Introduction
Straight out of a fairy tale, Venice, Italy, is a city unlike any other, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Stretching across 118 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy, the city can only be traveled by boat or on foot, giving visitors superior views of its many sights. Overflowing with sumptuous palaces and breathtaking works of art, eateries serving the most delicious foods, and world-famous festivals, celebrations and events, Venice remains forever “La Serenissima”, The Most Serene Republic.
