Venedig

Marco Polo, Titian and Tintoretto, the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica and Palladio's churches, black gondolas and the colorful carnival - the former queen of the seas entices with melodious names, architectural and artistic masterpieces, traditional festivals, and its charming location on more than a hundred tiny islands. Venice is a labyrinth in itself. Soon, one feels the special charm in the constant search, as no detour is in vain. Unexpectedly, you find yourself in a small campo you have never seen before, discover a dreamy palazzo by a side canal, and pause in surprise before a church facade. The art travel guide serves as a companion to the artistic treasures of Venice. However, it would mean experiencing the city in a one-sided way if one were to view it solely from a museum perspective. The author Thorsten Droste provides insights through excursions.
