Venice is a major seaport in northern Italy, and the capital of both the province of Venezia and the Veneto Region. It is the 11^th largest city in Italy by population. Venice, Italy’s floating city is also known by a few other names, including the city of canals. Moreover, the historical center has no “drivable” roads for cars or motorbikes, just canals that crisscross the city (in “S” shapes). Furthermore, the Grand Canal, the largest and most prominent of all canals, is also one of the most romantic places in Italy.

Venice’s best and main form of transport in the historic centre is the unique and colourful Gondolas. Although outnumbered by other water ferries, they remain the symbol of Venice. From across the Grand Canal on both sides of the canal, there are many Gothic and restored palaces and squares. Moreover, in 1987, they collectively designated Venice and its Lagoons a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Please keep reading to learn more about my short visit to Venice, Italy’s floating city.
