Venice, sinking, spectacular and truly unique.
Venice, sinking, spectacular and truly unique, bedazzles the visitor, appearing to hover mystically between the lagoon and vast expanse of skyline, its cupolas and campaniles peeping above tightly packed rooftops. Beloved of Romantic poets and contemporary travelers alike, Venice's appeal lies in her timeless elegance, age neither withering the glory of her architecture nor depleting the abundance of her treasures. They say 'See Naples and die', but you will see Venice and drool.
