VENICE, ITALY (1) Venice is a city that is so unusual and unique. It consists of islands connected by bridges and congested with buidings built with concrete that sits on ancient petrified logs. The streets are free of cars. Transport is on water and by the various types of boats. Access to Venice from the Italian mainland is by air, rail and road. The final path to your hotel or boarding facility is on foot.
