Venice
Metropolitan City of Venice | Italy
2019
“Venezia” in Italian, this entire region is made of canals & built on longs right on the water. Being on the water the main form of transportation are water taxis, with different routes and boat numbers taking you to different islands.
The water everywhere was very relaxing, and being made of islands, everything was very close together. Being walkable with large bridges and a lot of places to see this was a great area to explore.

- Rialto Bridge
The detail that is present all around Venice is really breathtaking. Present even on the bridges that connect the islands together, Rialto Bridge was breathtaking in both it’s presence and it’s history. The amount of people that must have walked that bridge is remarkable.
Bridges of Venice
-
- Rialto Bridge – connecting San Marco & San Polo
-
- beautiful bridge facing the sea – connecting Riva Ca di’ Dio & Riva San Biasio
The history of Venice I can imagine is long and extensive, with a lot of the buildings holding the original characteristics that were present when first constructed. In a time where minimalism and efficiency is valued, seeing the artwork and details placed on these buildings is something that it less common to see and really should be appreciated.
