Venice

Venice The Floating City

Likely founded by Roman refugees, the island city of Venice has developed into one of the most iconic cities in the world. The narrow streets, romantic canals, and impressive historical buildings all add to its grandeur. The heart of Venice is the Piazza San Marco, which is surrounded by impressive buildings and dominated by the imposing bell tower and Saint Mark’s Basilica. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy Venice’s scenery, as well as the many cafes, shops, and live music. As the gondola is the symbol of the city, it’s an absolute must to float down the canals and experience the beauty of Venice by boat! You’ll pass by many churches and palaces, lively squares, museums, and shops along the way. Take some time to explore this one-of-a-kind city; even the smallest building can contain works by some of the history's most renowned artists including Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese.
