The unique urban layout of Venice and the immense wealth accumulated by the Most Serene Republic during the golden centuries of its history have produced a multitude of irresistible attractions. Starting from the Grand Canal, an S-shaped waterway that runs through the entire historic center, dividing it in two, the main stop is undoubtedly St. Mark's Square and its Basilica, a monumental Byzantine church with five domes adorned with mosaics depicting the city's history. Its Campanile, built in 1173 as a beacon for sailors, is the tallest building in Venice. Palazzo Ducale, the sumptuous seat of the Most Serene Republic, is also worth a visit, as it is one of the greatest examples of Venetian Gothic architecture. Visit Ca' Pesaro, a splendid 17th-century building overlooking the Grand Canal, and the home of the International Gallery of Modern Art in Venice. It holds a large collection of Italian and foreign painting, sculpture, and graphics from the late 1800s to the present day. Among the masterpieces on display are the famous "The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin and "Judith II (Salomé)" by Gustav Klimt, as well as works by artists such as Medardo Rosso, Giacomo Balla, Adolfo Wildt, Arturo Martini, Gino Rossi, Giorgio Morandi, and Felice Casorati.
Venice is a unique city in the world. Immerse yourself in the Venetian atmosphere by strolling through its narrow streets and squares, admire the Rialto Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs, and take a break at the city's numerous "bacari" to enjoy a Spritz or a glass of wine and a "cicchetto," the classic Venetian appetizer. From Venice, you can also embark on excursions to some of the world's most distinctive islands: Burano, famous for its lace production, Murano, known for its glassmaking, and Torcello, one of the oldest human settlements in the area.
The immense cultural heritage of the Most Serene Republic is preserved in its museums and historic palaces, such as the Doge's Palace, Ca' Rezzonico, the International Gallery of Modern Art, and the Accademia Galleries on the Grand Canal. Venice is also home to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the world's most important collections of contemporary art.

In addition to cinema, from April to November, Venice hosts the Biennale of Art, Architecture, Music, and Dance in the charming setting of the Gardens and the Arsenal. One of its most famous monuments is dedicated to opera: the Teatro La Fenice, which hosts the International Festival of Contemporary Music and the famous New Year's Concert.
Venice is famous worldwide for its historic cafés, with the first "coffee shop" dating back to the second half of the 17th century.
