Glass-Blowing Demonstration - Murano Island - Website

Glassmaking is an ancient tradition and art in the Veneto, and particularly on the islands of Murano. Glassblowers had to move their workshops off of Venice itself in 1291 due to fears the heat generated would burn the city down. Murano, a short boat ride away, is now home to some of the most beautiful glass art in the world.

Go To The Rialto Market - Website

The Rialto is famous for its fresh fish, caught that morning in the lagoon. Be sure to get there early to find the best buys! You will also find fruit and vegetable stalls, and, in the surrounding streets, butchers' shops selling pheasants, quail, venison and wild boar. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to 1pm.

Piazza San Marco - Website

Piazza San Marco is Venice's most famous piazza. What appears to be a rectangle is actually a trapezium, and when you look up at the basilica, the piazza seems enormous, although it is only 175 meters long. On both sides of the piazza are the Procuratie, which housed the procurators of San Marco. The centerpiece of the piazza is the Basilica di San Marco The oldest of these (probably built by Codussi) are on your left when you face the basilica; Longhena built the ones on the right later, in 1640. The most recent buildings, commissioned by Napoleon in 1810, lie behind.
