40 Breathtaking Places That Have To Be On Everyone’s Bucket List

26. Venice, Italy

Who hasn’t dreamed of a trip to Venice? Traveling down the Grand Canal on a gondola during a lazy afternoon, sipping wine, and taking in the sights and smells has been portrayed in movies and media for decades. Nevertheless, while you’re there, be sure to take part in the Carnival of Venice by wearing your Venetian mask (via Wikipedia). There is also the oldest film festival in the world for film buffs. If music is more your thing, you’ll love the Teatro La Fenice or The Phoenix, a long-established Opera House that first opened in 1792. These are just a few things to do in Venice.
