Discovers the little-known sights of Venice, as well as treasures that simply can't be missed: the awe-inspiring Basilica of San Marco, the Doge's Palace, and the Academia, with its world-renowned collection of Renaissance art - wanders the narrow streets, and takes a gondola along the canals - sips a coffee in St Mark's square, and dines on gourmet Italian cuisine - enjoys an evening of Baroque recitals, opera or live jazz "Venice is as much a character as a setting, and the same may be said of its weather. In no other city will you be so aware of the light; on a clear, fine day no place could be more limpid and clear, no water as crystal bright as the Lagoon. The rosy dawn igniting the domes of St Mark's, the splash of an oar fading in the cool mist of a canal, the pearly twilight union of water and sky are among the city's oldest cliches."
