RIVER CRUISING
6 DAYS
Autumnal Venice
The Culture & Style of Venice The autumn months are ideal to visit the incredible city of Venice and the islands dotted around the lagoon when the light becomes softer and the area is much quieter. With no crowds, it’s the best time to take in its rich heritage, historical monuments and lagoon islands. From the picturesque alleyways of Venice, we head out to the islands of the lagoon: to Mazzorbo with its vines and quiet lakeside paths, to the colorful Burano, where bright colors are reflected in the water. In Chioggia, the little Venice on the southern edge of the lagoon, you can expect maritime flair and the real life of the locals - charming, down-to-earth and characterized by genuine Italian joie de vivre.
