Venice traditions
Festivals, events, handicrafts and Venetian cuisine
Many visitors are more interested in Venice traditions than in monuments and museums. Although Venice is notoriously a treasure of art and history, it is easy to understand why so many people want to know more about Venetian traditions: Venice offers a wide choice of festivals, cultural events and handicrafts (Murano glass, Burano lace and much more).
Moreover, Venetian cuisine is a pleasant surprise that tourists will discover during their stay, between a visit to Saint Mark's square and a tour of minor islands. And finally, they could end their day in a bacaro, drinking spritz and eating cicchetti - an extremely popular tradition of Venice.
