Venice

San Giorgio Maggiore basilica
The San Giorgio Maggiore basilica is located on the island of the same name, opposite Saint-Marc, the very heart of Venice. Designed by architect Palladio, the construction process was initiated in 1565 and not completed until 1576, after his death. Its façade was only finished in 1610 by Vincenzo Scamozzi. One of the church's most unusual aspects is it's three naves, and the view from the Campanile is simply astounding, offering a superb panorama of the city's rooftops.

Guggenheim MuseumThe Peggy Guggenheim Collection is Italy's most important museum for American and European art dating back to the first half of the 20th century. The collection is housed in the former home of Peggy Guggenheim, the ?Venier dei Leoni? situated on Venice's Grand Canal.

Inaugurated in 1980, the museum is home to Peggy Guggenheim's personal art collection as well as works by Picasso, Braque, Duchamp, Léger, Brancusi, Delaunay, Giacometti, Klee, Magritte and many others.

Your visit to Venice will surely take you past masquerade boutiques (for the carnival), sumptuous bridges, cafés on the Piazza San Marco and the Doge's Palace...
