About Venice
Time travel is impossible, but you can head to Venice, Italy for the next best thing.
Built entirely on a number of small islands threaded by a series of picturesque canals, Venice was created in the fifth century A.D. to protect residents from barbarian invasions. These islands are sinking today, but steps are being taken to correct the problem and save this Italian treasure.
As they've done for centuries, Venetians today rely on boats-- including the world-famous gondolas-- for getting around the city's 150 canals.
Even the most seasoned traveller cannot tire of the sight of St Mark's Basillica, the Doge's Palace or the Rialto Bridge. The Old Lady of the Lagoon still holds sway over all that she surveys, testament to the cities historical significance as a centre of Mediterrean commerce. The very essence of Venice permeates through every small side street of centuries old buildings which defy natures attempts to reclaim what was once her own. Every tiny canal, enlived by the passing of every gondola, is an enchanting discovery in this most romantic of cities. Every one should visit Venice at least once in their lifetime; why wait any longer?
