Holidays in Venice never disappoint. Venice is a city like no other. It is outrageously beautiful with streets full of water. Venice is one those places you still love even if the weather’s poor. It’s a relief just to spend a few days with no traffic. In winter the crowds of tourists thin to leave a magical stage set adorned with ornate churches, splendid palazzi and historic cafés where you must never look at the bill for fear of heart attack. You can’t do it all, but be sure to ride a vaporetto (waterbus) down the Grand Canal, visit the Galleria dell’Accademia and take a trip across the lagoon to Burano, Murano or Torcello. Hotels in Venice include some very romantic luxury hotels – if you haven’t got an anniversary or birthday to celebrate, invent something quick.
