Venice—The Queen Of The Adriatic

The gorgeous ‘bride of the sea’—Venice, a city of northeast Italy is built on 118 islets within a lagoon in the Gulf of Venice, an arm of the Adriatic Sea.

The 'Queen of the Adriatic'—Venice is locally dubbed as ‘The Most Serene One’ for its tranquil and placid beauty.

Venice is one of the major ports besides commercial & industrial center of Italy. It is the capital of the region of Veneto and of the province of Venice.

The ‘city of canals,’ Venice has a great network of canals instead of streets. The Grand Canal serves as its main canal. The people use gondolas and other boats to move around the city. Shakespeare has beautifully portrayed the beautiful city of gondolas in ‘the merchant of Venice’ and ‘Othello’.
