1. Venice and the unmissable events in Veneto
The beauty of Venice is always breathtaking. However, it is in Spring that you can really enjoy a pleasant walk near the Canals visiting Piazza San Marco and Ponte dei Sospiri avoiding the usual tourist crowds. We also suggest visiting some close towns that organize some amazing flower festivals such as Noale, which turns into an enormous colorful garden center for just a single day.

Umbria is the "green heart of Italy" and it is famous for its stunning countryside landscapes, which are even prettier when flowers start to blossom.
