Venice Travel Guide

See Venice and then return... Venice has this unique ability to surprise every time you go back. The Serene (Venetian: (Serenìsima) has an extraordinary power of fascination. Those who go to Venice for the umpteenth time still feel this indescribable emotion: you'll be like everyone else, dazzled and surprised at every turn in this anachronistic city. No photo explains the charm of its small winding streets and its peaceful neighborhoods.

Venice has always advanced hidden. Lose yourself in its eccentric yet garish neighborhood where you will have as imaginary companions Corto Maltese or the Commissioner Brunetti, the paper heroes of Hugo Pratt and Donna Leon, to help you better understand their city, its secret courses, its forgotten palaces, its hidden alley ways. Don’t forget to visit the Rialto market and the Rialto Bridge on San Polo which has become one of Venice's most recognizable icons with a history of more than 800 years.  

Venice... We immediately think its famous gondolas sailing on the Grand Canal. What would Venice be without its lagoon? For hundreds of years, it has been both a protective barrier and commercial asset for the city. This sanctuary on a lagoon is almost the same as it was six hundred years ago.

Venice is made up of many islands connected by more than 400 bridges, creating a maze where only the Venetians are not lost. Along the canals, palaces facades recall the prestige and wealth as the city experienced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Spend a day on the islands, essentially Burano, Murano and Torcello, all worth a visit.

Explain how warped the special atmosphere that floats in Venice? We guess in part through the Venetian painting, but we have really come to Venice for the taste. This is one of those things that can not be explained and must be lived to understand.

Do not be afraid to come even in winter, when it's cold and gray. The melancholy mood of this city that goes out is mesmerizing. Venice in the mist, and even under the snow, is magnificent and it follows in the footsteps of the Venetian.
