About Venedig

Venedig schwimmt in einer Lagune mit über hundert Inseln: Kanäle, Paläste und Brücken ohne Autos, und jeder Spaziergang endet unerwartet.

Der Canal Grande zieht in einem großen umgekehrten S durch die Stadt, gesäumt von Palästen und überspannt von der Rialtobrücke. Nahe seiner Mündung versammelt der Markusplatz den Markusdom mit seinen goldenen Mosaiken, den Dogenpalast, die Seufzerbrücke und den hohen Backstein-Campanile. Vaporetti und Gondeln zeigen die Stadt aus dem Blickwinkel, für den sie gebaut wurde.

Top-ranked sights in Venedig: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
