The beautiful and unique city called Venice is capital city of Italy. Typical ad traditional gondolas, ferry boats travel in ‘water streets’ creating a unique cultural look for the visitors. Love for water is actually because of the reason that the city is built on over 100 tiny islands located in marshy location within Adriatic Sea. The visitors confront awe and shock when they see no typical city roads and cars but canals and boats. Visitors can hire these six passenger gondolas and feel the excitement by passing through historical stone palaces that look like simply rising out of water.
The Grand Canal tour especially when you are aboard a large boat, as large as an aircraft carrying 230 passengers, locally called ‘vaporetto’, engraves deep memories that you will cherish for a long time. The Grand Canal serves many boats making itself the main thoroughfare of the city. There you find large and splendid residences or public buildings, like a palace or museums called ‘palazzo’. These palazzi are firm ad solid commercial structure and they add value to look of the city. All these have a lot of historical importance that the travellers feel when they visit Venice.San Marco is an important spot in Venice and that is just 3.5 km from railway station but this much of travel explains most of what Venice is. Each and every building has its grandeur that one must feel while passing by it looking at the architectural details carefully. Make sure to watch all this in broad day light else you opt to enjoy typical night life of Venice including the magnificent sunset over the canals and waterways silhouetting the structures and the boats.
San Marco, the important spot in Venice, is a magnificent piazza and that is worth seeing in detail. This great square has a mix of European population as many many years back Napoleon coined a term “Drawing room for Europe” for San Marco. On the other hand is famous Basilica di San Marco that tells Venice’s history reminding the visitors about the political and judicial center. The visitors are recommended to learn little bit of Italian language to feel the cultural gravity of the city and have the real taste of pizza.
Venice is such a rich place that deserves a complete book for the travellers as there is so much of detail in every nook and corner of this great city.
