Venice, Italy "The Romantic City"

Venice is a small town with a small population of 65,000 people and consequently is home to just a handful of theatres, cinemas and music venues.

Beloved of honeymooning couples who come every year in their thousand to take a romantic gondola cruise down its famous canals, Venice is a real treat-yourself sort of place. Everything about this watery city, from its architecture (its main square, Piazza San Marco, is described as the most beautiful in the world) to its treasure-filled museums (the Galleria dell' Accademia has the world's greatest repository of Venetian art) and fabulous shops (where you can buy hand-crafted glass, paper and lace) seems opulent and luxurious.

In fact, you could go so far as to decsribe Venice as Italy's ultimate luxury, a hand-crafted addition the mainland, filled with enticing baubles.

As with everything else, hotels in Venice tend to be a good deal more expensive than on the mainland. There are bargains to be had (particularly in the area around the railway station), but you will have to do quite a bit of searching around.
