The City of Lovers

wedding-gondola-1Venice is called “the city of lovers” since there are no cars and you can enjoy long and romantic walks only surrounded by the noise of the water splashing on the banks.

Venice takes up an area of more than 7 km², distributed on 118 small islands connected by 418 bridges and divided by 160 canals, among which the most important is the Canal Grande (Grand Canal). The city of Venice is far larger and it encompasses many territories on the mainland, the wonderful islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello and the areas on the litoral that divides the lagoon from the Adriatic sea: Lido and Pellestrina.

The heart of the city is Piazza San Marco (San Mark’s Square) and the homonymous basilica which was built up in 9th century. Next to the basilica you can find the Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) where many centuries ago the government body and the doge lived.

If you go through the less known zones of Venice, you’ll discover a silent and peaceful city similar to the sleeping city depicted in the Canaletto’s pictures.

In Venice there are six big areas called sestieri: Cannaregio, San Marco, Castello, Santa Croce, San Polo e Dorsoduro. The most symbolic places of the city are Rialto e San Marco.
