Easter in Venice is a religious holiday with a movable spring date, marked by Holy Week worship at St Mark’s Basilica, Sunday meals and outdoor outings on Easter Monday. You can join the services as a worshipper, make lunch the centre of the holiday, or combine sightseeing with time beside the lagoon. Choose the observances […]
Christmas in Venice brings December worship at St Mark’s Basilica, Santa-costumed rowers on the Grand Canal and seasonal skating in Campo San Polo. It suits you if you want public celebrations and time for Christmas services, rather than a stay built entirely around sightseeing. The festive season extends beyond the holiday itself, but Christmas Eve, […]
Choose by what your family wants to spend the day doing, then by how much travelling you can accept. Aquaestate in Noale has the shortest outward journey for a pool-and-slide day, while Caribe Bay in Jesolo and Aquafollie in Caorle are coastal water-park choices. Gardaland and Movieland take you towards Lake Garda for rollercoasters, themed […]
A view-facing table in Venice can put you beside a neighbourhood canal, at the water’s edge on the Grand Canal or above the lagoon. Choose the occasion before the outlook: Gio’s suits a Grand Canal dinner, while Skyline Rooftop Bar offers a panorama over a drink rather than a full meal. Gam Gam combines kosher […]
A romantic dinner in Venice can mean a table beneath canal-side arches, a historic trattoria room or a terrace overlooking the lagoon. Choose the setting you want to spend an evening in, not just the view you want to photograph. Osteria Al Cantinon brings you close to the water in Cannaregio; Antiche Carampane makes the […]
A sit-down meal in Cannaregio can mean fixed-menu cooking at Trattoria Da’ a Marisa, spider-crab pasta at Vini da Gigio or a table on Campo dei Mori at Osteria l’Orto dei Mori. Choose by the meal you want and the part of the district you will be in, rather than by a canal view alone. […]
Venice Jazz Club, San Vidal and La Fenice offer three distinct ways to spend an evening listening to live music in Venice. Choose the jazz room for standards and reworked modern tunes, the concert church for Vivaldi and other Baroque music, or the opera house for a staged production or symphonic concert. These are seated […]
Venice has gluten-free choices for a seated lunch or dinner, from Vecia Cavana’s fish-led menu to pizza at Oke Zattere. Frary’s adds Greek and Middle Eastern cooking, while Al Gazzettino offers gnocchi and dessert to discuss with staff. A gluten-free menu and a meal suitable for coeliac disease are not the same promise: ingredients and […]
Choose September for a Venice sightseeing trip, or May if you prefer a longer outdoor day. Both offer a better balance for extended walks than midsummer, but neither makes the Rialto Bridge or St Mark’s Square quiet. Ordinary winter weeks outside Carnival suit travellers who put fewer crowds and lower room-cost pressure ahead of warmth […]
You can eat a complete vegan meal in Venice, whether you want ravioli from a fully vegan kitchen, a vegetable pizza with plant-based cheese or a sit-down dinner with several courses. La Tecia Vegana is the dedicated vegan choice, while the other restaurants below offer plant-based dishes or vegetarian selections within broader menus. Choose around […]
