Description

It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone. ~ Erica Jong


Venice captured the impression of a magical floating city by setting wood pilings on the 118 submerged islands in the Northern end of the Adriatic Sea. 400 foot bridges and 170 boat canals connect the city to make it easily accessible to the local populace.

Fun fact: Many famous people in history were born in Venice including the playwright and famous lover Giacomo Casanova, the explorer Marco Polo, and composer Antonio Vivaldi.

Get Lost on a Scenic Maze!
Venice can be compared to a one big adventure. Once you are caught in the winding and seemingly endless streets and bridges of confusion, you would have no other choice but to keep on walking, which is actually a good thing! There's no better way to explore Venice than getting lost and be surprised in what it has to offer at your every turn.

Fun Fact: Breaking away from the sea of tourists flocking at the city center in Piazza San Marco and heading for the narrowest alleyways is the greatest way to discover Venice! Don't forget to bring a good map though!
