Capital of the Veneto, the world-famous city of Venice emerges from the water like an impossible miracle. This romantic city is situated four kilometres from the mainland, on 115 islands of the Venetian Lagoon - criss-crossed by more than 150 canals and 400 bridges.
Canals and carnival. These are the popular images of the Italian city that dreamers have long described as the most romantic and mysterious on earth.
The Grand Canal, with its bobbing boatmen, winds around the largest of the squares, Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square). This is the traditional postcard scene of Venice, with its famous cafes, its Byzantine basilica and its legion of hungry pigeons.
