Venice 🇮🇹

#traveldiaries Timeless and magical, the soul of Venice is made up of 118 islands in the Adriatic Sea, united together by more than 400 bridges, separated by canals that act as waterways, forever bustling with gondolas and boats. 🛶🛥️ 🚤It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs. Centuries-old architecture, cobblestone alleys and winding streets filled with cafes, gelaterias, and boutiques. #venice #beautiful_italy #italy #historicallandmarks #familytrip #localguides #grandcanalviews
