From there, you can also take a short bus or boat trip to explore the world-famous lagoon city of Venice. Venice is also known as the “city of a thousand bridges”, as it was once built on countless wooden piles. One of the most famous waterways is the Grand Canal, with its world-famous gondolas. The famous Rialto Bridge, better known as the Bridge of Sighs, also crosses this canal. The other sights are within easy walking distance. An absolute must for all tourists is the popular St. Mark’s Square, which is also home to the symbol of the city, the so-called St. Mark’s Tower.
Our insider tip:
The tranquil town of Lazise is located on the south-eastern shore of Lake Garda and is known for its car-free medieval old town. This part of the city is in turn surrounded by a well-preserved city wall. Enjoy the specialties of Italy in one of the cosy restaurants or cafés in the side streets and marvel at the unique lake promenade of Lake Garda.
