Academy Gallery
The Academy Gallery or, as it is also called, the Academy Museum is perhaps one of the main attractions of Venice. Almost all tourists visiting this Italian city strive to get here.
The Grand Canal
Arriving in Venice, the first thing you will most likely see is the Grand Canal. This is the most famous Venetian canal that runs through the whole city. It starts near the train station and then in the shape of the letter S covers the whole of Venice.
The Doge’s Palace
For many centuries, the Palazzo Ducale (also known as the Doge’s Palace) served as the residence of the Venetian government, managed to visit the place for meetings of the councils of the Republic, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Ministry and even the haven of the secret police.
Ka’d’Oro
The famous Ka’d Palace’Oro is located in the Cannaregio quarter, on the main Venetian street — the Grand Canal. The lace building impresses tourists with its beauty. Ka’d’Oro is also called the Golden House. And, mind you, this name was not given to the palace by chance.
Florian Cafe in Venice
Cafe Florian is to Venice what the Closerie de Lila is to Paris. And even more, because Florian is generally called the first cafe in the country. The establishment on this site opened in 1640 and was called “Arab”, because it sold a drink that appeared in Venice from Turkey.
The Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs is the romantic name of one of the oldest bridges in Venice. It was built back in 1602 by architect Antonio Contino. Of course, the beautiful name of the attraction attracts many tourists. However, the Bridge of Sighs initially had nothing to do with the love theme.
Rialto Bridge
The Rialto Bridge can be safely called one of the symbols of Venice. Perhaps, it is on this bridge that the largest number of tourists gather. The fact is that this is the very first and oldest bridge over the Venetian Grand Canal.
Murano
No less interesting than the city center are its outlying areas. Of course, the Murano area is especially popular with tourists, where the world-famous Murano glass, sometimes called Venetian glass, is produced.
St. Mark’s Square
Famous primarily for pigeons, flood bridges and, what’s more, the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Square is the soul and heart of Venice. San Marco has taken its rightful place among its competitors due to the considerable number of historical buildings around the perimeter
Santa Maria della Salute
On November 21, a service is held in the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Salute in memory of getting rid of the plague. The people of Venice celebrate the Festa della Salute on this day. You can see the pontoon bridge, which is installed once a year from the Doge’s Palace to the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Salute.
