Ah, Venice. The sheer sound of this city's name evokes visions of romanticism, beauty and decadently charming flavours. Narrow lanes and a web of canals contribute to the appeal of this outstanding city on the water that consists of over a hundred islands. Elegant Piazzas, otherworldly hotels and restaurants will entice you with rich aromas, delectable tastes and exquisite surroundings.
The cluster of islands that make up Venice are set on the north end of the Adriatic Sea, and while initially conceived to be of great use defensively and economically, the ever increasing wealth of the city grew and its place on the world tourism stage was born.
Hotels offers luxurious suites full of romance and elegance while restaurants offer an array of sumptuous feasts. Try various fresh fish from the lagoon, or savor pasta topped with scallops. Homemade black noodles, clams or lobster might tempt you, or you may try sea bass and spider crab. Seafood lovers, rejoice. Flavorful, original and always memorable, you'll find seafood in virtually every eatery.
Interconnected by a maze of charming bridges, the city begs for a stroll through its history and rich culture. The enchanting vision of gondolas gracefully passing underfoot is only bested by an hour spent seeing Venice from the vantage point of the water on board one of these ornate water crafts.
The Byzantine Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta will draw you to Torcello, while St. Marc's Campanile will tempt you to find your way to Piazza San Marco. And the unforgettable Santa Maria della Salute is a vision when viewed from the Grand Canal.
