Venice has an intangible magic. The canals coursing between the 118 islands on which it is built, and under the almost 400 bridges connecting them, are alive with the sea tides – bustling with boats and gondolas, they remain the lifeblood of the city even today. This unique geographical vantage point and a bold spirit of trade made Venezia Europe’s leading financial and maritime power during the Renaissance and Middle Ages, but it’s the City of Water’s unearthly beauty that has been eternalised in culture. Its architecture that defies gravity, vibrant traditions and romance continues to inspire artists, playwrights, poets and musicians, as it has done since the days of Shakespeare and Voltaire.
