when Venice will disappear all together we don’t know.
What you can be sure of, however, is that the sinking city claim is a great excuse to visit a destination on most people’s wish list. Perhaps the ultimate in tourist attractions, you can’t think of Venice without the beautiful, elegant sight of a gondola and its charm ridden gondolier popping into your mind. Don't go to Venice without taking advantage of this not to be missed attraction. Venice tourism has a long standing reputation for good taste, something you’ll witness on your Venice trip and especially on Venice canal and gondola tours.
The quiet small canals of Venice are beautiful to sail along, both relaxing and full of traditional Venetian charm. While the Grand Canal offers up breathtaking views of palaces and churches, brimming with elegance and history. Sit back and relax and let the gondolier do the work, have a glass of wine, take in the views and listen to the gondolier serenade you with traditional Venetian songs.
And if the city is sinking anyway, you have no excuse not to get in the water on Venice canal and gondola tours.

See All the Best in Venice Tours and Attractions by Walking the City.
One of the best ways to experience Venice tours and attractions is to take a walking tour of the city. Stroll through the intricate little streets and view the delicate bridges as well as the beautiful houses and buildings. Your walk will take you into St Mark’s square, to The Church of St. Mark and other popular tourist attractions like The Bridge of Sighs.
Off the usual tourist trail path, you can walk through the old streets of Venice where you’ll get a good idea of Venetian life -- past and present. You can, of course, find your own way around with a good map. But an organized tour with a guide will allow you to get much more out of the experience and will point out information and points of interest as you walk through the city.
Take a walking tour in the evening and discover the dark side of Venice when you’ll learn of crime and ghostly goings on amid the canals and little streets.
The Venetians are proud of their art heritage, particularly painting and you’ll see many examples of Venice art in the galleries and museums, such as The Accademia Galleries.
Restaurants in Venice offer a wide choice of world foods, but visitors should make sure they go native and eat Italian as much as possible. It’s well worth it. Check through a Venice travel guide before you arrive and make the most of the gastronomic side of your Venice trip.
