A walk on the Venetian canals is the dream of any traveler, more quiet or nonconformist. Only when it comes to the canals, does anyone’s imagination build, without hesitation, a representation of the Italian city, with curved bridges, under which steamboats or gondolas pass, carrying the joys and sorrows of hundreds of lovers. Famously built on 117 tiny islands, Venice is linked by more than 150 canals and 400 bridges. But geography says that the city is actually sinking as water levels rise every year. Hence, before any such mishap happens, we give you the opportunity to visit this marvelous city.
Venice is small and lovely, perfect to be explored by foot or…by gondolas. Historic and gorgeous. “Venetians fit the Italian profile. They speak the language, eat pasta, dress impeccably and love opera. And yet, they are different. They have built no walls around their old city, have sacrificed cars for gondolas and generally look outward rather than inward for artistic inspiration” (the Venice Biennale is a modern-day continuation of this mindset, but we will talk a little bit later about it).
