Ahhhh..!! Venice!

"Venice is not only a city of fantasy and freedom. It is also a city of joy and pleasure."





-Peggy Guggenheim



I would love to go to Venice ones in my life. I'm so fascinated by the beauty of this place. Venice is a big hit in tourism. The city is connected with the mainland, 2.5 mi (4 km) away, by a rail and highway bridge. Between the islands run about 150 canals, mostly very narrow, crossed by some 400 bridges. The tourist trade is stimulated by many annual festivals, including ones devoted to painting, motion pictures, drama, and contemporary music. The Venice Biennale, which exhibits various kinds of modern art every other year, has been held there since 1895. Manufactures include lace, jewelry, flour, and Murano glass, and the city is a center for shipbuilding. 

                                                  



Venice is an experience that you have to try once in a lifetime. In Venice light and water combine to create a restless magic. All borderlines are eradicated some where between dream and reality, present and past, the ethereal nature of this town has fascinated many famous people. 


                                           
A must see if in Europe. Venice is truly "the" romantic city.
