Venice by Swan Hellenic!

Venice, Italy is one of the most remarkable destinations in the world. It is known for it’s rich culture and vast architectural beauty. It has been said that you cannot be all things to all people. Perhaps that is not true about Italy. To some Italy means sunshine, music, food and romance. To others it is history, art, culture or religion.  At one time, Italy was the focal point of the “Grand Tour” – the rite of passage for young, wealthy Europeans and Americans to experience the culture of Europe. Today, Italy is one of the top 5 destinations for North Americans.

Venice is one of the most unique cities in the world. Built on a lagoon, there is no vehicular traffic in the city. The canal system is not for tourists only – it is an important transportation option. At times, the city floods as merchants and hotels calmly pick up furniture and rugs, moving them to a higher floor until the ground level water recedes hours later.iStock_venicecanal

Venice is made of different boroughs. The most famous is the area comprising the 118 islands in the main districts that are called “Sestieri” and they are: Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce and San Marco, where the main monuments and sights are located. Other main districts are Isola Della Giudecca and Lido di Venezia.

For those who enjoy a destination rich in culture, Venice offers dozens of museums and unique sights. There is never a shortage of things to do and see in Venice. Foodies rejoice!
