4 days in Venice Itinerary

Virtually unchanged for the last six centuries, Venice is actually a group of islands made famous by a series of canals, bridges, monuments, piazzas, and narrow pedestrian lanes.

Get out of town with these interesting Venice side-trips: Padua (Padua Botanical Garden - World Heritage Site, Basilica of St. Anthony, &more) and Verona (Museo di Castelvecchio, Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, &more). There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at Doge's Palace, pause for some serene contemplation at Santa Maria dei Miracoli, admire the striking features of Basilica di San Marco, and take in the views from Ponte di Rialto.
