A good 15,000 houses, palaces and churches spread over 117 islands criss-crossed by 177 canals and linked by 354 bridges. The indescribable wealth of the past has left its indelible mark on Venice's culture, art and architecture, which are absolutely world-class. Fall in love in St Mark's Square, explore the canals according to your temperament, whether in gondolas or by vaporetto, and discover the Grand Canal from the Rialto Bridge.
The incredible fish and vegetable market "Campo della Pescaria" in Venice is for the inveterate gastronomes.
The architecture of the Doge's Palace leaves no one untouched, and a visit to the impressive St Mark's Basilica with its thousands of square metres of gold mosaics is a must for anyone visiting Venice - and yes, the list of sights is as endlessly beautiful as the city itself.
