Even if you only visit Venice for a few
days, you will begin to understand its eternal attraction for
visitors.
Magical Venice, with its lattice-work of
islands, canals and bridges, enchants all those who visit. Its
labyrinthine streets, palaces and tiny squares are fascinating to
explore.
History and art have
combined with a unique setting to produce arguably, Europe's most
beautiful city. The magical city of Venice is made up of 118 islands
linked by 453 bridges.
Venice thrives on tourism and draws over 12 million visitors a year.
Catering for this influx of visitors, the cities population of
70,000 people continue their daily lives, working the bars, cafes
and restaurants. Venice though is slowly sinking at the rate of
approximately two inches every century. Terrible floods in 1966
caused much doom mongering and many people feared that Venice was
about to be taken off the map.
The best way of getting around is by water bus or water taxi (vaporetti)
and the ultimate way is by gondola. Take a gondola ride down the Grand
Canal as a great introduction to Venice. The canal is lined with
stunning Renaissance palaces such as the Venetian-Gothic Ca’d’Oro,
with its collection of bronzes, tapestries and paintings.
Two of the most famous bridges are the Rialto, spanning
the Grand Canal and noted for its bustling market, and the Bridge of
Sighs, connecting the Doge’s Palace with its prisons.
Lido di Jesolo
is set on the
beautiful Adriatic coast looking out onto the Venetian Lagoon, Lido di
Jesolo makes the ideal base for exploring the region. Venice is an
hour away by boat, 30 minutes by bus.
Caorle. Broad golden sands that
stretch for nearly 18 kilometres sum up Caorle. These beaches
also play host to musical evenings and firework displays.
