Step into the history pages in Venice

A city which is a collection of islands connected by water ways, is listed on the World Heritage List and is absolutely gorgeous, Venice is where time stands still. While you may get flight tickets for cheap to this beautiful city, remember your destination is a wealthy one, having made its money in spice and silk. It is also significant in the growth of opera and symphony music. Not just music, Venice at one point of time in history, was considered the most refined city in Europe and influenced architecture and art. When it became the printing capital of the world, way back in 1482, the world of literature was introduced to Greek manuscripts for the first time.

Flights to Venice will get you to the ‘City of Water’ and it certainly lives up to that reputation. One of the things you need to experience is a gondola ride. Not just for the experience, but also as a necessity, as gondolas are essential when so much of the city cannot be reached by foot or by motor vehicle. At that point of time, you will need a ‘vaporetti’, or motorized waterbus, or a ‘traghetti’ to cross the Grand Canal when there is no access to bridges.

The city also hosts the International Architecture Exhibition each year and if you want to attend the event, do keep a lookout for low fares. Once in the city, look out for fine examples of architecture as you take in the sights. In fact, Venetian Gothic architecture is a fascinating study of fine detailing and the famous Doge’s Palace is a good example of the same. Get on Sun Country Airlines and enjoy the beauty of the city that is present in almost all aspects of life here. When you look at the elegant and vibrant Venetian glass, you will be reminded of this fact, anew.

You will surely enjoy the fine wines and cuisine on offer in ‘The Floating City’. If you are a foodie, you will have experiences like never before as you sample marinated eel, cookies, butter biscuits and shortbread, among other local delicacies. Your Sun Country Airlines flight reservations will leave you in the heart of good food land, so indulge all those taste buds!

Cheap flights to Venice sell like hot cakes around carnival time. The Carnival of Venice is a celebration of life and religion, spread over ten days and nights and characterized by fancy dress costumes and masks and there are prizes for both. Perhaps that is why this beautiful city is also called ‘The City of Masks’.

You may also enjoy one of the most important events in the arts calendar, the Venice Biennale, where countries and their art forms are represented. This is a great platform for contemporary artists and is a must visit if you adore the arts. The Venice Film Festival, a part of the Biennale, is the oldest film festival in the world and one of the most prestigious, especially with members of the industry so get your cheap tickets to Venice and have a thrilling time.
