Your trusted, one‑stop guide to Venice

Venice stands on its islands in the lagoon, cut through by the Grand Canal: San Marco and Castello, Cannaregio and its fondamente, San Polo and the Rialto, Dorsoduro and its museums, the Giudecca across the water, and out in the lagoon Murano, Burano, Torcello and the Lido. Here are the palace hotels and the 2026 MICHELIN stars, the cafés and the bacari, the Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, La Fenice and the Biennale, the boats that take you everywhere, and day trips to Verona, Padua, the Dolomites and the Prosecco hills. We’ve checked every listing against the venue’s own website or an official source, and we leave out anything we can’t confirm.

Venice and its lagoon: the back story

In depth

Venice and its lagoon

Venice·In depth

A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987: how the city and its islands came together on the water.

Read the story

Venice by sestiere and island

From San Marco to the Lido, each sestiere and island has its own guide: the piazza and the Fenice, Dorsoduro’s museums, the Rialto, Cannaregio’s canals, the Riva, the Giudecca and the lagoon.

Venice is a city for walking: keep to the right on the bridges, and let yourself get a little lost between the campi.

Plan your trip

The practical things to know before you go: the access fee, the boats, tickets for the big sights, and three days for a classic first visit.

Our advice

Check the access-fee days before you come

On set days, day visitors pay an access fee and overnight guests register for an exemption. The year’s days are on the City of Venice’s official page; never pay a third-party site. Venice essentials

Beyond Venice

Verona, Padua, the Dolomites and the Prosecco hills: Roman opera, Giotto, the pale mountains and the vineyards of Valdobbiadene, all within reach.
