Visit Veneto

A city built on water with no cars — gondolas, Byzantine mosaics, and getting happily lost in the back canals

Glide the back canals by gondola — touristy, yes, but silent, ancient and unrepeatable anywhere else

Pale limestone towers that turn rose-pink at sunset — Italy’s most spectacular mountains

Masked balls and Carnevale in the floating city — 18th-century costumes drifting through misty winter squares

The world's oldest film festival — red carpets on the Lido and the Golden Lion every late summer

The glamorous "Queen of the Dolomites" — ski slopes, jagged peaks, and a 2026 Winter Olympics host

Romeo and Juliet’s city — a Roman arena still staging opera, and a romantic riverside old town

See Giotto's revolutionary Scrovegni Chapel frescoes and Europe's oldest botanical garden
