To Venice
To Venice – one and only. No other cities in the world come even close to Venice. The water streets and the entire pedestrian city is just a dive into the past, where time stops and people walk suspended between eras as the world turns and Venice remains an island. The buildings and the hundreds of little squares are just beautiful, some “Calle”, (the Venetian name for streets) are so narrow that it is possible to touch from part to part extending your arms. Little shops, restaurants are all over and comfortable Locandas (Inns) are ready to welcome you. In Venice, the art speaks by itself. Visit Piazza San Marco, the Bell Tower, The Fenice theater, Ponte di Rialto or the Ponte dei Sospiri, then Take a couple of hours to visit Murano and its glass workshops. Gondolas sail everywhere, replacing noisy and polluting cars. On high tide season special wooden walkways are placed in the city, as it floods for several days. If you happen to be there during the Carnival, you can see Venice at its best, where customs and masks are worn and the atmosphere becomes even more surreal than usual, creating and extraordinary and magical experience. Another special event is the boat race on the Canal Grande, where the city stops to watch this spectacular show. For centuries Venice has been a city leader in the commerce and an important seaport, it was already important when Marco Polo made his expeditions to China, as another of its citizens, Casanova, highlighted Venice romantic and sometimes libertine tone
