Visiting Venice: What to See and How to Get There from Hotel La Corte
Venice is a one-of-a-kind city, a floating labyrinth of art, history, and magic. Every corner offers emotions and views that look like they belong in a painting. By staying at Hotel La Corte in Correzzola, you can easily plan a day trip to Venice, discovering its iconic landmarks without giving up the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Why Visit it
Visiting Venice at least once in a lifetime is a dream shared by travelers from all over the world. Its historic center, entirely pedestrian, is a maze of alleys, small squares, and canals, accessible only on foot or by boat. For this reason, time in Venice flows differently—slower, deeper. It’s a city to experience, savor, photograph, and above all, feel.
What to See in Venice in One Day
If you only have one day to visit Venice, here’s a recommended itinerary that will let you explore the city’s top sights at your own pace.
St. Mark’s Square
The heart of the city, St. Mark’s Square, is the perfect place to start. Here you’ll find:
- St. Mark’s Basilica, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture with golden mosaics and grand domes.
- The Campanile, offering a stunning panoramic view over the lagoon.
- Doge’s Palace, the former residence of the Doge and a symbol of the power of the Venetian Republic.
The Bridge of Sighs
Behind the Doge’s Palace, you’ll find the famous Bridge of Sighs, which once connected the courts to the prison. A stop steeped in history and legend.
The Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge
The Grand Canal is Venice’s “main street,” lined with noble palaces and historic buildings. We recommend a ride on the vaporetto to admire the city from the water and get off at the Rialto Bridge, the most famous of all, where you can stroll through traditional markets and artisan shops.
The Islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello
If time allows, consider a detour to the most characteristic islands:
- Murano, world-famous for its glassblowing tradition.
- Burano, with colorful houses and fine lacework.
- Torcello, peaceful and spiritual, one of the oldest inhabited islands in the lagoon.
Events and Culture All Year Round
Venice is not only a place to visit, but also to experience during special events. Some of the most important include:
- The Venice Biennale, a prestigious contemporary art exhibition.
- The Carnival, with masks, balls, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
- The Historical Regatta and the Feast of the Redeemer, which blend tradition and spectacle.
