ALONG THE LEqENDARY CANALS OF VEN|CE, ROMANCE FINDS YOU. atop a lagoon and made up of 117 islets, Venice is unlike any other city in the world. Grand palazzi line the cobbled squares, while graceful gondolas glide beneath elaborately sculpted bridges. But it's nol just the maze of waterways that makes Venice so hopelessly romantic. After all, this was the empire that captured Constantinople, made a legend out of Marco Polo, and brought spices and silk from the East into every aristocratic household in Europe. And even when the competition grew fierce in the trade market, Venetians soared to new heights in the cultural arena. Music, art and the famous masquerade lured the so-called "Grand Tourists" during the lTth and lSth centuries. After that, the city grew even more fashionabl6 and is now one of the most visited destinations around. St. Mark's Basilica is the signature attraction, clad in wonderful mosaics ano ple-cious artifacts. Also a must is the Doge's Palace and its famous Bridge of Sighs. Enjoy a gondola ride through the canals. Or cruise across the lagoon to the islands of Murano and Burano for some unique glass and lace souvenirs.,[mmerse yourself into the culture. B.uilt
