Long before you climb into your Venice airport water taxi you will undoubtedly be aware that Venice has many famous sights to share with you. You may be familiar with such sights as St Mark's Square, but there are many others to enjoy as well. Some of the highlights are noted below.
The Grand Canal
You may get your first glimpse of the Grand Canal as you make your way up it in a Venice airport water taxi. But make sure you go back for another look when you have settled into your accommodation. The entire canal is around two and a third miles in length and you can hop in a vaporetto or a famous gondola to enjoy seeing the city from the water. You may see people already enjoying the gondolas with their familiar gondoliers navigating them as you make your way into the city courtesy of a Venice airport water taxi.
The Rialto Bridge
While you are exploring all that the Grand Canal has to offer, you will have the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at the Rialto Bridge. There has been a bridge in this spot for more than eight hundred years, although the bridge you see today was created in the late 1580s. You can travel underneath it on a boat and also walk over it - and it is worth seeing it from both angles. The bridge has shops you can browse in as well, since it has long been a much loved market for the locals and tourists.
St Mark's Campanile
You have heard of St Mark's Square, but St Mark's Campanile is another famous sight the city has to offer. Otherwise known as the Campanile di San Marco in Italian, this is a grand clock tower that can be seen from many parts of the city. There has long been a tower here, and while this one is not the original it does still date back to 900. As you might imagine, a clock tower that has stood for over a thousand years has not been without damage during that time. Significant damage occurred back in the early 1500s, when an earthquake threatened to fell it completely. Restoration brought it back to life and it stood tall until the early 1900s when it collapsed once again. Although it needed to be completely rebuilt this time, it was done so it would look identical to the previous tower. You can go to the top of the tower to look out over St Mark's Square - it's an amazing view to behold.
This beautiful and renowned city is certainly packed with attractions and sights that are well worth seeing. It is wise to remember that the city has a lot of history too, as you can see from the above sights alone. When you first approach in your Venice airport water taxi you will immediately start to uncover some of the secrets this amazing city has to share. Which famous location will you visit first?
