VENICE
Whether you fancy taking in a bit of culture, getting on a gondola for an unforgettable tour around the city, or hitting the tiles for a top night out, Venice has got it all!
The city of Venice is uniquely built over a lagoon, distributed over 118 islands and divided in two groups by the Canal Grande. Marvel at the graceful palaces and gothic churches; the exotic mix of Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance architecture adds greatly to the romantic feel of this city! The name La Serenissima, the most serene one, reflects the serenity of Venice floating on the lagoon, and the majestic reputation of Venice as a trade city between Europe and the Orient.
Besides taking in the magic of the city, you can unwind on the islands and beaches of Venice.
Just a few minutes away from Venice you will find the peninsula Cavallino Beach, a tourist attraction with 15 kilometers of beaches and plenty of tourist accommodation. Another great getaway near Venice is the beautiful island of the Lido of Venice. Golden sand beaches located just between the lagoon and the sea!
