Venice is an archipelago of 183 islands situated 7 kilometres off the North East Adriatic Coast of Italy and joined to the mainland by a causeway. Although Venice enjoys a reputation as arguably the most beautiful city in the world it is surrounded by islands in a lagoon each of which is steeped in history and tradition well worth exploring as well as specialist trades which are close at hand. Murano is famous the world over for its glass whilst Burano has its lace-making and Lido provides a beach and golf club.
Despite these attractions most tourists to the area spend the majority of their precious time exploring the calles (or streets) of Venice looking for bargains and matters of interest. Venice is full of Museums and Churches which contain fabulous works of art. To find the best of these treasures, some inexpensive tourist guides are available in many languages. Sansovino is located central to these features whilst at the same time providing a quiet haven at the end of the day
