About Venice
Venice itself is a living museum, but its position on the lagoon makes it an ideal base for reaching some of northern Italy's most significant historic and cultural sites in a single day. You can cross the lagoon to the Byzantine mosaics of Torcello on the Gems of the Lagoon: Torcello, Burano & Murano with a Real Local Guide, or head for the mountains on the Dolomites, Cortina and Lake Braies Day Trip from Venice, which pairs dramatic alpine scenery with the layered history of the Veneto's northern edge.

Frequently asked questions
These trips go beyond a standard city walk: they connect Venice to the wider Veneto and Emilia-Romagna, from Byzantine mosaics on Torcello to Roman and early Christian Ravenna and the private gardens of Padua. Guides are local and the itineraries focus on art, architecture and context rather than shopping stops.
