Venice grew from a cluster of lagoon islands into the Republic of Venice, a maritime power that traded between Europe and the East for roughly a thousand years. Its merchants and doges built the palaces, churches and bridges that still line the canals. With no roads between its islands, the city remains a place of footpaths, water buses and gondolas.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
