Location
About the surrounding area of Apartment GiglioApartment Giglio is perfectly positioned on the Grand Canal, in the heart of Venice, with views of the Accademia, Peggy Guggenheim’s Palazzo, and the iconic azure blue lagoon. The property has a nearby water taxi boat jetty, perfect for picking you up for a day’s sightseeing and dropping you off after an evening out. The international Marco Polo airport is a thirty-minute private water taxi journey away or seventy-five minutes by the public vaporetto.
The apartment is ideally located within walking distance of most of the major sights of Venice. One of the joys of a holiday here is walking over many of the four hundred bridges and some of one hundred and eighteen canals, as the architecture reveals the city’s colourful history. Take a trip down the Grand Canal to the impressive St Mark’s Square and the eleventh-century Basilica, where mass is still held today. Visit the Byzantine Doge’s Palace, climb the clocktower, and cross the Bridge of Sighs. On the other side of the square is the Correr Museum, highlighting the history of Venice in its royal rooms and library. Take time out to stroll around the square, and window shop in the jewellery stores, before sitting down for tea in Florian’s whilst the orchestra plays your favourite tunes. Cross the nearby bridge to the Napoleonic Accademia Gallery to view classical Venetian art and the seventeenth-century Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, with its iconic cupola and twelve paintings by Titian.
Make time to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, a homage to twentieth-century modern art housed in her original palazzo home. Take a three-island tour to see the glassblowers at work on Murano, the colourful houses and lacemakers on Burano, and the seventh-century cathedral on Torcello, with its Byzantine art. Cross the sea to the Lido, famous for its grand hotels and long sandy beaches, and for those who like to chance their luck, there’s a casino too. Venice is a food lovers paradise. Sample the local dish of Baccala Mantecato, a salted cod dish best served with a glass of chilled white wine.
A walk to St Mark’s Square will take you through back streets selling the very best quality hand-crafted leather goods, silk scarves, and cashmere sweaters, not to mention the designer dress shops with brand labels you’ll want to buy. For the romantics, get into a gondola and cruise the canals, or simply take one to cross the water from one side to the other. In the evening, enjoy a stroll to Harry’s Bar for a Bellini before a night at the opera at the Fenice Theatre, then dine in a local restaurant, serving traditional Venetian dishes overlooking the Grand Canal under a Tiepolo blue sky. If you are lucky enough to be there during the Carnival, make sure you wear a mysterious mask and join in the fun and frolics of this fabulous festival.

Cross the Bridge of Sighs and explore the dark dungeons where the Dukes had their prisons. Play a game of Hunt the Winged Lion, the symbol of the city, and to be found on buildings all over Venice.
Go for a gondola ride, and get off at Zattere, where they can enjoy an ice cream at the famous Gelateria Nico. Take a picnic at the Giardini Pubblica, where there is a children’s playground and a grotto. Shop for masks for carnival time, or your kids can make their own at Ca’ Macaria.
