🔑 Key Selling Points
St. Mark’s Basilica & Piazza San Marco
The heart of Venice and its most iconic square. Surrounded by cafés and dominated by the golden mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica, it’s the city’s stage where every visitor wants their photo taken.

Gondola Ride on the Grand Canal
Nothing captures Venice like drifting along the Grand Canal in a gondola, slipping under bridges and past Renaissance palaces. It’s the ultimate Venetian moment.

Doge’s Palace
Once the seat of Venice’s rulers, its opulent halls and the famous Bridge of Sighs bring the city’s history vividly to life.

Rialto Bridge & Market
The oldest crossing of the Grand Canal, buzzing with shops and energy. The nearby market has been at the centre of Venetian daily life for centuries.

Murano & Burano Islands
A classic excursion—Murano is famous for glassblowing, while Burano’s brightly painted houses and lacework make it one of the most colourful places in Italy.
