Venice: canals, history, culture
The canals of Venice are the city’s main attraction and create a truly unique atmosphere that stays with visitors long after their trip.
Among the most popular sights in Venice are St. Mark’s Square, St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. The historic Rialto Bridge, built over the narrowest point of the Grand Canal, is well worth a visit. The culture of Venice is defined by art and history. The city gained fame thanks to its canals, theatres, museums and galleries.
Venetian culture is also marked by traditional festivals, especially the Carnival. When it takes place, the streets fill with people in costumes, masked parades and elaborate carnival masks.
Gondolas make Venice famous worldwide and remain one of the city’s iconic means of transport. On the canals you will also see the vaporetto – water trams that connect different parts of the city.
Refined architecture of Venice: from St. Mark’s Square to Rialto Bridge
Venice is renowned for its remarkable architecture. One of the city’s most famous landmarks, St. Mark’s Basilica, is located by St. Mark’s Square. This imposing church has become a symbol of the city and impresses visitors with its mosaics and history.
Doge’s Palace
Doge’s Palace was once the residence of the rulers of the Venetian Republic. The splendid building, with its Gothic and Renaissance elements, is richly decorated with frescoes and impressive sculptures. Inside, you will find luxurious halls and eerie dungeons that still hold many secrets.
Rialto Bridge
Rialto Bridge is the oldest and most famous bridge in Venice and crosses the Grand Canal. It is a vital pedestrian route and offers spectacular views over the canal and the city.
San Giorgio Maggiore
The Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the oldest churches in Venice. Climbing its bell tower, decorated with mosaics and frescoes, you are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Venice and the lagoon.
Santa Maria della Salute
The Baroque church of Santa Maria della Salute, with its striking bell towers and columns, is another key architectural landmark of Venice. According to legend, it was built as a thanksgiving to divine forces for saving the city from the plague.
Other architectural “gems”
Other must-see landmarks include the Bridge of Sighs, La Fenice Theatre and the Scala Contarini del Bovolo.
The Jewish Ghetto, the panoramic terrace of T Fondaco dei Tedeschi, the Church of Madonna dell’Orto, the Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront and many other architectural “diamonds” can be discovered while wandering through Venice. These are just a few attractions – the city hides an architectural or historical masterpiece around almost every corner.
Venice throughout the year: from winter into spring and beyond
Harsh frost is rare in Venice, and frozen canals become a real sensation. In January and February, it often rains and the wind can be strong. Minimum temperatures usually fluctuate between +2 and +6 degrees.
At the beginning of March, humidity is still high, but towards the end of the month skies clear up more often. April is an ideal time: no strong wind, no heavy rain, no extreme heat – but plenty of flowers. In May, summer really arrives in Venice.
Summer is the season of heat and large crowds of tourists. From June the streets fill up, humidity is high, but temperatures are still a bit milder than in July or August.
Warm weather usually lasts until the middle of October. Nights then become cooler, while November brings strong rains and the risk of flooding.
Admiral.Travel recommends booking your Iași – Venice tour in mid-spring or mid-autumn. There are fewer tourists and the weather is comfortable for sightseeing and relaxing. Those who want to experience the famous Carnival, stroll calmly along the old streets, buy Venetian masks or paintings should plan their holiday for February and reserve their tour in advance.
