“There is no normal life in Venice. Here everything and everyone floats,” wrote Peggy Guggenheim, the art-collecting American heiress who made the city her home. There’s only one way to see it and, whether you choose to so by gondola, water taxi, or crowded vaporetto, cruising past the city’s labyrinth of canals, 15th-century palazzos, and churches with their crooked bell towers is an unforgettable experience. Back on terra firma, enjoy the symphony of competing café orchestras in magnificent Saint Mark’s Square—yours for an overpriced cup of coffee. <br /><br /><strong>Travel Tip:</strong> Transfers to Marco Polo Airport, located 7.5 miles from Venice by road and 6 miles by water, are available by taxi, bus, and water bus.
