No trip to Italy would be complete without visiting the romantic city of Venice, land of 100 islands and the famous lover, Casanova. There is no other place on Earth quite like it.
Venice was a major center of art during the Renaissance. Spend an afternoon in one of its many museums. Admire the beauty of the Doge’s Palace built of pink and white marble, or have a cappuccino in one of the many elegant cafes in St. Mark’s Square. Visit the magnificently bejeweled St. Mark’s Basilica, the cathedral being one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture.
