Venice.. The city of canals.

Venice (Italian: Venezia, ) is a city in northern Italy, the capital of region Veneto, and has a population of 271,251. Venice's nicknames include "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", and "The City of Light".

The city stretches across numerous small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.

This city doesnt have roads or vehicles.
All you see is boats and canals.


We can reach Venice only by boat from the main land.
this was our first glimpse of the land which we had heard the a lot from the Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.



Piazza San Marco, often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal square of Venice, Italy. Its very famous for its pegions. Visitors often feed them and they are obliged by posing for a photo shoot.

The classical Venetian boat is the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Most Venetians now travel by motorized boats.

St Mark's Basilica (Italian: Basilica di San Marco a Venezia), the cathedral of Venice, is the most famous of the city's churches and one of the best known examples of Byzantine architecture. It lies on St Mark's Square and is a 9 th century beauty.
