Venice on a budget
Far more affordable than a traditional gondola—and traveling the same scenic canals—is a ride via motorized Venice vaporetto. Think of it as public city bus on wheels, but with a far better view.
Located near the landmark and arched Rialto Bridge (which you’ll see pictured in countless photos of Venice), this busy daily market stands in the commercial center of the city alongside the city’s famed Grand Canal. Venetian locals and international tourists alike frequent this centuries-old market for fruit, fish, and vegetables.

Not for land-lubbers: this museum has filled its four floors with interesting maritime objects, including the banners that were flown by the Venetian fleet at Lepanto.
Popular since the 19th century, this Venetian beach on the upper Adriatic Sea is the site of the Biennale International Film Festival, the world’s oldest festival of cinematography. In addition to sun and sand, you’ll find hotels located on and near this 12-kilometer long beach.
