Venice

Venice is the capital of the province of Venezia, and of the region of Veneto in northern Italy. It is situated at the northwestern end of the Adriatic Sea and is an Italian seaport. The city is built on islands, surrounded by a lagoon in the Gulf of Venice, which is protected from the tides by sandbanks. About 150 canals run through the city, which is connected to the mainland by a rail and highway bridge. There are no cars allowed in Venice and everything can be reached on-foot; however, the gondola is the best-known form of transport through the canals, but many of them have been replaced by various boats and even public water taxis. Most of the people in Venice work in tourism, since it is a cultural and tourist center. Visitors can enjoy the many small shops and renowned hotels, as well as many festivals that are organized each year. Many of the popular tourist sights are located in St. Mark's Square and the Piazetta.
