Capital of the Veneto region, it is impossible not to fall under the magical spell of Venice. The city has a fairytale charm that attracts travelers from every corner of the globe. Almost 10 million tourists visit the city every year.
It is like a large puzzle of islands in the Venice Lagoon, with 177 canals, 400 bridges spread across 118 islands and many glittering churches, decorated with gold, mosaics and frescoes of inestimable value. What luxury!
Who doesn’t dream of walking among its historic buildings, canals and mask shops? And how can you resist the temptation of a gondola ride with your loved one, and maybe even immortalize the moment with a professional photographer?
These tours last about 30 minutes and allow you to observe the city from a different and romantic angle.

Venice has become famous all over the world for its canals full of gondolas and for the floods that, from time to time, transform streets and squares into improvised swimming pools, and the inhabitants of the city have had to do their best over the centuries to face this aquatic challenge in a super creative way.
The Bridge of Sighs or the Rialto Bridge, which is located near the Venice market, are two unmissable places for a photo or just to admire the beauty of this city!
There is a canal that is very important for the lively life of the city, the Canal Grande del Vaporetto, also known as the Grand Canal of Venice, it is 4 km of pure beauty, which cuts the city in half. It is like a highway on the water, perfect for calmly navigating small boats through the region.
Oh, and in Piazza San Marco, the most famous, the famous Carnival of Venice! Have you seen those gorgeous looks and breathtaking Venetian masks? Yes, it is the city’s carnival, a celebration that has history since the Middle Ages! In Venice there are three islands that are true hidden treasures! Murano sparkles with its famous crystals, Burano enchants with its colorful alleys, and Torcello offers a quiet escape with mouth-watering restaurants. Tourists hardly know what they are missing! Tours usually explore all three islands at once, revealing monuments and ancient buildings that tell the story of Venice.

One of the chicest art festivals on the planet takes place in Venice, and that is the fabulous Venice Biennale! It takes place every two years and is a true festival of art in many fields, including art exhibitions, music festivals, theater, architecture, dance, and cinema. The absolute highlight is the renowned Venice International Film Festival, the oldest in the world, which has been held since 1932.

Venice, the city of art built on water, is a true treasure with its canals instead of streets. A place so unique that it is impossible to compare it to any other city, including Amsterdam. An unmissable and unique experience.
