About Venecia

Venecia flota sobre una laguna de más de cien islas: una ciudad de canales, palacios y puentes sin coches, donde cada paseo termina en un lugar inesperado.

El Gran Canal recorre la ciudad en una gran S invertida, bordeado de palacios y cruzado por el puente de Rialto. Cerca de su desembocadura, la plaza de San Marcos reúne la basílica de San Marcos con sus mosaicos dorados, el Palacio Ducal, el Puente de los Suspiros y el alto campanario de ladrillo. Los vaporettos y las góndolas muestran la ciudad desde el ángulo para el que fue construida.
