About Venedig

Venedig flyder i en lagune med over hundrede øer, en bilfri by af kanaler, paladser og broer, hvor hver gåtur ender et uventet sted.

Canal Grande bugter sig gennem byen i et stort omvendt S, kantet af paladser og krydset af Rialtobroen. Nær udmundingen samler Markuspladsen Markuskirken med sine gyldne mosaikker, Dogepaladset, Sukkenes Bro og det høje murstensklokketårn. Vandbusser og gondoler viser byen fra den vinkel, den blev bygget til at blive set fra.
