Touristic information
Welcome to Venice !
Venice is one of Italy's top travel cities and a beautiful, romantic destination. Situated on the northeast coast of Italy, its lagoon is protected from the Adriatic Sea by a strip of land called the Lido. Founded more than 1,500 years ago on 117 different islands. Venice is linked by a series of over 150 canals, 400 bridges and many ancient pavements. With its magnificent buildings, monuments, churches and palaces along the water canals and the small traffic-free streets and lanes it is simply unique.
The historic city centre is divided into six quarters (sestieri):
Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Marco, San Polo and Santa Croce. The Grand Canal is like a main street, cutting through the city centre.
Venice is with no doubt one of the most fascinating and popular cities in the world, and is always admired by thousands of tourists in every season of the year, who can enjoy the taste of excellent Venetian food, the magic atmosphere of the city through the visit of the most important and popular attractions and museums, the lively squares and interesting shops, a gondola trip, or simply wandering along the small streets of the main tourist tracks.
Venue: Venice - Island of San Servolo
Today San Servolo is the only island in the lagoon to be restored and rehabilitated by a public company, the Province of Venice.
Likewise the island is the property of the Province of Venice.
The transformation of the island of San Servolo, once a place of isolation, into a space for dialogue between culture and experience: an island open to the city, a space intended to welcome cultural events, study conferences and training courses, is unique in the city of Venice where the majority of conference centres are tied to private enterprise, business and tourism.
Venue : Address: Isola di San Servolo - 30124 Venice Italy
