Venice, the capital of Northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It is rich in history, art, romantic gondola rides, and Italian treasures. Visit the “golden church” or Basilica di San Marco, explore the Doge’s Palace, enjoy mouth-watering aperitifs complete with the Bellini, invented in Harry’s Bar in Venice. If you visit in February, you may be lucky enough to take part in Carnivale, inspired by Venice of the18th century, when the city transforms itself into costumed parades and actors and masks that represent the ancient crafts. It is a celebration that fills the city – not to be missed!
