TRAVEL ICONS

Truman Capote said, "Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go."

He may have had something there.

Like no other place on the planet, Venice can render your mood both joyous and melancholy all in one swallow. Perhaps because, depending on the light, and depending on the moon's tide, she is either rising gallantly from the canals, or she is slowly slipping away. Whatever your perspective, one thing is for sure, there is no place like it. Almost 1,600 years after the founding of Venice, it can still boggle the mind how the ancient Romans built the Floating City. Throughout the centuries, it has endured floods, fires and plundering pirates. And yet, Venice remains a different world boasting beauty and triumph.

It is a city made of stone, but also of water and of sky. At first visit, your eyes do not move side to side, but rather up and down, taking in the grandeur and the surreal scene of a city surging from the rippling water toward the heavens. Arched bridges wink at passersby, revealing hidden alleyways and inviting first glances and second chances.

And what is a place without the people to add the color? The Venetians themselves are the golden fiber weaved in this tapestry. They give the city her undercurrent of joy through their character, their love of chatter, and, most importantly, their appetite.

World-class cuisine is center stage - from the most famous restaurants to the corner trattorias, to the fresh fish market, and the local grocers. These elements combine to make a magical place where history and elegance are celebrated daily, and where life centers around the table, a glass of wine and a plate of food.

Lucky for you our edible journey begins here, in this wondrous city that should be seen at least once in your life. But, like Venice does, she will likely bewitch you. And, as we fell under her spell, so too will you be lured back over and over again.
