Venice
Venice is one of the most remembered and loved cities in the world. A City built completely above water and a real treat for any globetrotter. The city, 1400 years ago was protected against invaders purely because it was two to three miles from Italy’s shoreline but the city also had their own political views to that of the main land and I think that it is even shown today.
From the Gondola’s that line the rivers to the amazing architecture, Venice is a truly romantic city with the intention of falling in love. A Gondola is a very traditional and fantastic way to see the city but be prepared as it can be expensive, especially in the Summer time as all tourists like to experience them.
