Renowned as the city for lovers, couples from across the globe flock to Venice to get lost in its charm and magic. Founded over 1500 years ago, Venice is a masterpiece of engineering and artistry. The city is structured across 118 small islands, separated by canals and connected by bridges, making you feel as though you are floating on water. Winding through the heart of the city lies the iconic Grand Canal, lined with bustling markets and elegant palaces.
The unique architecture makes Venice a floating masterpiece, and a destination worth visiting. Although the city relies on water transportation such as vaporettos (water buses) and water taxis to get around, a car can be useful to explore the mainland and surrounding areas.
