One of the main reasons to visit Venice was the Biennale, the art fair. The offer is very diverse and from all parts of the world.

The second reason to go to Venice was to visit the opera in Verona. The performance takes place in an ancient Roman Amphitheatre and the ambiance is incredible. We went to a performance of Aïda.
