Vience

Venice is a beautiful city in northeastern Italy. It is called ‘The Floating City’ as it is built on 117 small islands. This city has no roads. Instead, people use boats to travel along the canals. Flat-bottomed boats were once the main means of transport, but today motor boats are more popular. In Venice, you can visit the famous Piazza San Marco with its world famous basilica, the lovely bridges over the narrow canals, and some of the best museums in Western Europe.
