In our Venice Guide , we give you all of the information you need to enjoy your holiday on the Venetian Lagoon. On the first few pages, you will find directions to arrive and make your way around Venice: information on public transport (by both road and waterways), car parks, and average temperatures and weather forecasts according to the season. In a city like Venice, surrounded by the water of the lagoon and in the shape of a giant fish, there are two ways to get around: via the waterways (canals) or by walking through the pedestrian streets (alleys, squares, back streets and river banks etc.) A large amount of space is dedicated to Venice’s most famous festivals which attract thousands of visitors, such as the Venice Carnival, the Regata Storica and the Festa del Redentore. Later, it talks about the schools and buildings that once belonged to trade and religious associations, which are full of artistic treasures. The Venice Guide is divided into the various districts of the city. Venice is divided into the so-called “SESTIERI” (six districts), rather than quarters, for the very reason that are six of them: San Marco, Castello, Cannaregio, Santa Croce, San Polo and Dorsoduro. Each district is described in great detail so that you can move freely around the city choosing which sites to visit and admire. Following this clear description of the most important monuments in the whole city, the Guide to Venice provides you with several chapters on the main islands, Murano, Burano Torcello, as well as the smaller ones, San Francesco del Deserto, Sant’Erasmo, San Servolo; it also includes sections on other points of interest from Venetian cooking to local traditions. Every three months, we publish our Visit Venice Magazine where you’ll find in-depth articles and a wide-ranging outline of all the events taking place in the city.
