Venice- Part 3

Venice is built on islands in the middle of a very large bay.  There are few streets, however, canals crisscross the city and are the best way to get around. 

There are more boat owners in Venice (per-capita) than anywhere else on earth.  Everything from construction to trash pickup, restaurant deliveries to police services are conducted on the water.

Some of the greatest cities have been located near water.  Venice is a great example of that.  The location of Venice has made it a natural trading destination for hundreds of years.  With that trading has come culture and sophistication.  Venice has something for everyone.
