Venice. Let your mind take a leisurely trip down the Grand Canal: gondolas steered by men in stripey jerseys, the Bridge of Sighs, masked balls and streets made of water. One of the most beautiful and beloved cities in the world could not fail to bring an extra level of romance and excitement to an already spectacular occasion. But there is more to Veneto than the crown jewel of Venice; it is also home to the artistic landmark of Padua and to Shakepeare's Verona.
