Venice is a romantic city located in the Northern region of Italy and built on more than 100 small islands. It is a unique city that has no roads, but canals instead. Venice has some great tourist attractions, but sometimes the best thing to do is just to get lost in this gorgeous city.
For those wanting to see some great architecture, walk by Venice’s best-known church of St. Mark’s Basilica or the city’s largest square of Piazza San Marco. For history lovers, visit Scuola Grande di San Rocco, a marble building that was built around 1515 to 1560.
If you want to explore some churches, there is the Gothic church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari or Santa Maria dei Miracoli. If you just want to relax and take in all of Venice, hop on a gondola or boat on the Grand Canal to see Rialto Bridge and other beautiful buildings from the water.
A European adventure can get quite expensive, but here we will go over three great hotels in Venice that could be perfect for any budget traveler.
