DOGES PALACE

A Venetian Gothic-style palace built in the 1300s and the residence of the Doge of Venice. A Doge is an elected person, lord and head of state over many Italian cities. There have been 120 Doges of Venice. The palace is well worth a visit.

BRIDGE OF SIGHS

A landmark for tourists. This white bridge made from limestone is accessible from Doge’s palace and takes you from the interrogation rooms into the old and new prison next door.

PICTURE PERFECT CANALS

Venice has an incredible 150 canals and 26 miles of waterways, each with its own unique characteristic. You can simply wander, get lost and admire them from the streets and bridges, or take a gondola ride and enjoy the view from the water.
