As you stroll over the marble floors past the large pillars towards the Grand Canal of Venice, you just might be greeted by a tall slow-moving tree. Its limbs and branches slowly moving along the halls, sometimes seeming to cling to walls, other times moving swiftly across and down the walkways, weaving a visual trail of greenery in its wake.
Grand Canal Shops
As you approach the Canals of Venice, you will encounter incredible shopping opportunities on both sides of the canal. The Grand Canal Shops offer the shopper everything from Anne Taylor clothing to Wyland art. This is a shopping mecca where one can spend hours enjoying the delights that each store has to offer.

Venice Canals
Then comes an incredible experience – To ride the Gondolas of the Venice Canals. You and your loved one can be conveyed the length of the Grand Canal by the seasoned and talented Gondoliers, and be entertained with their Italian love songs. The singing boatmen are a special group, each having a full repertoire of songs, and each being able to deliver right on cue and key. Enjoy this special moment. It will be one that will not soon be forgotten.
St.Mark’s Square
From the Grand Canal, it is on to St.Mark’s Square. Here the famous Piazza San Marco, St. Mark’s Square, is replicated replete with St. Marks’s Basilica, and the famous Clock Tower.
