The Venice Lagoon has more than 80 islands to explore, so there is always plenty to see and do. See glass-blowers in action on the historic island of Murano, watch the lacemakers on Burano and visit the imposing cathedral on Torcello. The rivers and canals around the lagoon offer something different again. The spring water River Sile winds its way through the countryside past attractive villages all the way to charming Treviso, an amazing city full of Italian art, museums and restaurants. Follow the River Brenta to Padova alongside elegant summer houses and villas belonging to the Italian nobility.

Or why not explore the Po Delta – this vast nature reserve close to our base at Porto Levante is a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of Venice. Suave Italian beach resorts line the coast and offer a chance to soak up the sunshine in style.
