When it comes to a holiday in Italy, nothing can compare to spending a week in the awe inspiring Venice. With the entire city of 117 man made islands sitting atop of stilts forested from what is now Krav, Slovenia, just being in Venice makes you want to fall in love all over again. You can spend the time walking the narrow streets or taking a gondola ride around Venice. Each of the 117 works of art and masterpieces in architecture are connected by a series of small foot bridges.

While in Venice on a holiday though, you will want to check out many of the historic places in the city like the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Gallerie dell'Accademia, PalaFenice ,the Peggy Guggenheim Collection as well s the many natural island found throughout the lagoon which Venice floats on top of.

Of all the times to visit Venice however, the best time has got to be at the end of January because at this time of year it is Carnival season where you can enjoy the Carnival by being a part of the celebrations. The reason for this is that when the Carnival starts, the entire city of Venice becomes one big stage for dances, concerts, pageants and a lot more.

There is just so much to see and do in Venice that there is never enough time for and that is why it is often suggested that you take a look at the many packaged holiday deals which include lodging as well as airfare to and from the UK.
