3 The destination VENICE, ITALY. VENICE ITALY To describe Venice as a unique city of exquisite grandeur barely serves it justice. Famed for its intricate canals and splendid architecture, this breathtaking beauty is a city steeped in history a city of sublime cultural awakening, as charming as it is mysterious. Established in the 5th century, Venice stretches across 118 small islands, connected by more than 400 footbridges, in a bay on the Adriatic Sea. Once a naval super power through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the city was a platform for the Crusades and a hub of transport and trade, equally known the world over for its spices, grains and silk and its art, musical and operatic prowess. Today, this bustling cultural hub is a mecca for the history and architecture aficionados, the lovers of music and art, and the food and wine enthusiasts. It is a city exuding as much loveliness as originality, one that prides itself on unconventional creativity while maintaining its traditional roots. A city that, despite its popularity, has managed to preserve its magic and charm. Venice will undoubtedly indulge your senses, from the aptly named Grand Canal awash with vibrant activity to the more subtle, kaleidoscopic landscape of the Venice lagoons and sandy island beaches. The allure of the city s architectural design, historical squares and influential monuments combined with its atmospheric backstreets brimming with dynamic artisan showrooms, local culinary delicacies and centuries old craftmanship, will take you on a journey of discovery. You will be mesmerised by the sweet serenade of music sounding down cobblestone streets, the daily echo of the gondolier s wake-up, the hospitable locals and the fuchsia-pink sunsets that have seen centuries of locals and tourists stand still in admiration.
