The City of Venice is just a few kilometers from Mestre and from one of its 3-star hotels: Hotel Delfino. With its central location, well served by public transportation, this is the ideal starting point to reach Venice and its islands.

Losing yourself in the streets of Venice is an experience unequalled anywhere in the world. It is a city entirely built on water, surrounded by a splendid lake. A tourist destination par excellence, it is the site of the well-known Piazza San Marco and the Basilica di San Marco with its five spectacular cupola, covered in scintillating golden mosaics. The bas-reliefs that decorate it – representing the months of the year – are surveyed from above the entry door by the four bronze horses, the Cavalli di Bronzo di Costantinopoli.

The Palazzo Ducale, former site of the Repubblica Serenissima, is a splendid 15th century palace, today the site of major art exhibits; inside one may visit the rooms Sala del Maggior Consiglio, Scala dei Giganti and the prison, reached by crossing the famous Bridge of Sighs. In front of the Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) is the bell tower Campanile di San Marco, an architectural symbol that made the city famous throughout the world. Approximately 100 meters high, today it is an obligatory stop for viewing Venice from a spectacular perspective.

La Basilica della Salute presenta un'ampia forma ottagonale e le meravigliose cupole dipinte dal Tiziano; l'Isola di San Giorgio, affacciata sul bacino di San Marco, si caratterizza per la sua chiesa frutto del genio del Palladio. Il Ponte di Rialto e il vicino mercato celebrano la Venezia più antica immersa nell'atmosfera surreale dei suoi campi e delle sue corti senza tempo.
