Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of region Veneto. The city stretches across 110 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", and "The City of Light". |
|  | Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 110 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.
Venice is Europe's largest urban car free area, unique in Europe in remaining a sizable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without motorcars or trucks. |
I think there is nobody, who don't hear anything about Venice.
My expectancys about the Venice were messy.
So I've hear, how beautiful this city is - all these canals, gondolas ... and I've hear, how dirty and smelly this city is, all these canals again ;)
Now, when I've been in there, it was surprised me pleasantly.
It was really nice and romantic city, I was in there only one day and I want certainly return to this city one day ... | | | View of San Giorgio Maggiore Island |
