About Venice

Venice is not a city you visit - it's a city you live in, even for three days. It sits on 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by 438 bridges, in the heart of a lagoon that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. There are no cars, no traffic lights, no noise - just water, stone and light.
