Built across 118 islands connected by 400 bridges, Venice welcomes 13 million visitors each year to its car-free labyrinth of canals. The Grand Canal and St Mark's Basilica remain Europe's most photographed waterscapes. UNESCO inscribed the city and its lagoon in 1987, recognising its extraordinary universal value.
