What Should You Do During Your Trip To Venice?

Do you have a trip to Italy coming up? If so, you might be swinging by Venice. Of course, Venice is known for its beautiful water canals, delicious food, and amazing tourist attractions. Even though you should certainly sign up for one of the famous boat tours, there are several important sites you should not overlook. What are some of the hallmarks of Venice you should see on your next trip?

St. Mark’s Basilica

Without a doubt, this is the most popular attraction in Venice. It is the most famous building in the city, and it has served as an architectural inspiration for countless other buildings all over the world. It has stood since 1092 and is one of the most important locations in Northern Italy to the state. Pay attention to the artwork, amazing sculptures, and unparalleled attention to detail. It contains numerous paintings from the Byzantine period, and it should not be missed during your trip.

The Canale Grande

Of course, the amazing city is lined with canals, but you should not miss the opportunity to head down the Canale Grande itself. Even though it is called a canal, it is much more like a river. It connects one side of the city to the other, and it has a large S shape to it, ensuring you can stop at multiple locations along the way. As you take a trip down the canal, make sure you pay attention to the amazing buildings that line it.

Venice Lido

When you have had your fill of the popular tourist attractions, swing by the Lido. This is a separate island, and it creates a barrier between the Adriatic Sea and Venice. This is a beautiful beach that is inhabited by approximately 20,000 people. There are plenty of locations for you to get away from the crowd, kick back, and relax. Then, you can swing by some of the shops and restaurants to grab a bite to eat!

Get Ready for Your Trip To Venice

These are a few of the most important sites you should see during your next trip to Venice. This is one of the most popular locations in all of Italy, and there is always something fun to do. Do not pass up on the opportunity to try some delicious Italian food as well! It is like nothing you have ever eaten before.

Italy is the 4th most Visited Country in the World

lamore italian restaurant venice canalsDid you know that Italy is ranked fourth when it comes to the most visited countries in the world? It’s true! While there are several factors that likely attribute to this, one of the biggest factors is the food. After all, who doesn’t love authentic Italian cuisine?

However, there are also quite a few amazing sights that can only be seen in Italy. Keep reading to learn more about the Italian food and sights you are sure to encounter when visiting the amazing country.

The Food

Of all the different global cuisines, there is nothing that’s able to compare with the experience and taste of eating authentic, Italian home cooking. This food is a product of thousands of years of culinary innovation and wisdom and consists of recipes that have been handled down generation after generation.

However, something to note about Italian food is that authentic cuisine isn’t the Americanized version served in the United States today. Italian food is fresh, full of flavor and natural ingredients. This is why so many people travel to Italy just to experience the cuisine.

The Sights

There’s no question that the food in Italy is amazing; however, there are also amazing sights to see and experience on your trip to Italy. Some of tourist spots that are most highly rated by tourists include the following:

  • The Colosseum: This massive amphitheater is the biggest of its kind that was ever constructed during the Roman rule and it has a wooden floor that measured 83 by 48 meters. Beneath it is two levels of passages, cells, rooms and tunnels.
  • The Venice Canals: When you think of travel in Italy, chances are you imagine the gondola rides through the Venice canals. This is a mode of travel that has been used for centuries and something tourists enjoy.
  • The Leaning Tower of Pisa: This tower is well-known across the globe and one of the biggest attractions for tourists in Italy.
  • Lake Como: This is considered one of the most scenic areas in Italy and the lake is fully surrounded by mountains and small towns.
  • Cinque Terre: A coastal region that’s distinctive due to the sheer cliffs and steep hills, this area overlooks the Mediterranean. There are 5 beautiful villages, including Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Mare that are available via walking paths and railroad tunnels.

If you are planning a trip to Italy, as you can see, there are more than a few things to experience. Be sure to keep the information here in mind as you travel your through this beautiful (and pretty tasty) country.
