Venice, with its world famous canals, gondolas, carnival of masks and of course its bridge of sighs, is perhaps one of the most beautiful and intriguing cities on Earth. Built upon over 100 islands linked by over 400 bridges, the city is a maze of alleys and canals. Although the city is only the size of New York's Central Park, there are over 120 miles of alleys. When you see the city seeming to float upon the lagoon, its Renaissance palaces as grand as anything in the cities of Tuscany, you will understand why Venice is a must see for anyone visiting Italy.
