The lagoon of Venice
The most beautiful islands around the lagoon city
Venice, the beautiful lagoon city, is one of the world’s most unique cities and a real tourist magnet. The city itself was built on a conglomerate of more than 100 small islands. And yet there are many more islands in the lagoon worth visiting. A trip to the Lido, where each year the famous film festival is held, a visit to the glass-making island of Murano or to the picturesque fishing island of Burano should also be part of a stay in Venice. Far less known are the remarkable islands of Torcello, San Lazzaro degli Armeni and San Francesco del Deserto – but even they are all worth a visit.
