Venice is pleasantly lacking in the speeding cars and roaring Vespas of Rome and has a calming effect on all who visit. Here you can make your way through the city either on foot or by boat, enjoying a more relaxed pace of life.
Stunning architecture, gondolas and a palatable mix of East and West, this was once a land of inconceivable wealth and power. Today this rich history and cultural past are still very noticeable and there's plenty to keep visitors occupied for days or even weeks.
No matter how many times you have seen it in the movies, the real thing is more impressive than you ever imagined. Sunlight shimmers and silvery mist softens every perspective here, a city renowned in the Renaissance for its artists' rendering of colour. Its landmarks, the Basilica di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale are a delight. Venice is full of secrets, truly romantic, and at times, given over entirely to pleasure.
