Venice is a truly unique city, as well as an unforgettable experience. This Pearl of the Adriatic was built over the course of many centuries, resting on wood piles in the marshy Venetian Lagoon. A gondola trip on Canal Grande is also a trip through the long history of Venice. The Rialto Bridge, the Doge Palace, the Square of St Mark and the many palaces, which have been the homes of wealthy families for 1,000 years, are but a few of Venice’s many famous attractions.
