Venice Hotels

This is the travel page for Venice Hotels. Consisting of over 300 islands, 150 canals and over 400 bridges, Venice is known as the City of Bridges or the City of Water. Famous for festivals such as the Carnival of Venice and the Venice Film Festival, main attractions such as Mark's Basilica church and Piazza San Marco are very popular with tourists. And taking a gondola ride in Venice is considered to be one of the most romantic things to do while there--an absolute must, if you have the 80 euro to spare. While planning your trip, please see our Venice Vacation, Venice Restaurants and Venice Tours.
