Travel to Venice with children, guide for the whole family

Venice is a unique place in the world. And it deserves to be visited, at least once in a lifetime. Indisoloubly linked to the image of its canals, Venice is considered one of the most romantic cities in the world, but without detracting from the charm of a trip as a couple, it is also a great destin

The city of Venice is spread over 119 islands located in a wide lagoon located between the mainland and the sea. In much of Venice, there are no streets, but canals that are traveled by vaporettos, water taxis or gondolas.

Water, the protagonist in Venice, is also the culprit of one of the most curious effects of this place: the Acqua Alta, which floods a large part of the city very frequently, a hundred times a year.

St. Mark's Square is the lowest point of Venice and, therefore, the first to be flooded when the tide rises. But the Acqua Alta is so frequent that the city and its residents are more than prepared. In San Marcos, for example, walkways are installed so that people can walk on the square without getting into the water.

If you have time, in addition to the island of Venice, it is worth visiting the nearby Murano, known worldwide for its crystal of great quality. It is very interesting to see how the artisans work the glass by heating it and giving it unlikely forms.

The colorful houses of Burano and the charm of Lido, where the Venice International Film Festival is held, also have great appeal.
