Rome

Whilst Rome has been and will always be Italy’s most sought-after destination for pilgrims, Venice once was the ultimate market-place for merchants from all over the world, who brought splendour and riches to the city. In later ages also came the admirers of all forms of art, and this has never changed. The city seems to patiently accept all its visitors, at whatsoever time of the year or day they come. Pigeons everywhere, but also expensive as well as cheap little shops with tacky souvenirs overcrowd the streets, but the complete picture also gives imposing palaces, beautiful, ancient dwellings and of course, lots of waterways in which the rich variety in colours and forms is reflected. more
