Even if you only visit Venice for a few days, you will begin to understand its eternal attraction for visitors.

Venice thrives on tourism and draws over 12 million visitors a year. Catering for this influx of visitors, the cities population of 70,000 people continue their daily lives, working the bars, cafes and restaurants. Venice though is slowly sinking at the rate of approximately two inches every century. Terrible floods in 1966 caused much doom mongering and many people feared that Venice was about to be taken off the map.

   The best way of getting around is by water bus or water taxi (vaporetti) and the ultimate way is by gondola. Take a gondola ride down the Grand Canal as a great introduction to Venice. The canal is lined with stunning Renaissance palaces such as the Venetian-Gothic Ca’d’Oro, with its collection of bronzes, tapestries and paintings.
