Venice Italy

Venice is a city situated in northern Italy and is very well known for its tourism and industries. It is an important centre for silk, grains and spice trade. It is the romantic city since the buildings are constructed on closely spaces wood piles since the whole area is covered with underwater. The wood does not decay under water in the absence of oxygen. This is a wonderful sight for any tourist to be in the sinking city and feel excited.

This city has very hot summers and cool winters. This is the favorite tourist destinations for many since it is a beautiful city of arts. The famous tourist attractions are St. Mark’s Basilica, the Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal. The cinematic industry is the popular Lido di Venezia.
