VENICE Although there are days when tourists outnumber locals by two to one, Venice never loses its capacity to enchant. Summer brings some of the most daunting crowds, but there's a reason why they come: the sheer loveliness of an exquisite city that seems miraculously built on water. It's important to remember that, even at peak visitor times, you are never more than a bridge and an alley away from a more secluded city, full of secret campi (squares), handsome Gothic palazzi and lively neighbourhood wine bars. In any season, Venice's churches and museums offer antique glories aplenty, but there is also a vibrant contemporary art scene, even away from the Art Biennale. A weekend break in Venice will no doubt deliver culture and history in spades. The Floating City is tightly packed with museums and galleries, spanning everything from ancient palaces and iconic century-old collections of art to more contemporary exhibits. You'll also want to listen to the city's classical music in an appropriate setting, such as in a deconsecrated church or at its iconic opera house La Fenice.   Starting from 320 euro per person Included:
