How to visit the La Fenice theatre in Venice
The history of the lagoon city is closely intertwined with that of music and the perfect example of this union is the La Fenice Theatre, located in the Sestiere di San Marco in Venice. The neoclassical theatre, destroyed and rebuilt several times during its history, was the stage for world premieres in the 18th and 19th centuries and is still today one of the temples of opera music, with more than a hundred performances scheduled every year. Visiting it is a unique experience and allows you to discover another side of Venice, a city known the world over for its examples of Gothic and Byzantine art, such as St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace with its Bridge of Sighs, but also for its music.

Venice is visited every year by tourists interested not only in its unique layout – more than a hundred islands connected by canals and bridges – but also in its artistic tradition, with its many architectural examples of floral Gothic and Byzantine-inspired art. Those who come to Venice, however, often do not want to miss out on the peculiarities of local handicrafts either, especially the glass and lace-making that have made the neighbouring islands, Murano and Burano, famous.

How to climb St Mark’s bell tower in Venice?
Thanks to an entrance ticket, everyone can see Venice from its highest tower, St Mark’s bell tower: it is in fact one of the few in Italy to have a lift and the view from the top is unmissable, with an enchanting view of the square and the city. The campanile is in fact set in the context of St Mark’s Square, which includes the basilica itself and the Doge’s Palace: a concentration of history, art and wonder over the lagoon.

L’esponente più eccentrico della corrente del Modernismo catalano, Antoni Gaudí, è anche l’architetto dietro alcuni dei luoghi di interesse più celebri di Barcellona, come la Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell e numerose opere di architettura civile, come Casa Batlló, Casa Milà e Casa Vicens. Il biglietto per le tre case di Gaudí in città consente di scoprire il genio dell’artista spagnolo nella progettazione, ma anche nella decorazione degli interni, che insieme a tutte le opere di Gaudí da vedere a Barcellona è espressione del suo stile stravagante ed estremamente personale.
