Venice

La Serenissima

Venice is an exquisite city, one of both mystery and serenity. Its endless, meandering waterways have seen countless explorers and partygoers over the centuries, and as one of the most romantic places on earth, plenty of lovers too.

It’s an unlikely city, being supported by stilts – some hundreds of years old – but beautiful palaces and churches float on the water like mirages at an oasis. It beguiles first-time visitors to its charm, especially those who come to get lost in its labyrinthine streets and alleyways. Admire awe-inspiring architecture on every corner and see Renaissance art at its peak. And discover after your short flight to Venice, that its past as a luxury destination is still very much alive. Superb iconic hotels and gourmet restaurants sit on beautiful piazzas, perfect for a lavish holiday, while the beach resorts on Lido Island wait on you hand and foot. But more than that, Venice is for lovers, for romance and public displays of affection. So hold hands as you saunter through the streets, be serenaded by a singing gondolier and kiss under bridges – no one will blink an eye.
