\"Venice<\/a>

Grand Canal (Cannalasso) – The largest canal in the city.<\/p><\/div>\n

Venice<\/strong>, capital city of Veneto is a unique place with its own charm. Every monument and place in this city has history. Venice is known as the City of Water because of its canals and the best way to appreciate the history of the region is to understand the canals. There are over 150 canals which are the main means of transportation throughout the city with the largest one being the Grand Canal with four bridges spanning it. It\u2019s known as Venice\u2019s most important \u201cstreet\u201d and tourists get the chance to learn more about the Grand Canal<\/a> while riding through it. Some of the bridges such as the \u201cBridge of Sighs\u201d are quite famous.<\/p>\n

These canals can experience heavy traffic given that they are a major means of transportation in Venice but the boats are large enough to let you sit comfortably allowing you to take photographs and listen to your guide. Although industrial pollution has reduced in the recent years, the water in these canals remains filthy. This is also the reason for the constant maintenance that is regularly done on them. Despite this fact, the canals of Venice are one of the top attractions in Europe and there\u2019s no better way to experience the beauty and uniqueness of this city than to ride through the canals. Gondolas, the traditional Venetian rowing boats that used to be extremely common in Venice are now used for rowing races as well as to carry tourists on rides. Hence, these famous handmade boats have become more of a tourist attraction rather than a major means of transportation in Venice. Apart from experiencing this exclusive ride , tourists are also recommended to explore the diverse cuisines of Venice and try
\nsome of the local dishes such as Baccala\u2019 Montecata during their trip.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are aware that Venice is also famous as being one of the most romantic cities in the world. The New York Times once called it undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man. The uniqueness, mystery as well as beauty associated with Venice makes it worthy of being added to everyone\u2019s bucket list.<\/p>\n
