It is an exciting experience to be able to travel in a gondola. There are over 116 islands near Venice, and over 409 bridges connecting them all. You can bet there are many beaches to get that relaxing suntan. Venice is also home to the famed "Marco Polo". Venice has very nice summers and makes for an excellent place to visit. There are many canals that you can explore, and during the winter Venice looks like a winter marvel. There are many old churches that have been preserved and kept in their original condition
Illustrating the uniqueness of Venice, this great 'road of water' is the most beautiful street in Venice. One can glide along the Grand Canal and be surrounded by the most opulent architecture. The atmosphere is absolutely unforgettable, as the splendour of the Grand Canal is unparalleled. To meander along the canal by gondola is literally to take a journey through Venetian history.
Campo dei Frari, San Polo, Venice Due to the size and style of this massive church, i Frari is often compared with the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo. The architecture displays fine detail around the plain brickwork, but due to the sheer size of the building it appears rather rigid and plain, although nonetheless pleasing to the eye. The outside appearance is reflective of the Franciscan lifestyle, which focused on spirituality and poverty. Inside, there are Venetian treasures including the extraordinary Titian altarpieces and Bellini's Madonna and Four Saints.
Campo San Sebasiano, Dorsoduro, Venice Rich decoration embellishes the inside of this 16th-century church where the painter Veronese established his reputation by painting amazing frescoes whilst still in his twenties. Veronese continued to produce astounding works within the church, throughout his career and was eventually buried here. The opulent nature of Veronese's art beautifies the church and makes it so unique.
