Moonlit night. Musical instruments. Company of your lovemate. A slowly
moving gondola in a canal. Can anything be more romantic? Traverse the grand
canal with your mate in a gondola. The watery way is lined by luxurious
palazzos, dating back centuries, and embillished with ornate Renaissance
facades. If you want to cross the broad canal on foot, you can use
elaborately designed Rialto Bridge.
More than 100 canals, spawned by almost 400 bridges, serve as the
alleys in Venice. The houses stand on piles. For moving swiftly, one can use
water taxis, locally known as vaporettos.
Few more famous places of Venice are St. Mark's Square, Campo San Polo,
Doge's Palace, Palazzo Gracci, Palazzo Labia, Palazzo Malipiero, Basilica di
San Marco, Riatto Bridge and Bridge of Sighs.

people had fleed to save themselves from barbarian invasions. For this
reason they established their city in a swampy, sparsely settled lagoon.
