  Ponte dei Sospiri

  Called the Bridge of Sighs by locals, this emblematic monument of Venice was built in the 1600s and connects the Doge's Palace with the historic prison on the other side of the canal. It was given this name because tradition has it that, at the time of the Serenissima, the prisoners, crossing it, sighed at the prospect of seeing the outside world for the last time.

  Isola di Murano

  Murano's reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their furnaces to Murano in 1291. Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass. Murano's glassmakers held a monopoly on high-quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining many technologies. Today, the artisans of Murano still employ these centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass jewellery to Murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers.
