Venice has always had an important role over the course of the centuries: in history, in economics, in politics and in European culture, it is one of the most romantic and enchanting in the world. Water is
Venice’s primary element, given that it was born and lives upon it, proposing scenarios which are quite unique. For getting around, a car is not necessary; boats, traghetto ferries and the typical gondolas give you the possibility of transport all over.
411 bridges, 118 small islands, 150 channels - the "Canal Grande" is 3800 m long - are the basis of this town miracle.
Its artistical, historical and cultural treasure is due to an incredible, intricate and harmonious communication system based on water and on stones.
The power of this millenary civilization has been so strong that has gone beyond the limits of the lagoon and, mixing with the original features of the rest of the region, gave to the entire Veneto the particular and characteristical
Venice influence.
The
Venice of today, is a place which manages to successfully combine different types of tourism, able to satisfy every requirement.
