Fall in love with Venece

61488768venece_24 Venece is sourrounded by canals, narrow streets and bridges, you will need a good map to explore this small but great city.

It is divided into six ancient districts called sestieri (Cannaregio, San Polo, Santa Croce, San Marco, Castello, and Dorsoduro).

Each one has its own unique character and is worth visiting.Three bridges cross Canal Grande (the Big Canal), the main waterway of Venice.

The most famous is the Rialto Bridge, a stone bridge with two rows of shops which connects San Polo and San Marco. Ponte Scalzi, located near the train station, connects Cannaregio with Santa Croce and Ponte Accademia connects San Marco with Dorsoduro.

There is more than water in Venece, The city of the masks, misteries to find out, old legends became reality, like an unreal place floating in the water.

Be sure to make your reservations in advance or you will end in a lousy Penzione (argh, fillty, fillty, sharing the room with roaches and rats.... NOT KIDDING), unless of course you don“t mind that :).

The trip is not over untill the fat lady sings =)
