Venice
A city built on water — impossibly beautiful and unlike anywhere else
About Venice
Why travelers love it here
Venice defies logic — a city of 118 islands, 400+ bridges, and no cars, built on wooden piles driven into the Adriatic mud 1,500 years ago and still standing. The Grand Canal at dusk from the Rialto Bridge, the gilded interior of St. Mark's Basilica, and a vaporetto ride at dawn are experiences with no equivalent. Come in winter for fog and authenticity; come in Carnevale for spectacle.
