Map of Venice Vacation, Travel and Hotel Information

There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe Venice's charm and grace; even attempting to convey its wonder fully in is among the boldest yet most futile attempts. All lovers of Italy must experience Venice walking down ones of its impossibly tiny calle (narrow pathways), across a tucked-away piazza inhabited by a medieval monastery; promenading through the Piazza di San Marco, or traveling through the mysterious canals in a traditional gondola. Venice is a profoundly special city, and the reasons for which can only be appreciated by immersing yourself in its splendor.
