With its ancient city centre and its history spanning one thousand years, Venice is quite unique. Built on water, made up of island, bridges and canals, and closed to all car traffic, it is possibly the world’s greatest magnet to visitor. Ever since the body of St. Mark was smuggled out of Alexandria and entombed in the Basilica, the city has been host to a never-ending stream of admirers, famous, infamous, and otherwise. Venice has perpetually captured the imagination of poets and artist: among them, Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley addressed poems to the city. Much has been written about Venice, which has been used as a setting by many contemporary writers and directors.

 

Explore the city's great art and architecture. Venice would reward its guests with treasures even if they never go into a museum or a church. Take some time just to stroll and let yourself get lost in this gorgeous city.
