Features: Venice, this beautiful and magical city, has captivated countless Venetians and tourists from all over the world for centuries. This water city is composed of over 200 small islands, with water and stone equally divided. As Boncompagnodasigna described in 1240, "it takes the sea as its land, the sky as its dome, and the flowing water as its four walls." Paintings, photographs, literature, and film works inspired by Venice are richer than those of any other city in the world, but none of them can replace the powerful impact of experiencing Venice firsthand—whether in the winter when the entire city is shrouded in mist or during the summer sunset when the city is bathed in the hues of Titian, Veronese, or Canaletto. Taking a gondola along the Grand Canal, Venice will leave you with an unforgettable first impression. Venice is a city filled with infinite charm and allure. It stands out among the many islands in the lagoon in history and is the most photographed city in the world.
