A quiet, green escape from the crowds, Torcello is where Venice’s story began. Visit the Chiesa di Santa Fosca to admire stunning Byzantine mosaics, cross the legendary Ponte del Diavolo, and climb the Campanile di Santa Maria Assunta for breathtaking views of Burano and the lagoon. Stop by Locanda Cipriani, where Hemingway wrote Beyond the River and Under the Trees, or enjoy a meal at Taverna Tipica Veneziana.
