Venice

Visit Venice - In the rich cultures of Europe and celebrated cities of Italy, few places capture the imagination as much as Venice. Its fabled canalled thoroughfares and gilded palaces possess a beguiling beauty unsurpassed by anywhere else on Earth.

No-one can forget their first view along the Grand Canal, Venice's main artery that bisects the city. Grandiose buildings in fabulous colours lean at crazy angles over dark water - at any moment you feel they could collapse into the lagoon, and this most precious of cities disappear forever. Overall there is an atmosphere of carpe diem, Venice is a city for enjoying now, as tomorrow, you feel, it may be gone.
