The floating city of Venice is a true original,
generating passion in all of its visitors. The 400 bridges
that connect almost 200 islands are the result of centuries
of diligent work. Venice has been an inspiration for the most
exquisite minds in the world, receiving praise from the likes
of Lord Byron, Napoleon, and Michelangelo, among others. The
city appears enchanted and almost designed for couples in
love. The quaint cafes, waterfront restaurants, cobblestone
alleys, and dramatic architecture all brim with romance. Lovers
are just as important to the scenery of Venice as many other
landmarks and treasures. In Saint
Mark’s Square, you will find yourself literally
surround by architecture spanning several centuries. A short

Canal, remember this body of water supported what was once
the most important commercial power in all of the Mediterranean.
Be sure to visit all of the major points of interest, but
leave time to get lost in the complicated labyrinth of alleyways.
No matter which path you choose, the city is full of inescapable
symbols such as the lions of St. Mark, the red and white striped
shirts of the gondoliers, and, of course, the bridges, which
manage to hold every breathtaking piece together.
