In Venice, immerse yourself in Italian tradition at a fine art gallery or embrace the vivacious atmosphere of St. Mark's Square. Hundreds of arched marble bridges cross the city's canals and drivers piloting a zippy Venice rental car are rewarded with gorgeous canal views as slow-moving gondolas glide below.
