Venice, Italy

VENICE deserves to be called the nicest place in Italy. It is the only city in the world that completely sits in the water. It is also the only city in the world which is completely pedestrian – no vehicles are allowed inside.

Venice’s canals are unarguably the cleanest in the world and its waterways are a haven not just for rowboats but for mini-yachts, fast seacraft and other forms of water navigation from the crudest (a manually-powered boat) to the most technological (the latest Zodiac model).

Of course it is without question that the foundations of the buildings in Venice are among the sturdiest in the world. Without doubt Venice can definitely be called a wonder of the world and visitors there year-round are simply awestruck by its beauty.

Folks who have never been to Venice may take a glimpse of the beautiful city via The Italian Job’s opening moments. Director F. Gary Gray has achieved for his movie to be curious on how the day-to-day way of life in Venice really looks like.

Venice is ideal as a vacation spot all year round but mostly during the summer months when the tide from the lagoon is not that high. Besides, summer is where most celebrations occur.
