We left Florence on a high speed train for Venice, travelling first class. A nice train. Checked into the Hilton Garden Inn and caught a bus to old town.
It is a city in northeastern
Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.
[2] It is located in the marshy
Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the
Po and the
Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks.
[2] The city in its entirety is listed as a
World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon. It has 2000 canals & 800 bridges. We stayed there around 5 hours today and will go back tomorrow an ride a gondola.
Very interesting town.
