Built on more than a hundred small islands that are separated by canals and linked by bridges.
The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a World Heritage Site.
Venice has no roads, just canals. The Grand Canal thoroughfare lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces, The central square, Piazza San Marco and the Campanile bell tower.

We made our way to The Floating City of Venice and it was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen! A city full of romance and serenity, great food, and built on water.
We love Venice which completely man-made environment rising from the sea, with no visible means of support. Romantics revel in its atmosphere of elegant decay, seeing the peeling plaster and seaweed-covered stairs as a metaphor for beauty in decline.
The car-free streets suddenly make us feel big, important, and liberated.
Venice is a city of museums and churches, packed with great art.
It was an amazing experience.
