Holidays in Venice

An introduction to Venice

City of canals and gondolas, masquerades and balls, palazzos, piazzas and pizzas. Holidays to Venice are like stepping out of reality and into a world of fantasy and frivolity.

You may feel like you already know what to expect from this iconic destination? Starring in Cornetto ads, Madonna's music videos and countless films, not to mention all the attention from literature, the Queen of the Adriatic is instantly recognisable.

Indeed the attractions tourists travel to Venice to see are familiar to us all…the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark' Square, the Bridge of Sighs, the Doge's Palace …the list is endless. But there's no substitute for being there, no matter how many times you watch Death in Venice, The Talented Mr Ripley or several of the James Bond films.

The magic of holidays in Venice is created by the over-the-top architecture, the ethereal, colourful Venetian glass and ubiquitous and fantastical masks. Plus having waterways instead of roads and the complete absence of vehicles lends a surreal and other-worldly atmosphere to the City of Water.

This former powerful city state and influential player on the world stage of commerce, art and music is now Europe's largest car-free zone and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So choosing to combine your holiday in Lido Di Jesolo is a great plan. Venice Twin Centres give you the flexibility to enjoy a beach break with a little Venice holiday.

It may prove hard to part from this utterly unique city. You're sure to leave a piece of your heart in the enchanting City of Light.
