Vacation in the city of love – main image

It is hard to imagine a better place for a trip for two than a romantic Venice on the warm Adriatic Sea. This city attracts couples in love like no other - well, one would like to say, it's probably such a romantic atmosphere here.

Visiting Venice is at first glance an extremely complicated matter: the city lies on 118 islands that are connected by charming stone bridges and narrow footbridges. In fact, this "Italian mess" is very easy to grasp - not only famous gondolas run on the canals, but also reliable vaporetti (water buses) and water taxis. Besides, even if we get lost for a moment among numerous picturesque tenement houses, our reliable partner will certainly find the way (the more that a clear arrow shows it ...) Note, however - walking along the narrow streets between successive, more and more beautiful palaces, we can fall in love not only with the Partner walking next to us, but also with wonderful architecture! Yes, Venice is not only the "capital of lovers" but also one of the most architecturally beautiful places in the world.

Venetian time travel

A vacation in Italy is always an opportunity to travel back in time. Venice is great for this! It is here that the greatest artists of their time, including the brilliant Tintoretto, created their works. At the request of powerful families, palaces that were unmatched in wealth were created. Baroque and Renaissance interiors of places such as the famous Doge's Palace will allow us to discover more and less known stories. Yes, it is within the walls of this mighty palace that we can see the place where the most famous lover in history - Giacomo Casanova was imprisoned. The former Jewish district, which today houses active synagogues, is a fascinating and still alive mixture of two cultures that have been intertwined here for centuries. One cannot forget the symbol of Venice - the Rialto Bridge, which has been attracting attention with its beauty for over 800 years. While standing in one of the windows carved in white stone, it is worth closing your eyes for a moment and simply soaking up the sounds and smells of this unique place. It is worth ending our journey through Venice at the Basilica of St. Mark - the patron saint of this city. This church is a place of particular importance to its inhabitants. The massive structure was built throughout history, destroyed and rebuilt between the 9th and 14th centuries. Moreover, in the heyday of the city, by law every ship entering the port had to donate some part of its wealth. No wonder that we can find here not only a variety of styles, but also decorations from around the world. In the evening, it is worth taking care of a full stomach - eating in Venice is an important matter! Fans of Italian flavors will appreciate a light meal served in open bacari, small bars serving local dishes with plenty of wine.

Venice - walk between the canals
For many years, Venice has been one of the most visited cities in Europe. No wonder - the capital of the Veneto region, or Veneto, captivates with its unique beauty and numerous attractions waiting for tourists. And there is no shortage of these, because as statistics show, the city is visited by up to 20 million people every year! Why is it worth going to Venice? What to see during a weekend trip to the city of canals?. Venice is a one-of-a-kind city. The dense network of canals, estimated at 150, creates a unique atmosphere that attracts travelers from all over the world to a holiday in Veneto . The city with an area of 412 km2 also has its own unique history, dating back to 452, when it was founded by the Venetian tribe. In later times, Venice was a democratic republic ruled by the Doges, and in the 10th century it became the greatest maritime power in the Adriatic. Crafts flourished in the city, including the production of Venetian glass and cloth making. Until the discovery of the sea route to India in the 15th century, Venice dominated trade with the entire East. The discovery of Vasco do Gama somewhat weakened the position of Venice, which remained, however, the center of outstanding architecture and art. Napoleon, who conquered it in 1797, also played a role in the history of the city. The city was later incorporated into Austria, and regained independence again in the 19th century. Currently, the city is a showcase of northern Italy, an important cultural center of the country. Due to its unusual location, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and its economy is mostly based on tourism. However, life on the lagoon is not easy. Its inhabitants are exposed to frequent flooding, there are also difficulties in the movement and transport of goods.
