Venice is a fairy tale on the water
Venice is exactly the city that everyone wants for an hour. You just have to fall in love in a pulsating romantic age. After arriving in Venice in an hour you realize that this is not a scenery, but a real city.
The Queen of the Adriatic, a charming city of canals and palaces ...The character of Venice is twofold from the very beginning: water and land, long history and a dubious future, airy delicacy and dark melancholy. When these precious places are flooded, the world will be poorer.
In the role of public transport in Venice are steamers - Vaporetto. They are like our regular buses with their own route, ticket, mandatory stops and even hustle and bustle.
You can hire a gondolier to enjoy all the beauty of the waterways and narrow streets of Venice. A gondolier is a sailor in a striped T-shirt and a straw hat with ribbons, who skillfully steers a long slender boat - a gondola (Gondola).
This wonderful and unforgettable walk costs 70 euros per hour. In particularly crowded places - 100 euros. To save money, tourists gather in groups of 6 people (this is the maximum number of passengers in the gondola). The role of taxis in Venice is performed by private motor boats.
All of Venice is one big museum. This is a real paradise for connoisseurs of beauty. The most famous sites are the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) - the former official residence of the Venetian rulers and the Cathedral of St. Mark (San Marco). Next we can mention the Rialto Bridge, once the only bridge connecting the two banks of the Grand Canal.
Many souvenirs of all tastes and colors are sold in Venice. These are various jewelry made of precious metals, figurines, utensils, famous Venetian masks, Murano glassware.
And almost no one lives in Venice. There are still a lot of patriots and fanatics of their hometown who are ready to endure terrible life inconveniences for the sake of harmony of water and stones.
Surprised the streets of Venice - the neighboring windows are literally a meter apart. There are few streets there, mostly canals.
Everyone knows that Venice goes under water and is gradually collapsing. But until you arrive directly at the place, you do not realize the scale of the destruction. Water is the main enemy and poetics of Venice.
