The impossible city: 100 islands, 400 bridges, zero cars.
No city out-earns its descriptions like Venice still does: palaces on a hundred islands, streets of water — a wonder crowds cannot dull. San Marco (Europe's finest salon), the full vaporetto line 1 palace cruise, the €1 traghetto gondola trick, and rainbow Burano. Sleep at least one night — the city transforms when day-trippers leave; day-visitor fees apply on peak days but overnight guests are exempt; getting lost is half the point.
In-depth pages on the city's history, getting around, and the best times to visit.
Europe's easiest city to overpay: when to enter, where to sleep, what to save — magic and math together.
