Venice, Italy

 

Venice is built on over 100 tiny islands in the Adriatic sea that are connected by a canal, and thus it is also known as the floating city and the city of canals. Some of the activities you must enjoy in Venice include going to the top of Saint Mark's Bell. This is the highest point in Venice, where you can view the whole town. Make a point of going during sunset and sunrise. Visiting Venice without visiting Dt. Marks Basilica is unthinkable, so put that on your to-do list. Visit the museum that houses remarkable pieces of art, and walk through the bridges, which there is no shortage of. For history lovers, visit the arsenal that has the history of the maritime Republic of Venice. There is also a very rare piece of art in Venice; the Murano hand glass, where you can watch an artist hand blowing the mirror, which will remind you of your trip to Venice.
