Description:
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117
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.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays
is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies.
Now, most Venetians travel by motorized waterbuses (vaporetti) which ply
regular routes along the major canals and between the citys islands. The city
also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by
Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at
certain points without bridges.
You can see the amusing citys landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo
Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Marks Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The
villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one
of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside. They are surrounded
by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is
also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.
