Why Venice
Venice, the floating city
Venice is one of the most iconic destinations in the world, renowned for its intricate network of canals, stunning architecture, and romantic charm. Built on a series of 118 small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, the city is connected by over 400 bridges and relies on canals for transportation, making it uniquely car-free. At the heart of Venice lies St. Mark's Square, home to the breathtaking St. Mark's Basilica and the towering Campanile.
The Grand Canal, Venice’s main waterway, is lined with historic palaces that reflect its rich maritime and trading history. Beyond its iconic canals, Venice shines as a cultural hub, hosting the vibrant Venetian Carnival, the Venice Biennale, and the Venice Film Festival. Despite challenges like rising sea levels, the city continues to attract millions of visitors with its timeless charm and artistic heritage.
