Venice is unlike any other city-a floating wonder of canals, history, and hidden surprises. Beyond St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and gondolas beneath the Bridge of Sighs, explore medieval streets, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Rialto market, and the Acqua Alta bookstore. Enjoy the Venice Film Festival, Carnival, and La Fenice. By night, Venice becomes a dreamscape. Extend your stay at Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, an elegant retreat in a 15th-century palace.

Rovinj charms with winding alleys, cobblestone streets, and pastel facades shaped by Venetian rule, giving it a romantic blend of Italy and Croatia. See Balbi's Arch with Venice's winged lion and the Church of St. Euphemia, crowned by Istria's tallest bell tower at 61 meters. Swim in the Adriatic's blue waters, relax on its beaches, and end the day with one of the world's most beautiful sunsets.

Trieste is a city of contrasts and charm. A former free port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1919, it earned the nickname "Little Vienna on the Sea." Its heritage shows in Piazza Unità d'Italia, Europe's largest sea-facing square, and Miramare Castle over the Adriatic. Known for its deep coffee culture and even a coffee university, Trieste also preserves La Lanterna, Europe's last single-gender beach. Its Venetian, Germanic, and Slavic influences make it uniquely vibrant.
