Holidays in Venice

Venice is an incredible city built on water. It has a reputation as the most romantic city in the world, which is why Venice tours for two are so popular. Venice has heard declarations of love and proposals of marriage more than once: on an old bench on a small and quiet square, in a slowly floating gondola along the Grand Canal, on a figured bridge, on a narrow street where small houses are pressed against each other, or in one of the cozy restaurants on the Riva de Schiavoni embankment. Venice is completely saturated with love, here its scent is carried by a light breeze along the streets, touching every resident and traveler. A trip to Venice will open up a completely different country for you, where walking along the streets of the city, you will see another world, where its own unhurried life flows, which has not changed much over the past centuries: children play on tiny playgrounds, adults communicate in simple little cafes, the streets are filled with the ringing of bells from nearby churches.

Venice was founded in the 5th century by the Veneto tribes, who were looking for salvation from the attacks of the barbarians. And then the future Venetians moved to the island of the lagoon. The Venetians built one of the most beautiful cities in the world, whose patron is St. Mark. His image in the form of a lion adorns the emblem of the city. Venice is built on 122 islands connected by 400 bridges. For many centuries, Venice was a haven for real masters, who left behind exquisite palaces along the Grand Canal, houses crowded together along narrow streets, many paintings and works of art. By choosing a vacation in Venice, you will see a city built on piles, which seems to float in the air above the water. Venice attracts tourists from all over the world with its prices for vacations and invites you to enjoy the charm of its canals, the sea breeze, and get acquainted with the masterpieces created in the city. The architecture of Venice is incomparable. It has inspired many figures of art and culture: what is only Santa Maria della Salute - a delightful temple on the banks of the Grand Canal, majestic and snow-white, with a large round dome, and St. Mark's Square can boast of St. Mark's Cathedral, which sparkles with gold and frescoes.

Undoubtedly, Venice had its magnificent period from the 16th to the 18th century, when trade and art reached their development, and the Venetian fleet became the master of all the seas. It was during this period that the masterpieces of Titian, Tintoretto, Canaletto, Canova, and the works of Goldoni were created. Modern Venice is beautiful, but its future is under threat, since the islands and the bottom of the lagoon tend to sink. So in some periods the city is submerged at a rate of 3-4 cm per decade. But in addition to flooding, the city is threatened by tides and environmental pollution.

The main transport in Venice is the river tram, there is also a river taxi, but it will cost much more. The most incredible transport is the gondola - an 11-meter, curved boat in the shape of a crescent. It has retained its shape and strict black color. The gondola is mainly intended for tourists.

The Bridge of Sighs got its name not at all because of the romantic sighs of lovers, as one might think. The bridge connects the building of the Palace of the Rains, which housed court and prison. And only on this bridge, when the convicts were escorted, they sighed and cast a farewell glance at the city.
