Those colorful buildings you see on your feed aren’t in the heart of Venice. they’re on the nearby islands of Murano and Burano. Murano is famous for glassmaking. Meanwhile…� 2. Burano is known for lace-making and its iconic Bussola Cookies (a.k.a. Venetian butter cookies).� 3. Explore the secret rooms and corridors of Doge’s Palace, including areas not usually open to the public, like torture chambers and Casanova’s prison cell!� 4. Tour Venice by speedboat. It’s a thrilling way to cruise through the city and learn about its history.� 5. Try the iconic bitter spritzes: Aperol, Campari, and Select. They’re an acquired taste you’ll (likely) come to enjoy.� 6. Climb the Campanile Bell Tower on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore for stunning views of the city.� 7.
