Venice City Break Guide 2025/2026
Venice is without a doubt one of the most stunning and romantic city break destinations in the world. With its beautiful architecture, wonderful food, impressive canals and of course, the world famous gondolas, a city break in Venice is perfect for couples, but also great for families and friends looking to explore a new city in 2025/2026.
Enjoy the likes of Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge or even head out to the Lido, a popular spot for locals to enjoy a relaxed seaside atmosphere. The best thing to do? Get yourself lost amongst all the back alleyways and canals and stumble upon a local restaurant serving authentic and delicious Italian cuisine. You'll end up finding some wonderful squares and views of this incredibly beautiful city too, perfect for the amateur photographer.
Be sure to book your flight and hotel in Venice together as this can attract some great discounts, especially if you are staying more than one or two nights. And, of course, keep an eye out for the latest deals. You never know when you might find a great offer which could also include breakfast or transfers.

Getting To, From & Around Venice
Venice is just a 2hr flight time from the UK with both scheduled and low-cost airlines like easyJet and Ryanair offering flights so there are usually plenty of options.
The main airport of Venice Marco Polo is actually located away from the city. The train is one of the more convenient ways of getting into the city, with Santa Lucia railway station being a significant landmark along the Grand Canal. However, we would thoroughly recommend a trip on the water bus into Venice which you can pick up from outside of the airport. It's a great way to start your city break by coming into the city by boat.
Ryanair also offers flights into Venice Treviso airport which is a bit further away but still easy to get to. The Terravision buses run from Treviso airport to Venice Tronchetto (near the city port) regularly and takes approximately 40 minutes. From Tronchetto, you can head into Venice by foot (although it's a bit of a walk), take a taxi, or jump into a water bus. Journeys from Venice Treviso airport to Tronchetto start from €11 per person each way.
The city is relatively small so walking is a great option, although it's easy to get lost. Perhaps not a bad thing in such a beautiful city, however, water taxi and bus is also a great way of getting from A to B with plenty of water taxi stops along the Grand Canal.
