Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on May 1, 2023.

Built on a hundred islands with wealth from trade, Venice is laced with exotic-looking palaces and sun-speckled canals that transport travelers from ordinary life. Elena Zampiron, born and bred in this city of water and bridges, shares the wonders of her hometown with us. Marvel at St. Mark's Basilica, which houses the relics of St. Mark along with glittering mosaics and fine art, learn more about the Venice's golden age at the Doge's Palace, experience the riveting festival of Carnivale, and glide through quiet canals on a gondola. Don a mask and grab a spritz for an exciting visit to the Venetian lagoon! #RickSteves #MondayNightTravel
