About Venice, we could talk for hours, describing its many beauties and peculiarities. It is a city unlike any other in the world and now everyone in the world knows. For this reason, millions of tourists each year to race here to be fleeced by restaurants and retailers. But nobody can do without, and even that is a feature of Venice. Eventually a city built on water, rather than on the field, can be different from everything else and the rules of life different from other cities.

As we arrive in Venice, we are immediately captivated by its magical atmosphere that appears suddenly and different from all other cities in the world.

In Venice, there are no cars, there is not even a bike or bikes. Instead of throwing you into a magical world, with medieval buildings and canals. The atmosphere and the landscape are not those of a modern city, but a city in a fairy tale, has remained unchanged since the days of knights and ladies.

Walking between the streets and alleys or "street" as are called the streets of Venice, we are constantly surrounded by monuments and churches for themselves are masterpieces to be admired for free.

Venice is also called the "City of lovers" because, precisely because there are no cars, it can allow long walks and quiet, surrounded only by the sound of water lapping its shores. Venice seems to be a fortress where time has stopped, where there are no buildings or highways. Not to mention that in Venice there are some of the finest paintings and the finest original works a large number of famous Italian artists such as Jacopo Tintoretto, Tiepolo GB, Titian, Veronese, Bellini, Giorgione, etc ... in its churches, museums or palaces.

In addition to being a true paradise on the heart for love of modern art, Venice spends every two years one of the largest exhibitions in the world of contemporary art: the Venice Biennale. Also in Venice, it is possible to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, full of masterpieces by contemporary artists.

But the peculiarity of Venice is not only in its architecture, such as average transport is the traditional gondola, the only boat in the world 11 meters long and weighing over 600 kg which can be operated with lightness and facilitated by a single person with a single oar, became for millions of tourists the very symbol of Venice.

Another peculiarity is the Venetian masks are now used in Carnival costumes, but once the Venetians used it throughout the year and in some places. The reason was the most obvious, which is not recognized. And here, for example, they used to wear masks when they participate in gambling at the redoubt, because they do not want to be recognized by creditors, who otherwise would not have given them over. The women wore masks, not only to avoid being recognized, but also for beauty. When they went to the hostel Selvadego, they used to put on a mask of velvet to emphasize the whiteness of the face.

Venice is filled with people, bars or restaurants where all people can eat the Venetian "cicchetti (type of appetizers) and drinks spritz wonderful (sort of appetizer), perhaps listening to Jazz music played by some actors fabulous. And in restaurants, it is possible to eat local dishes, especially fish dishes that will satisfy your hunger and your taste after having enriched your mind during the day to admire the many beauties of this city.
