Venice Holidays


europe
Venice holidays promise a journey into one of the most magical and romantic cities in the world.

Built across over 100 small islands and interwoven with a labyrinth of canals, Venice is a place like no other – where every bridge, piazza and palazzo tells a story. With its dreamlike atmosphere, elegant architecture and timeless charm, it’s easy to see why a holiday in Venice is at the top of so many Italy wish lists.

Exploring Venice is an experience in itself. Glide down the iconic Grand Canal on a gondola past dramatic Renaissance facades and Gothic palaces that rise directly out of the water. Stroll through the city’s winding alleyways, discovering hidden courtyards, vibrant markets and intimate trattorias where traditional Venetian cuisine is served with pride. No Venice holiday would be complete without pausing to take in the splendour of St Mark’s Square – the beating heart of Venice and a true symbol of Italian elegance.

Venice holidays also provide the perfect opportunity to explore beyond the city. Take a trip to the colourful island of Burano, famed for its rainbow-hued houses and lace-making traditions, or to Murano, renowned worldwide for its exquisite glassmaking. Whether you’re seeking romance, culture, or a unique family adventure, Venice offers endless ways to create unforgettable memories.

Trailfinders offers a range of Venice holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want a Venice city break or want to combine Venice with other parts of Italy – they are the perfect people to ask.

Venice Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Lily Swaffield -  expert
Lily Swaffield

Venice is one of the most visited cities in the world, and the main attractions can sometimes feel very crowded during the day. For a more authentic and peaceful experience, explore St Mark’s Square or wander along the canals early in the morning or later in the evening. The soft light at sunrise and sunset also makes the city even more magical!

Carrie Hawes -  expert
Carrie Hawes

While the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge are must-sees, some of the most memorable parts of Venice are tucked away in quieter neighbourhoods. Lose yourself in the charming streets of Cannaregio, stop for cicchetti (Venetian tapas) in a local bacaro, or take a vaporetto to Burano and Murano to discover colourful houses and world-famous craftmanship.
