Somewhere, far beyond the horizon, Venice is waiting, the sea is waiting for you! But before you get there, the temptation must be resisted. Many attractive landscapes and cities will invite you to linger on your journey: the vineyards of South Tyrol, Lake Garda, Verona and Padua. And then, at some point, you will see the sea. Venice. The city built on stilts. "I saw the buildings rise from the waves like sorcerer's dazzle; a millennium stood before me, its dark wings stretched out," wrote Lord Byron. You too will not be able to escape the magic of Venice. And yet: the way is the goal!
