So if you are looking for things to do in Venice in July or August, that'll
maximise your enjoyment while saving you from hot and frustrating hours in long lines, then read on...
When you arrive in St Mark's Square on a summer's morning and the crowds are like those in the video then, should you want to see the main attractions, you know that most of your day will be spent standing in line.
It takes in all the most fabulous spots of the city in a
tour that combines a boat trip and a walking tour. You'll get to see
all of the major attractions I include in my “six essential sites
of Venice” list and a number of the less well known ones too.
Of
the most important the tour includes: San Marco Square, the Rialto
Bridge, the Doges Palace, a boat ride down the Grand Canal and
St.Mark's Basilica's, where you'll simply enter without paying
(entrance is included in the tour price) and without having to spend
literally hours in a long line.
On a hot sweltering day what could be
better than taking to the water and heading out to Murano & Burano.
In Murano you'll watch the glass-blowers creating their magic - truly unforgettable! Of course
there are the stores where you can buy the finished product too.
Once
you have enjoyed Murano then it is to picturesque Burano you'll go.
Here
the colorful fishermen's cottages seem to sparkle in the bright July
sunshine reflected off the canals. Burano is famous for lace and
the lace museum is a must. You'll also have the chance to buy
some of this superb lace too.
When the heat and humidity gets to be
too much follow the example of Venetians from centuries past. Head
up to the cooler and cleaner air of the Veneto's mountain towns.
This day trip takes in some fabulous places including
Asolo (read more here), which is considered one of Italy's loveliest villages, and
Bassano del Grappa. The wooden bridge in Bassano del Grappa is
absolutely amazing, in fact everything about Bassano del Grappa is to
love.
I nearly forgot...what would a Veneto trip be without a visit
to a Palladian villa? Lacking that's for sure and the good news is that this
tour includes such a visit to one of the Veneto's loveliest.
