Built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by 177 canals and connected with 409 bridges Venice is Europe’s largest car-less urban area.

This resulted in a city that probably has more art per square meter than any other place in the world. There’s the fabulous St Mark’s Basilica with the Pala d’Oro altarpiece. The amazing Grand Canal lined with palazzo’s, of which the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni holds the diverse Peggy Guggenheim art collection. With the Venice Biennale and Venice Film festival, new contemporary art keeps flowing in as well.
