To those who come here for the first time, but not only, Venice appears magical; it is because of the mist of the lagoon on the water’s surface, which gives the impression that the city is emerging from the sea (and not sinking), the silence and stillness that sometimes characterize it, the absence of cars and the labyrinth of narrow streets and bridges, in which to get lost and always find new picturesque views.Â
Undoubtedly, part of the charm comes from the peculiarity of its architecture, borne of its centuries-old history, which makes it a unique city.
For the following points of interest, it is advisable to ascertain in person whether they can be visited as accessibility may vary according to seasonality:
Ca’ Foscari
Giustinian Palace
