Venice

There is nowhere quite like it anywhere else on earth. Timeless and unique, Venice defies all expectations, more beautiful than mere pictures can suggest. And its faded palaces, their feet in the waters of the lagoon, are cloaked in a sense of magic and mystery that simply takes the breath away. Venice is not just a city of canals but also an intricate maze of tiny lanes, leading to quiet squares or undiscovered churches.
