Just by taking your first step outside the entrance to Santa Lucia Railway Station, the sight of the majestic green dome of the Church of San Simeon Piccolo will leave you breathless. And so it is Venice, a surprise, a wonder at every step, around every corner, whether it is the first or the thousandth time you visit it.

The magical atmosphere you breathe in this city, both in winter and in summer, is what makes every stay here unique. To visit and get to know every side of the city, one day is obviously never enough: Venice is a city that you have to savour in small bites. However, for a perfect day out in La Serenissima, there are some places that should not be missed on your itinerary. So pack a pair of comfortable shoes for this trip "up and down" the bridges of Venice.
