Romance is the key-word for understanding Venice, a beautiful city in Northern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region whose uniqueness has inspired writers and painters, poets and sculptors. While tourists may be shocked at the sight of a city almost under water, they will be immediately conquered by the sight of gondolas slowly moving through the canals.

Apart from its astonishing surroundings, Venice has a great deal of monuments, museums, piazzas or palaces which became the focus points of many tourists. Interested in culture, history or art? Then you can visit the magnificent constructions in St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), the Doges Palace (Palazzo Ducale) or St. Mark’s Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) and daydream about Casanova escaping jail upon the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri).

One of the most important carnivals in the world, if not the most important, is the Venice Carnival which takes place every year.
