The Floating City is home to many bridges and just as many mythologies. Venice vacations wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the Palazzo Ducale with a historic prison. Legend has it, criminals taken into custody would turn around for a last glimpse at freedom before being incarcerated, giving the bridge its melancholy name. To acquaint yourself with the city’s saintlier history, visit San Giacomo di Rialto Church, the oldest church in this scenic city, built in the 5th Century and rife with history.
If you desire a bit of shopping, don't skip the Rialto Markets. This plethora of shops provides you with ample options, whether you are searching for sparkling Murano glass, fine art, or an extravagant Venetian mask for your next fabulous event.
Speaking of events…like Mardi Gras, Carnevale is a seven-day event held each year in February. Locals and visitors to Venice dress up in elaborate costumes and masks while attending parties, strolling through the streets, or relaxing on a gondola ride through the city's famous canals.
