The heart of romantic travel
Few countries hold as much romance for travellers as Italy. It boasts a beautiful, diverse landscape, legendary art, succulent cuisine and an epic history of painters, musicians and powerful politicians. Italy and all its distinct cities have something for everyone, from delicious wine and pasta to the world's most beloved galleries. Venice, with its story book canals and impressive arsenal of artistic masterpieces, is the perfect place for romantic travellers to fashion a holiday where surprises wait around every lyrical, market-studded corner.   

Trailblazing with Air Canada rouge
Air Canada rouge is a new leisure airline that unlocks favourite European and Caribbean gateways, making vacations more accessible and enjoyable with stylish cabins, smooth connections and increased baggage allowance. Be among the first to experience this new line, and enjoy your flight, accommodations and a walking tour all included. You'll spend seven nights plotting your Italian escapades at the typically Venetian-styled La Fenice et des Artistes Hotel, or a similar hotel in the centre of the city's charms.

Plenty of time to uncover Venice
A place of languid canals and bustling water-winged markets, Venice provides whimsical exploration to travellers intent on uncovering hidden piazzas and delicious treats. Enjoy cuttlefish, antipasto, or a thick slice of pizza and watch the reflections of Baroque churches that are cast alongside bountiful ships. Bohemian-chic street vendors sell glittering masks abreast the waters while the impressive St Mark's Square dominates the dry land of Venice. With nine days in this illustrious city through Air Canada rouge, you'll have plenty of time to explore all the sites before relaxing as the Venetians do - with a lazy Gondola ride down the city's famous canals.

First in line for the city's sites
Venice is like an open-air museum, and the crown jewel of its collection is the unrivaled St. Mark's Square. This architectural wonder is a hodgepodge of Byzantine, Greek, Gothic and Egyptian design, and with Skip the Line's St Mark's Square Highlights Tour you'll enjoy a comprehensive look at the beloved plaza and the basilica and palace that lie within. A walking tour lays bare the other gems of this city - also make sure to explore the Venetian masters of art at Gallerie dell'Accademia, savour a glass of red at La Favorita, or catch a performance by the heralded Venice Baroque Orchestra.
