The famous chess square of Marostica
If you’re holidaying in Venice in September then why not book a ticket to witness the unusual sight of a large scale chess game being played with costumed humans acting as the chess pieces!

This ancient tradition takes place on the second weekend of September on even numbered years and is located in Marostica, about an hour’s drive from Venice.

See the skilled game of chess literally come to life before your eyes!
Torcello Island
Visit the original island upon which Venice was founded called Torcello Island. Founded in 683, it was once home to around 20,000 inhabitants but as Venice expanded out to encompass neighbouring islands, many left it.

Today visitors can walk around some museums, churches and palaces still standing here but most of the inhabitants here are now sheep and rabbits!

Come to Venice on your next Italian vacation and experience all the unusual treats it has in store for you!
