At the fall of the Roman Empire, the inhabitants of the Venetian cities escaped from the ferocity of the Huns and Vandals and took refuge in the islands of the Adriatic lagoon: around the year 450 Venice was born on over 100 islands. Centuries of sea commerce made the city wealthy and cosmopolitan reaching the heights of its power at the beginning of the 15th century. Venice, home to Marco Polo and Titian, crisscrossed by canals connected by hundreds of bridges, is a treasure from an artistic and architectural point of view. No wonder, Venice is one of the cities most visited by tourists from around the world. Therefore, if you are planning to visit Venice, try to avoid the months of July and August and the Easter holidays. |

Andreas, I really enjoyed your pictures on Venice. I will be heading to Venice in a couple of months as a part of my cycling tour around the Alps. Any recommendation regarding where to stay, and also what to do? Thanks, Kati |
