Venice travel guides

Like any good travel guide to Venice, That’s Venice! takes you by the hand and leads you through the heart of the city. But unlike most guides, we walk slowly. We know Venice isn’t a place to “check off” in a day or two. It’s a place to absorb — one gondola, one spritz, one quiet corner at a time.

We want to show you the pleasure of simply watching the gondolas drift along the Grand Canal, of sitting at a small café in the historic center with a glass of Spritz in hand, enjoying the moment without any hurry.

We’d love to climb with you to the top of St. Mark’s Campanile, or up to the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, and pause to admire the breathtaking views. We’d like time to stop with you inside the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, so you can wander through the bold worlds of abstract and surrealist art without thinking about what comes next.

And we especially hope that families with children find something for every member — a corner of Venice, a story, a sculpture, a view — that they’ll carry home in their hearts.

This is what That’s Venice! is all about. Our guides aren’t written for tourists in a rush, but for people who want to experience Venice at a human pace — to walk, observe, feel, and enjoy.

That’s why, for every church, palace, museum, bridge, or canal, we’ve sought out a special detail, a hidden story, or a local curiosity. These aren’t just facts — they’re reasons to pause, to choose, and to savor.

We don’t run. We wander. We laugh. And we look up.
