Venice

The Floating City of Canals & Romance

Best Time: Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov 3–5 Days Euro (€) Schengen Visa

Why Visit Venice?

Venice is unlike any other city on Earth — a miraculous labyrinth of canals, bridges, and palaces built on 118 small islands in a lagoon. For centuries the capital of a maritime empire, Venice dazzles with its Gothic and Byzantine architecture, world-class art, and an atmosphere of timeless romance. Glide through the Grand Canal on a gondola, lose yourself in the maze of calli (narrow streets), and discover hidden campi (squares) where locals still live their daily lives. Venice is a city that must be experienced slowly, on foot and by water, to truly reveal its magic.
