Venice, the capital of the Veneto region, is quite unique in that instead of being built on solid land, most of the city sits on hundreds of islands, interconnected by bridges. The best way to go around is by foot. The grand Doge's Palace is one of the main landmarks of Venice. Spotting the tower from afar at sea, you realize you have arrived at this magnificent city.
Another equally best way to go around and one simply cannot pass the opportunity is to ride the gondola through its iconic canals. Be serenaded by the gondolier as he propels the gondola into romantic ambiance. A must for lovers out there!
"Volare! Oh... "Nel blu, dipinto di blu" I can listen to it all day! #ILikeItaly #TreasureItaly
