Venice: Serene, Decadent

and Still Kicking

Narrated by Rick Steves

30 minutes; European Travel Guide

Sorting through the monuments of magical Venice, we trace its decline from Europe’s most powerful city to its most hedonistic. We cruise its main street— the Grand Canal — then get lost in its back lanes. We drink-in the art of Titian, Bellini, Donatello, and the Doge’s Palace. We luxuriate in a venerable café on St. Mark’s Square, enjoy calamari with locals in a canal-side pub, then find our own private Venice: on a gondola, under the moonlight.
