Venice
A city built on water, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its lagoon since 1987: Piazza San Marco and the golden basilica, the Doge's Palace, the Grand Canal, Rialto. The secret is to get lost in Cannaregio and Castello and stop at the bacari for an ombra (a small glass of wine) and a cicchetto.
