A city of waterways by sswagner
Naturally, someone should not go to Venice without seeing Piazzo San Marco. What makes Venice so unique is its waterways. Since there are no cars beyond the end of the causeway, one must take a boat of some sort to cover longer distances in this city. The Grand Canal is the single most important waterway. It starts from train station and works its way towards Piazza San Marco. I enjoyed taking the vaporetto up and down this waterway between the hotel and other sites. It gives you a different perspective of this city.The best thing about Venice is that all of it is impressive. In most cities, you have your good parts and your bad parts. It seemed like anywhere you went, it was beautiful. There is little evidence of modernization (other than the boats) on the main island. It is like stepping back through time. While there are single important sites spread throughout Venice, the whole city itself becomes one large attraction.
