Venice is a fascinating city in the northeastern region of Italy. Famed for being surrounded by water, Venice is one of the most unique and recognizable cities in the world.

Completely man-made environment rising from the sea, built on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. These canals jet through the pathways, with boats and gondolas sailing atop throughout the city.

Enjoy the gondoliers, whether on foot or on the water, serenading the crowds of people. The car-free streets let visitors walk free, able to explore each enchanting corner of the city.

Whether you’re admiring the Venetian architecture, eating some of the best Italian food, or shopping for your own unique Venetian mask, Venice is an important stop on any trip to Italy.
