Sights of Venice

Many people call Venice a city-museum, a city-monument. And this is not surprising, because almost every building in the city is a landmark in a certain sense.

If you have little time and want to see more, a detailed map of Venice with sights will help you. Study it and make itineraries for 1, 3 or 5 days, for which you can see:

• Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace), the architecture of which intertwined several styles;

• Saint Mark's Cathedral on the square of the same name, which is considered the most elegant in Europe;

• famous Venetian bridges — Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs;

• Santa Sofia Palace (Ca d'Oro);

• Correr Museum and Accademia Gallery

A map of Venice with names of sights also includes the Naval History Museum, the Cathedral of Santa Maria dela Salute, and, of course, the Grand Canal (Canal Grande), which cuts through the city.

While in Venice, it is advisable to find time to visit the nearby islands of Torcello, Murano, and Burano, where there is also something to see and where you can take mind-blowing photos of the sights.

But all of this is not all of Venice. The description of the attractions of this romantic city includes a unique spectacle — the Venice Carnival. This celebration is held in February and March (before the Great Lent of Easter). Every year more than half a million tourists from all over the world come to see the theatrical performances, masquerades, concerts and fireworks that accompany the carnival.
