Venice

Without a doubt, Venice (Venezia) is one of the most romantic destinations in the world. Venice is the city of masks and of course the stylish carnival. The city is located on a group of more than 120 small islands in the middle of a lagoon (the Laguna Veneta) that are largely connected by more than 400 bridges. It is a unique, magical city that captures the imagination of many people. A city trip to Venice will therefore not disappoint.

Where other cities have an important street, Venice has – how could it be otherwise – the Grand Canale with its typical gondolas. The water-flooded palaces on the great canals look unreal beautiful.

Venice has produced many famous names in history, the most famous of which is Marco Polo. This famous Venetian, explorer and trader brought a lot of wealth to the city with the discovery of the Silk Road. According to tradition, he also brought the spaghetti recipe from China, something a real Italian will of course always deny.

Because Venice was a prosperous trading city, it has a great wealth of art and culture, which you will find in the richly decorated facades, palaces, churches and beautiful museums. For many hundreds of years Venice was also the center of glass production, only in the early 19th century this position was affected by industrial glassworks.

Venice has many restaurants, but due to the hordes of tourists that flood the city every year, it is difficult to find a good restaurant. We have therefore made a small selection under the heading restaurants. What you should not miss is of course the spaghetti alle vongole that comes from here.

During your city trip to Venice you will discover that it is a beautiful city, but you need to hurry, because the city is sinking. Add to that the rising sea level and you immediately understand that the city faces a major challenge. Although you don't have to jump on the first best flight right away, it is definitely a good idea to visit this city quickly.

We do give you one thing though: do not drink coffee or drink on Piazza San Marco, or you will have to pay € 10 per consumption for it of course. Furthermore, Venice is more than worth a city trip!
