Venice Vacation & Tourism Guide
photo by Lyndsey
If Rome is history, Venice is romance. Built entirely on water and passable only by boat or on foot, there is no place quite like it. Visitors cannot help being impressed by the sheer beauty of the canals, the lively piazzas, the centuries of art. Venice is a city that must be experienced at least once in a lifetime.
