OUR Destination
VENICE
A lifetime is not long enough to experience a city like Venice. No matter how many times you visit, you’ll discover something new about its culture, history, romance, and vibe; Venice it a city that simply keeps giving. It’s a fascinating destination whatever the season, vibrant in the spring and summer, placid and calm in the autumn and winter months. Whatever time of year its watery arteries will lead your MICE group to the very best in conference facilities Italy has to offer, and a plethora of jaw-dropping historical and cultural splendours and surprises.
Every MICE meet should immerse themselves in the modern Art treasures of the Peggy Guggenheim and Palazzo Grassi collections, as well as the more traditional masterpieces like Titian’s paintings, or the sumptuous Grand Salon of the Doges’ Palace. But best of all Venice is an open-air museum which should be explored on foot. Taking a walk through its narrow streets and along its glittering waterways makes for the perfect pastime before or after a constructive business meeting.
