離開佛羅倫斯（Florence）帶著期待的心情來到期待已久的水都－威尼斯（Venice/Venezia），火車進站前就可以看到汪洋一片，出了火車站也是一樣，簡單的說威尼斯（Venice/Venezia）其實就是把城市的馬路變成水道！
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venice (Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja], Venetian: Venexia [veˈnɛsja]) is a city in northern Italy which is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. It is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE) (population 1,600,000).
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century B.C. The city historically was the capital of theVenetian Republic. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man". Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain and spice trade) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history. It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially theRenaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
威尼斯（Venice/Venezia）上哪兒都需要搭＂巴士＂（水上巴士）。
在威尼斯（Venice/Venezia）應該不太可能沒搭到船，水上巴士、水上計程車。。。

威尼斯（Venice/Venezia）名氣最大的聖馬可大教堂（Basilica di San Marco）
