A luxury weekend getaway on a private Jet travel to Venice is the perfect escape to unwind. Venice is romantic, historic, and gorgeous. It is small and compact, perfect to be explored in just a few days. The canals, the gondolas, the architecture, the colourful towns of Murano and Burano – what is not to love?
The main city of Venice is small enough that you can walk it for several hours. Explore the canals, sit and relax in the small squares that punctuate the city, go cafe-hopping for coffee or wine, and enjoy this city without feeling like you have to check many sites off your to-do list.
Take the Vaporetto (ferry) to the beach-filled Lido, the island of glass Murano, Torcello and Burano, where Venice began 1600 years ago. The hidden gems in Venice are as mysterious as the narrowing canals themselves. Amidst the city’s main attractions lie secret treasures waiting for the more adventurous traveller.
