Venice, a city of painted palaces and serene churches, shimmers on water. This unique urban masterpiece has canals instead of streets, boats instead of buses, and ornate bridges instead of subways. A Venice city break offers an unforgettable glimpse of life’s defining moments played out on watery avenues: weddings, funerals, carnivals and regattas.
With its 150 canals, 400 bridges and magnificent 16th and 17th century palaces and piazzas, it is no surprise that Venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Gloriously romantic in spring, triumphant in summer, noble in autumn and seductive in winter, a Venice city break is a popular destination year round.
