Venice

Venice radiates beauty, attracting visitors like moths to a flame. Alternating between the street cafés and diving indoors to explore the stunning palazzos, museums and galleries, you'll be overloaded by scenic wonders.

As if Venice's canalscapes aren't captivating enough, the charms of neighbouring islands Burano, Murano and Torcello should not be overlooked. All three can be visited in a day trip for an unbeatable blue lagoon experience.

The Basilica di San Marco, Piazza San Marco (041 522 5205) is an amazing 11th century Byzantine basilica surrounded by elegant 18th century coffee houses and a glass and marble mosaic pavement. Open Mon-Sat 9.45am-4pm, Sun 1pm-4pm.

The famous Rialto Bridge, Antonio da Ponte's stone arched bridge is a definite must-see, despite heaving with tourists.

For clear views over the Canal Grande and Piazza San Marco, visit the Santa Maria della Salute, Dorsoduro.
